About Me

I was born in Canada but have spent most of my adult life living and working in Australia. I moved to the UK in 2003 to accompany my wife who took up an appointment at the University of Nottingham.

Like many therapists, I became interested in bodywork after working with various practitioners over the years in treating my own chronic neck and shoulder problems. I studied Remedial and Sports Massage at the South Australian Health Education Centre in Adelaide (now part of the Endeavour Group), which at the time was one of only two or three further education colleges offering courses which complied with national standards in Australia.

While at SAHEC, I was introduced to Bowen Therapy by Russell Sturgess, founder of Fascial Kinetics. After receiving my Diploma in Remedial Massage, I went on to gain practitioner qualifications in Bowen from two other internationally recognised Schools.

Earlier in my career a lot of my work was with sporting clubs in Australia, mainly football, and this gave me an excellent background in dealing with a whole host of soft tissue injuries. More recently I've tended to focus on the common kinds of musculo-skeletal problems which develop from the stresses and strains of our modern lifestyles.

I have run or assisted in running workshops in massage and Bowen Therapy for several years now and am currently the UK instructor for an Australian Bowen training academy. Recently, I completed a post graduate qualification in adult education and training so that I am better able to help people learn more about the fascinating world of bodywork.
