Welcome to my healing practice, the life of which now spans well over 25 years. I have been inspired along the way by many experiences as well as my mentors, teachers and the wonderful people I have had the privilege to help in their various times of need. In many cases, these days, I find myself often treating three generations of members of a family.
This is a very rewarding experience, allowing me to function like the ‘family physician’ of the old days, who is very familiar with the entire family, their history and patterns and trends of health and dis-ease.

I have formed a trusted referral network of fellow practitioners, people excelling in their fields; services including: GPs, osteopaths, physiotherapists, chiropractors, to name but a few.
These important cross-modality relationships mean that the care of my clients will be complete and ‘no stone will be left unturned’ , in the search for understanding and treatment outcome satisfaction.

Such is my longevity in natural therapies, that I have, myself, matured into an elder within this profession and I derive great satisfaction from mentoring new aspirants into the healing arts.

I consider the ‘mind-body continuum’ a very important aspect of health maintenance and wellbeing.
As a result, I place much emphasis, clinically, on emotional, mental and physical balance; on the awareness of personal stress patterns and how to deal effectively with them and on the quality and soundness of our many and diverse relationships and interpersonal communications.

I look forward to being of service to you, your loved ones, friends, workmates and acquaintances, as you navigate the challenges, trials and tribulations that are part and parcel of everyday life in this 21st century.

Warm regards to you,

Michael

Below is a quote which I want to share with you.

I have long enjoyed it, as it poetically and concisely summarises my aspirations, in life as much as in healing:

What is it we want?
To fully experience our aliveness.
To feel in our bodies a streaming, like the rush of the river over stones.
To be awake alert and responsive in our limbs, and sensitive in our fingertips.
To feel as if our inner and outer reality is congruent and that our efforts are rewarded by a sense of satisfaction.
We aspire to have our private lives nestle within the valley of a public world, which we can affirm.
We long to feel connected to each other.
We want to be able to embrace and be embraced.
We want to live the lives of our bodies, to permit us to fully live our lives.
Chinese medicine is a beginning.
