Having originally trained as an engineer I then spent 20 years in the retail sector, for Marks and Spencer. This was a very rewarding time, working with some wonderful staff in retail stores and then in the company Head Office in Baker Street, London. (Shopfitting project management and Fire and Safety). I then set up my own freelance safety consultancy. In this I was able to help a relative who was suffering from severe shoulder problems after 30 years as a typist. I looked for something to help more, and did some basic training in Shiatsu, liked the logic of the Chinese approach …and ended up completing a 3 year Diploma in Shiatsu!! As I practised safety and Shiatsu, both part time, and then taught Shiatsu I became more captivated by Chinese Medical theory – So… I completed a 3 year degree course in Traditional Acupuncture at LCTA in Finchley London.
