My student days were always science orientated and resulted in a Chemistry Degree from the University of London. I used this knowledge and entered the manufacturing world of printed circuit boards and became Technical Manager at GEC Marconi Research. Following an early mid-life crisis (aged
35) I left Marconi and pursued a wide variety of options, including market research, working for my local Wildlife Trust and
finally into the world of horse insurance. This fitted more closely with my lifelong love of horses. I
have owned horses for the past 25 years and currently own three; a 14 year old homebred ID x TB who loves
hunting with the local bloodhounds; an 11 year old ISH for all types of riding club activities and affilliated dressage;
and the most recent addition is a yearling of unknown Dutch origin. In 2001 I discovered someone practicing shiatsu on horses and felt that I needed to know more about it, so I started a course at the British School of Shiatsu-Do in Colchester and became hooked – I now have a very hard earned diploma, following over 3 years of studies, 500 hours of tuition and approximately 250 supervised practice treatments. I run my own business based at home in Boxted, Colchester. I combine my love of horses and shiatsu by helping riders gain better balance and understanding of their horses. Over the past year I have actively been promoting shiatsu in the North Essex
and Suffolk area with a group of shiatsu practitioners called SANESA (Suffolk and North Essex Shiatsu Association).
We run practitioner workshops and occassionally have trade-stands at a number of shows and exhibitions. Since December 2008 I have been teaching Equine Shiatsu. Originally this was for the Equine Shiatsu and Horsecare Academy in Northampton and I will shortly start my own school (The Equipoise School of Shiatsu) in the Colchester area.
