Contributions to Books
"The Health and Fitness
Handbook" - Windward, 1981 "The Encyclopaedia of Complementary
Health" - Hamlyn, 1996
I was born in 1953 and
raised in Mombasa , Kenya and attended boarding school in the U.K. from the age of 9. Aged 17 in 1970 I joined four
others on an expedition to Spitzbergen in the Arctic . On my return to school in September 1970, I was
restless to see the world and to follow the Tao. I could not find the answers
within the British education system and decided that I would prefer to go
around the world.
I made a life-changing
decision in September 1970; to abandon my studies and see the world. I took off
on my own with £9, my passport, a rucksack, sleeping bag, a tent and
some dehydrated expedition rations. During the next 6 years I travelled through
some 52 countries and was inspired by two books, namely the Tao Te Ching and
the I Ching.
In 1976 I returned to the U.K. , discovered meditation and macrobiotics. In 1977 I
enrolled as a student at the East West Centre in London where I studied Feng Shui Astrology (9 Star Ki) with
Michio Kushi, Macrobiotics, Oriental Diagnosis, Yin & Yang, the 5 Elements,
Acupressure and Shiatsu.
From 1981 - 1994 I taught
many of these subjects at the East West Centre in London , later becoming the Director of Education and was
made an Associate Teacher by Michio Kushi in 1983. In the early 1980's I helped set
up the Shiatsu Society and taught 9 Star Ki, Oriental Diagnosis, Shiatsu and
Macrobiotics throughout Europe.
Since 1994 I have committed
myself to studying Feng Shui, Feng Shui Astrology and writing books. Since 1997
I have published 8 books on Feng Shui, Macrobiotics, Oriental Healing,
Acupressure and lately the I Ching. I founded the Macrobiotic Association in
1995 and joined the Feng Shui Society Committee at the same time. I chaired the
Feng Shui Society from 1998 - 2002 and continue to advise the Executive
Committee.
I have taught Feng Shui in
16 different countries over the past few years and have appeared on national
television and radio several times and have had numerous newspaper and magazine
articles printed..
I am deeply committed to
continuing my research and study into Feng Shui and all the related
disciplines. There is an interconnection between all these systems as they are
based on Yin & Yang, the I Ching and the 5 Elements.
I am blessed with 7
wonderful children born between 1980 and 2000 and one grandson who continue to inspire me day by
day.
My dream is to use my
knowledge and experience to make a difference in people's lives. I believe very
strongly in the power of individual and collective responsibility in the domain
of health and well being. I believe that we can use these traditional principles
and adapt them to contemporary times to help navigate us through what looks
like a possible difficult and uncertain future for the planet, its ecology, its
people, their health and their spirit.
