\"\"My path has, right down it\u2019s center, visual art.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been an artist in New York City for 25 years and believe that learning and creativity \u2013 whatever form they take \u2013 nurture us to the core of our spirit.\u00a0 I use the power of imagery and metaphor in my practice and my teaching\u2026 It\u2019s the visual imagery of Tao practice that first drew me in and it continues to inspire me after 18 years.<\/p>\n

Alongside art, I\u2019ve always been drawn to explorations of spirit. In 1972, I happened on a lecture by Alan Watts that pretty much exploded my mind. \u00a0I continued to poke around Yoga and Buddhism through the 70s and 80s\u2014without much consistency or discipline\u2014but I would always find myself returning to it.<\/p>\n

In the mid-90s I fell in love with a rigorous martial art from Japan and trained in it for 18 years: Amagure no Sato Ryu Ninjutsu.\u00a0 I retired in 2013, but continue to depend on the discipline, clarity and focus it distilled in me.\u00a0 In 1999 I sought out other Tao practices to complement my martial training and began learning the Qigong, Neigong and Taiji of Universal Healing Tao.\u00a0 I found them so transformative that I\u2019ve been using them as my guide ever since.\u00a0 Most of all, they offer a lens through which I could view my life and the universe\u2026 in a way that embraces nature, spirit and our human heart.<\/p>\n

After many years learning these methods for myself, I expanded my practice first through teaching, then through energetic healing. I’m a Medical Qigong Therapist and Senior Instructor of Universal Healing Tao.\u00a0 In my current practice, healing and teaching are intertwined–I teach classes and courses in Qigong, Neigong and Ovarian Kung Fu alongside my one-on-one training and healing practice.<\/p>\n

When I met Universal Healing Tao in 2003, I felt a complete revolution in my life. Before that , I used to be a musician and a music teacher.\u00a0 I started practicing Healing Tao regularly because I could feel all the good benefits Qigong, Taiji and Meditation gave me. I gradually felt that something was changing in my life and I went to Tao garden to become a Universal Healing Tao Instructor in 2008. Since then, I’ve been teaching in Oyonnax a small town in the eastern part of France where I live.<\/p>\n

In 2011 I met Masahiro Ouchi during a workshop he gave in Vienna. I immediately enjoyed the way Masahiro talks about Healing Tao practices. He \u00a0opened another dimension for me and has had a big influence on my teaching and my own practice.\u00a0 I regularly attend Masahiro\u2019s seminars\u00a0 to continue to improve. Currently, I’m expanding my practice by learning Chi Nei Tsang abdominal massage with Masahiro.<\/p>\n
