His expert advice and ability to quickly put others at ease were a real positive, as was the quality of the treatments he provided."   Peter Barnes, Vice Principal, Kingsthorpe College

"Blessed shiatsu, it is simply the best remedy ever - in the right hands!"  Diane W.

"There is a lot of teaching in the classes - a lot of expertise and knowledge which Mark shares unobtrusively with the class.  There is an excellent melding together of the practice and of the ineffable ideas and way of life which underpin it.  Mark is able to teach movement and posture in a very encouraging way and provides a very good place to do Qigong."   Alan, Bath Qigong class

"Just beautiful - I left Friday's class feeling deeply moved and deeply met. Thank you."  Fionnuala, Bath Qigong class

"I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying the classes. I find your approach so helpful  with just the right balance between fun and challenge. It allows me to engage with it as mindful movement, a moving meditation which is just what I have been looking for, so thank you."   Ali, Qigong student
