What did you do before becoming a Tuina practitioner?
Before Tuina I was a teacher. I started practicing Shiatsu after attending a Shiatsu college here in London, I then tried holistic massage and afterwards I found the Touch Tuina clinic, which is when I started practicing Tuina.
What inspired you to become involved with Tuina?
It was like a natural connection, I’d been practicing Martial Arts and my teacher was using Tuina in his clinic, however he wasn’t teaching it, so I found Errol’s Student to Master program and signed up.
How long did it take to train? How long have you been a practitioner?
Two years, starting with the fundamentals and then the advanced. I finished the advanced course in December last year so have been practicing fully since about January this year.
What do you like about working with Errol & Mariana?
They’re very down to earth people, very knowledgeable and they create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone can be themselves. They bring out the best in people.
What types of clients do you treat?
There’s no specific group of people I treat, it’s everyone.
Why do you think everyone should try a Tuina treatment?
Because it’s a holistic treatment that can be addressed to anyone’s needs, and everyone will find something that will help their body. It follows the energy channels in the individual, so a sportsperson will have a different type of treatment to an elderly person, or someone with injuries, and so on. It’s really good for everyone, even children.
Are there specific treatment areas you specialise in?
I don’t have a specialised area as such yet because I’m quite new to it, so I’m currently making my way. An area that particularly interests me is helping pregnant women, so that’s something I’ll be looking into more.
Do you have any favourite success stories with clients?
I don’t have a specific story but in my mind, a treatment is successful when the client feels much better after the treatment, they feel improved in the issue they came to treat. When I’m able to pinpoint the issue and find a way to rebalance them, that’s a real success!
