BACKGROUND

Born in Singapore and educated in the UK, I grew up with a wealth of both Eastern and Western cultural influences. In 1987, I qualified as an instructor of (Japanese) Wado-ryu karate and (Chinese) Yang style Tai Chi Chuàn. In 1992, I qualified as an Iyengar yoga teacher (Indian), and have run martial arts, yoga and meditation retreats in the forest of Monchique, before becoming Wellness Director at AlmaVerde in 2006.
