Profile

After training as a Massage Therapist in the early 1980s, I began teaching and studying Yoga in 1988, following intensive study in India at the Sivananda Academy. My life long interest in Yoga as a
system of psychological and physical wellbeing is coupled with my belief that the science of Yoga can improve the understanding of our individual natures.

I’ve completed additional yoga studies in the tradition of Krishnamacharya’s Viniyoga, and now work and study in that tradition. This can then enable us to direct our attention to where it is required and improve our individual effectiveness in whatever we choose to do. This now allows me to teach this valuable practice to students individually or in groups but always with respect to what the individual needs. As part of my efforts to deepen the knowledge of Yoga, I’ve also completed additional, studies in Ayurveda, and Pilates.

I’ve also been a practicing Acupuncturist since 1989, completing post graduate advance studies in Chinese medicine in Nanning, China, and attaining a Bachelor of Health Science in Acupuncture from Victoria University in 2003. During this time, I also completed several studies in Herbal Medicine.

Attaining and Maintaining Balance Complementary medicine is about prevention. I work within the idea there is a natural and balanced state of health, but due to environmental factors and our
actions, we disturb that natural balance. I use these therapies to restore this balance:



Yoga

Yoga is ‘a science to remove the fluctuations of the mind’ - an ancient system of refinement back to our natural state. The science of Yoga shows how the practice of certain postures – called asanas – restores the flexibility and strength of the body. Understanding the breath through breathing techniques unblocks the obstacles to the circulation of energy - prana – while meditation removes
the disturbances of the mind.



Acupuncture

By stimulating specific points along the body’s energy ‘meridians’, obstructions can be removed to the body’s natural energy or ‘qi’ (pronounced ‘chi’), and health restored. Proven effective over several thousand years, modern medical research has now shown Acupuncture to be an successful treatment for a range of health conditions, including the reduction of pain and stress.



Herbal Medicine

The use of Chinese herbs works on the same principle as Acupuncture, using the energetic properties of traditional herbal formulas to rebalance the body’s energy. Herbal medicine can help patients participate in their own treatment as part of their lifestyle choices and health regime, and can be used along with nutritional supplements.



Massage

Regular massage can help to maintain the body’s energy, relaxing the nervous system and reducing physical tension. Massage can also treat particular injuries by increasing circulation and promoting the body’s own natural healing power.
