My Path
I have over two decades of training in Asian healing arts. My path began with Yoga in 1997, studying with masters in Japan and India while remaining committed to its authentic roots beyond modern trends. I am a certified Yoga teacher through IYF Asia, qualified in South Korea, and I continue to draw on the depth of that long practice in my teaching today.
In 2010 I turned my focus to authentic Qigong, training intensively with masters across Mainland China, Hong Kong, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand and Scotland. What started as a personal practice quickly became a vocation. I went on to lead Qigong groups in Tokyo, Fukuoka, Vienna and Seoul, sharing these practices with diverse communities and deepening my understanding of Qi cultivation and the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine as they relate to energy work and the body's meridian system.
In parallel with my Qigong training, I qualified as a Therapeutic Thai bodywork therapist and instructor, accredited by TTMA Japan since 2018, with deep additional study in TCM Reflexology. This gave me a precise, hands-on framework for working directly with the body's energy lines. I have taught at senior tutor level at the Traditional Thai Massage Association Japan and at the Shivaga Traditional Medical School in Japan, where I delivered Therapeutic Thai Bodywork, Reflexology and Qigong.
On a note unrelated to any mundane practices and considerations, I am an initiate and direct disciple in the Inchegiri Navnath Sampradaya lineage (Nisargadatta Maharaj, Ramakant Maharaj).
