Shiatsu practitioner and Tai Chi Teacher
Tai Chi is based on the movements of animals adapted for the human form. In its origin myth, in the thirteenth century, a Chinese monk, called Chang Sen Feng saw a snake and a crane fighting. The monk based his martial style upon the animal movements of retreat and attack. There is a focus on breathing, slow movement and the connection to your body and mind and being grounded.

About ME
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.
