On Wednesday and Friday mornings I still teach on-line Classes via Skype from 10.30am until 11.45am.

Tai Chi is a wonderful way of supporting your mental wellbeing, being a gentle method of exercise, enabling you to destress your mind, boost your immune system, maintain strength and flexibility in all your muscles and joints and connecting you mind to your breath. All this by simply breathing slowly and deeply, whilst doing 18 easy Tai Chi moves.

Bowen Technique
£50 for the first treatment and £45 thereafter. I initially recommend between 1- 3 consecutive visits as Bowen is a progressive treatment that allows the body time to get to the 'cause' of the symptom, followed by maintenance treatments every 6-8 weeks or to suit your needs to keep on top of the condition.
