I was first introduced to Yoga at the age of 10.  My movement studies since 1978 have included T’ai Chi Chuan and Qigong, Karate & Kenpo (5th Dan) and Escrima.    I've taught martial arts, massage and Contact Improvisational dance and studied Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais work.

I wrote the practical portion of "The Everything Book on T’ai Chi and Qigong", have produced several video and dvd programs on T’ai Chi, Qigong and Energy Medicine and wrote "The Push Hands Workbook", which is now the bestselling book on two person T’ai Chi practices.

I've also written a workbook, "Transforming Your Inner Critic Into an Inner Coach" which takes the reader through a process of healing using applied self-compassion.

My primary work is as a psychotherapist and life coach and I've taught students in both these disciplines at the Masters and postgraduate level.

I have a number of free resources on my YouTube channel and my website.
