My Focus

Over the years I have learnt a very important lesson with regards to health and that is…..

“You can’t help everyone!”

I therefore focus on a particular kind of person who in actual fact has many of the same issues that I once had.  This allows me to provide my clients with my first hand knowledge, experience and dedicated service that will help them achieve their health and wellbeing goals and create a perfect “win/win” situation for the both of us!

My typical clients are therefore:

Busy and overworked professionals that may experience one or more of the following:

• Frequent international or domestic travel, time zones changes and culture shocks
• Long working hours coupled with unexpected challenges, situations and job tasks
• Troubles with balancing family, work and socials commitments (including commitments to yourself!)
• Stress, tension and lack of relaxation or support
• Excess weight gain or loss
• Lack of motivation to exercise
• Difficulties in finding or cooking fresh, healthy food (perhaps vegetarian or vegan)
• Difficulties in understanding how to shop healthily (especially in a Chinese supermarket!)
• Tiredness, Lack of energy with an inability to focus
• Sleep problems
• Mood swings, emotional difficulties, depression and pessimism
• Worry, anxiety and paranoia with occasional/regular heart palpitations
• Breathing and respiratory related symptoms (usually due to excess smoking)
• Addiction to  alcohol/coffee and/or other substances (cigarettes/drugs etc)
• Food cravings (e.g – sugar)
• Unbalanced and fluctuating blood sugar levels
• Frequent headaches and migraines
• Mouth ulcers and tooth pain
• Muscular pain such as in the shoulders, back and spine
• Joint pain or discomfort
• Digestive discomfort and problems with the digestive system (frequent bowel issues, indigestion, nausea, bloating, bleeding, diarrhea, constipation, Candida, IBS)
• Food sensitivities (e.g – gluten intolerance/celiac disease) and/or severe allergic reactions
• Skin irritations and conditions (infections, rashes, acne etc)
• Uncomfortable pains and problems with the Urinary system
• Genital discomfort and STDs

If you can relate to having any of the above, don’t worry.

They are unfortunately normal and very common symptoms of 21st century lifestyles.

Now we have looked at the problems why don’t we FOCUS on the SOLUTIONS?  Click here to find out how I can HELP you.

My Approach

“I believe in a holistic and integrative approach to health and well-being”

I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.

My approach applies more attention and awareness to prevention rather than cure through healthy lifestyle choices such as good diet and regular exercise.  I value and promote the principles of integrative medicine and nutrition, bridging the gap between conventional and modern ways of diagnosing and treating illness and disease with ancient philosophies, natural techniques and healing modalities such as those found in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

“My aim is to bring individuals into harmony with their inner and outer environments to foster both health and healing.”

My approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create lists of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, I work with my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding.

Together we’ll work to reach your health goals in areas such as achieving optimal weight, reducing food cravings, increasing sleep, and maximizing energy. As we work together, you’ll develop a deeper understanding of the food and lifestyle choices that work best for you and implement lasting changes that will improve your energy, balance and health.

Here are some concepts that we will explore during our work together:

Bio-individuality™: The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person’s food is another person’s poison, and that’s why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, I’ll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background. I use a personalized, holistic approach to ensure that you will have great success!

Primary Food™: It’s easy to overlook all of the things that contribute to our sense of nourishment and fulfillment. It’s not just the food we eat, but all of the other factors present in our daily lives. Healthy relationships, a fulfilling career, regular physical activity and a spiritual awareness are essential forms of nourishment. When these “primary foods” are balanced, what you eat becomes secondary. I will support you in achieving all of your goals, from eating the right foods for your body to living an inspired, fulfilling life.

Integrative Nutrition™ Plate: The Integrative Nutrition Plate emphasizes the importance of local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. It shows you how a plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, the plate is surrounded with lifestyle factors that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality. I’ll introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what’s healthiest for your unique body!

My Story

Throughout my childhood and teenage years I experienced many bodily dysfunctions such as regular and painful ear infections, multiple mouth ulcers, terrible acne and continual digestive problems.  As I became an adult, working hard and worrying for the sake of earning more money and reputation, I experienced frequent stress, mood swings and severe anger issues, coupled with sweet food addictions and frequent substance abuse (in particular smoking).

I remember one terrible accident I had in Japan where I broke my front tooth completely in half.  As I lay down on the floor looking up at the ceiling I knew that it was time to make a change.  I no longer liked what I had made myself become and so from that day onwards I embarked on a swift learning curve to focus on what my heart wanted and what my heart enjoyed. Through discomfort came investigation, experimentation, listening and learning, writing and reading and feeling. To sum it all up it comes down to one thing…….

“Health is Wealth!”

So simple but so true.  It doesn’t matter how many ferraris, houses, girlfriends and investment portfolios you have.  If you haven’t got your health then everything else just melts! Now actually, I wrote a song about all of the above, and I think it sums up my story pretty well at that time and shows my clear conscious effort to make the choices and movement to the career that I find myself in today.  It’s titled “Challenge Me” because let’s face it, life is a challenge, one in which becomes “good” or “bad” depending on how you choose to perceive it!  Perhaps one day I’ll upload an audio recording of it, but I don’t want to scare you away too quickly!

