He has been in practice since 1998, always with a focus on the combination of gentle manual therapies and subtle Japanese acupuncture styles. He started his study of Sōtai with Stephen Brown in 1999 and has gone on to study extensively with Jeffrey Dann and Peter Thompson. His approach to Sōtai is influenced by the brilliant insights of Milton Trager, MD, Moshe Feldenkrais, Ph.D., F.M. Alexander, Buckminster Fuller, and Zhang Jia Hua. The quest of moving Sōtai in an ever-gentler direction is what motivates his continuing research and investigations.
