An accomplished teacher, Julia has been training students in Tui Na for fifteen consecutive years.

Our Tui na Tutors are:

Alex Brazkiewicz, who was introduced to Shiatsu through his martial arts training over 30 years ago and has been practising bodywork and Japanese martial arts ever since. He gained his degree in Traditional Acupuncture at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine in Reading after which he volunteered at the NHS Gateway clinic in South London.

​

Alex’s passion for Tui Na resulted in his studying extensively in China, including undertaking regular month-long study trips to Beijing to study Channel Palpation and Applied Channel Theory under Professor Wang Ju Yi. After his last trip in 2013 he returned to complete a 5 year degree in Osteopathy. Alex practices in Malvern where he integrates Chinese and Western Orthopaedic Medicine in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.

James Woodward, an experienced body worker who was introduced to Chinese medicine while training as an holistic therapist at Canterbury college completing a VTCT Diploma in 2009. This included Swedish massage, reflexology and aromatherapy. Aromatherapy blended acupressure with the massage.

​

James volunteered for the NHS practicing reiki in the Supportive Therapies Unit Canterbury for cancer where his curiosity for acupuncture lead to training at The City College of Acupuncture London graduating in 2017. James continued his training at CCA in Tui Na in 2019.

He runs his own clinic, The Tranquility Space, in Herne Bay and has been working in the acupuncture student clinic as a clinical assistant since 2018.