So, now that I have a wife and a little bay boy to take care of, I realize that being fit and healthy is the most natural and fulfilling way to experience life in its fullest and greatest abundance.  Nutrition is a key essential ingredient in achieving this goal.  Unfortunately the world today is very sick, partially due to an inadequate food system and a worrying lack of awareness and understanding as to what is actually “healthy”.  There is a worldwide proliferation of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease and with the type of lifestyle that most people now live, stress and unhappiness only exacerbates the situation.

The UPS and DOWNS…..

Sadly, both my dear grandmothers passed away with bowel cancer having never met my child and their new grandson. I can never change that.  My son will never know what lovely people they were. Only through the stories that I tell him.  Unfortunately I hear too many stories about people dying with bowel cancer due to dysfunctional digestive systems.   The bowels are the engine room to nutritional victory or defeat.  We must become much more aware of our intuitive needs and in tune with what our own unique bodies need in terms of nourishment and energetic success.

My two grandmothers were and always will be my inspiration and drive to help improve other people’s lives through better nutrition and digestive care.  One of my grandmothers taught me so much about good, healthy, wholesome cooking and ate only the most nutritious foods that she could find. But, her life was full of emotional torment, arguments and family upheaval.  My other grandmother on the other hand, gave me real insight into how to live happily and contently in service and in love to others, but she had a terrible diet and ate all the worst foods possible!  Different lives, different choices but the same eventual outcome.

So what does this say?  In my opinions it says that real health and wellbeing is not just about what we choose to eat  but how we choose to react and behave to life’s many ups and downs. All the statistically major diseases today are scientifically proven to be “lifestyle related illnesses”.  This allows us to take OUR HEALTH back into OUR OWN HANDS my making more informed and healthier decisions as to what we put into our body and how we go about making our daily choices, whether it be what we eat or how we choose to react or behave to certain situations.

Now although I was born and raised in the West, I have always been fascinated by the ways of the East, especially Eastern mysticism and Eastern medical philosophies.  I have been fortunate enough to have spent many years in both Japan, India and China and my beliefs and perceptions of life have been greatly influenced by these cultures.

I have learnt and practiced many ancient and alternative healing modalities and have conducted research on the interpretation and analysis of energy fields and in particular those surrounding the human body known as the “biofield” I have a carried out many personal experiments with different types of food and ways of eating, cleansing and living and each time I have learnt something new and valuable.

You see, I have come to realize that Health is ease of flow vs dis-ease. like a flowing river it is always changing, always fluctuating, always moving to a new point of balance.  Good health is about prevention rather than cure and most importantly health and life (as a whole) is about empowerment.  As a Health Coach, I empower people to find their own way, their own unique answers to the health and wellbeing problems, concerns and goals that they and their lives have manifested for themselves.

The science (if you need it!) is there.  Your own unique plan to eat healthily and rebalance some of your lifestyle habits is researched, ready and available.  All you have to so now is make a choice, give it a go and see what happens!

About Me

“Being healthy is all about maintaining your balance as you surf the ever changing waves of life”

Originally from Bath in England, I have been living, working and studying in Asia for the last several years, notably in India, Japan and South China. I am currently based in Zhuhai City (close to Hong Kong and Macau) with my Japanese wife, Miwako, and our baby son, Zachariah.

Having set up and run various companies (some of which succeeded and some of which failed!) I decided several years ago to follow my heart and move back into my favourite fields of science, medicine, technology and education. Having previously graduated with a B.Sc. (Hons) in Genetics and Management from the University of Liverpool (UK) I went onto attain a B.Sc and M.Sc. in Metaphysical Sciences from UMS, California (USA).

In 2011 I completed my Masters Thesis on the Interpretation and Analysis of Human Energy Fieldsand set up www.ChinaBiofield.com in 2012 – a dedicated English language web platform that aims to provide China expats with realiable and trusted health and wellbeing information, products and services. I received my training as a Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition’s cutting-edge Health Coach Training Program.

During my course, I studied over 100 dietary theories, practical lifestyle management techniques, and innovative coaching methods with some of the world’s top health and wellness experts. My teachers included Dr. Andrew Weil, Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine; Dr. Deepak Chopra, leader in the field of mind-body medicine; Dr. David Katz, Director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center; Dr. Walter Willett, Chair of Nutrition at Harvard University; Geneen Roth, bestselling author and expert on emotional eating; and many other leading researchers and nutrition authorities.

My education has equipped me with extensive knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and preventive health. Drawing on these skills and my knowledge of different dietary theories, I work with clients to help them make lifestyle changes that produce real and lasting results.

But…..what about the REAL me?

I am a friendly, energetic, imaginative person with an infectious enthusiasm for life. I  have a wide variety of interests from sports and philosophy to cooking and playjng guitar. I am responsible, conscientious and passionate about serving others and  I always strive to create a supportive, harmonious and collaborative atmosphere, where everyone’s opinions are considered. I value diversity and am always accepting of different viewpoints and beliefs.

I am always excited about possibilities for positive development, and have a talent for creating innovative solutions to problems facing people.  I am driven to help others enhance their lives and realize their potential. I appreciate everyone’s unique contribution to the world, always taking care to treat others with dignity and respect.

Good or bad I am a risk-taker, excited by the unknown and able to adapt easily to dynamic environments.  I guess that’s why I now live in China! I really enjoy getting to know people and meeting new friends and I am constantly searching for new ideas and always looking for the next adventure.
