Chinese

Living and functioning in society, our daily routines are often structured according to rigid time slots, which is commonly not conducive to allowing for efficient and even sufficient recovery from illness or injury, not to mention coping in such a way where our bodies don't struggle from time to time with the regular pressures placed upon us. For many people this leads to the development and maintenance of so-called 'sub-states of health', which, in turn, are often times chronically medicated for the symptoms they can provoke, the expression of which manifests relative to the vulnerability of the individual. The scope of application of Chinese medicine is very broad, & is fundamentally twofold:

1) As a form of medical treatment

2) As a preventative modality to enhance the potential of the body to make future medical interventions less likely due to an increased resilience of general vitality. This preventative branch of traditional Chinese medicine is termed Yǎng Shēng 養生, which directly translates to "Nourishing Life", for which the application of Nèi Gōng principles (posture & breathing exercises) are key. Chinese medicine offers very safe and effective strategies to treat, recover from and prevent illness, as well as to improve 'sub-states of health' to develop toward actual states of health. In other words, where the body is enabled to function independently of any therapeutic modality. Any and all medicine must work with the body in order to secure and enhance the potential to regain independence from any form of treatment, conventional or 'alternative'.

My practice will be closed between 22 Dec and 2 Jan this festive season, so I’ll be seeing patients for the last time in the old year on the 18th in Gardens and the 19th in Kommetjie and commencing again on 5 January 🎏

Ahoy everyone.
Just a heads up that for this week I will be working in town on Wednesday (Dec. 3) instead of the usual Thursday, as well as teach my weekly Qigong class from Company Gardens at the usual time from 7 to 8:30 on that morning as well.
Looking forward to seeing you then.

I am honoured to have been invited to the Healing Frontier Seminar (https://www.holistica.net/events/7186/), where together with a host of other seasoned and like-minded practitioners, I get to share some of my views on what it means to be healthy and resilient, and how to get there.
I will be highlighting some of the foundational principles that underlie Qigong exercise, and share my personal experience of Qigong, how it has been benefiting me directly, as well as my patients in my oriental medicine practice.
If you are a body work practitioner, a movement specialist, an alternative or conventional doctor, or simply obsessed with health and functional strength, this talk will give you some fresh perspective.
Looking forward to you being part of this experience!

I am very excited to be invited
once again to participate in the awesome Shanti Festival, this time over a weekend in beautiful Muldersvlei in Paarl just outside of Cape Town.

Winter is clearly still here with its nippy cold mornings. I am blessed to continue to host my Thursday 7am morning Qi Gong sessions from inside the beautiful L***a Theatre in town. This iconic venue adds to the traditional feel of this time-tested practice, where you learn to access progressively more of your mind and body's potential, becoming calmer, stronger, healthier and happier as you go.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Move to Medi-Spa (Thursdays)

At the beginning of this year I relocated from the Gardens practice of House of Holistic Health to just one block up the road to the Cape Town Medi-Spa , 99 Kloof St. It’s a true gem tucked away on the side of Kloof Street, with a wonderfully welcoming and diverse group of therapists and staff. With very easy access to off-street parking at the Mt. Nelson Hotel, and an awe-inspiring ancient sacred fig tree to settle your mind, this new venue has added so much value to my once-a-week stint on Thursdays in town for both patients and myself. Bookings are still via my WhatsApp practice number +27 66 490 4382

甲辰年快樂
HAPPY WOOD/TREE DRAGON YEAR

As mixed as this ‘forecast’ of fortunes below may seem, it is a useful prompt to step back from ourselves and not be too readily sucked in to following through on impulsive decisions that will potentially feed into inauspicious outcomes.

Temper your inner dragon to effectively belch fire and brimstone, and avoid any internal neurosis that may otherwise result.

名人不用細說
響鼓不用重捶

A person of good sense needs no detailed explanation;
A resonant drum needs no heavy beating.

I wish you the greatest success during what will surely be a very dynamic year!
