Rex has kept himself busy over
the last thirty years applying
his skills and insights in the
fields of Holistic Health and Oriental
Medicine. He originally trained
and qualified as an osteopath in
the mid 70s before going on to
study Acupuncture and Homeopathy
with Professor Malcolm Stemp, Newton
Abbott (UK). His main and long-lasting
occupation is Shiatsu, a form of
finger pressure massage based on
the acupuncture meridians (See
Therapies for more information
about Shiatsu). He is a recognized
practitioner and teacher of Shiatsu.
Rex pioneered the teaching of
Shiatsu in the UK in the late 1970’s
and has now taught over 9,000 hours
of Shiatsu to students and practitioners
in Europe, North America and the
Caribbean. He continues to teach
Shiatsu and maintains a Shiatsu
practice in West London.
In the mid eighties, Rex combined
a wealth of insights from his work
as a Shiatsu practitioner with
his deep understanding of the Oriental
Five Element Theory and Nine Star
Ki Astrology into a unique system
of understanding “that time
has another dimension beyond measurement”.
Time carries qualities and these
are discernible and have an on
going influence on us. Rex refers
to this system as “Grasshopping,” and
has helped many of his clients
to discover skilful ways of handling
life’s challenges along with
controlling emotional outbursts
and, on a deeper level, to understand
why they are driven, to do what
they do. His first book “Grasshopping
Through Time’ was published
in 1999, and his second book will
be released in 2007.
Rex's continuous commitment to
Zen practice and the understanding
and insight gained through such
practice infuse his classes and
private sessions with a deep listening
to what is really present.
As well as writing, teaching and
treating clients, Rex is often
invited to speak at conferences,
seminars and social gatherings.
