I have been involved in Tai Chi for over 25 years. I was inspired by this practice to learn further about the meridians I came across and their applications. I wanted to help improve my health and the health of others. I decided Shiatsu embodied what I was seeking.
I trained at the Northern School of Shiatsu in Sheffield, qualifying in 2021, after a 3 years course. The Shiatsu style I practice is called Zen and was developed by Mr Shizuto Masunaga in Japan. I am a member of the Shiatsu Society, through whom I have Public Liability Insurance.
I became a Tai Chi practitioner in the 1990s. I was attracted by the graceful and slow movements and meditative opportunities. I am a member of the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain.
I practice a hand form Yang style and the 8 Treasure Qigong set (Ba Duan Jin). I also do Fan forms, Sword and Stick forms.
I have taught Tai chi and Qigong in Bradford, Yorkshire, for a number of years.
