Acupuncturist, presenter and creator of the Chi Cycle health system. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is my profession, passion and purpose. I taught it for a decade, write books that popularise elements of it, and I’m a practitioner in the traditional sense as I combine research and clinical practice with hours of chi-practice daily.
It all began in rehab, one I ran that is. Although one I was a patient in could have been just as likely as a good decade of my life was devoted to altered states. And although that didn’t end well, it did lead me to Chinese medicine and chi, and that opened more doors than the drugs ever did.
Preventative health is a passion and my version of lifestyle medicine is based on the Chinese organ clock, the idea that chi circulates through our organs every 24 hours, and that changing what you do when will change everything for the better. It imagines us all as cogs in complex and mystical cosmic workings and if we just realign, life becomes more meaningful and mystical by the day.
I developed a residential rehab program based on this concept, and the healing and transformative medium of chi.
