About me

How I started

My interest in oriental philosophy started when I came across a copy of the Tao Teh Ching, when I was in high school. Later after a year of Naturopathy I realised I was much more interested in Chinese Medicine.

I started acupuncture practice in Australia after graduating with a degree in Chinese Medicine from Victoria University (Melbourne). I was drawn to a classical way of understanding that has been brought to us from the past by Ikeda Sensei. Since then I have been on a gradual learning curve, for more than 20 years working full time here in New Zealand,  honing my craft and studying in an effort to understand and be able to dispense this ancient art. I have traveled to Japan on eight occasions to deepen my knowledge and have had the privilege to study with many great teachers, namely Masakazu Ikeda, my sensei.
