Julia Oji graduated with a Diploma in Tui na from the London School of Chinese Massage Therapy in 1994, having completed her clinical training in Nanjing, China. She later went on to study acupuncture at the London College of Traditional Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and was awarded a Licentiate in Acupuncture.

​

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

​

“Having been a teacher of various disciplines all my working life (more than 20 years), combining this passion with my love of Chinese medicine has been a wonderfully enriching experience.

​

In private practice I see patients, of all ages, with a broad range of clinical conditions, combining Tui na and acupuncture in my treatments. However, over the past 10 years I have been particularly drawn to two phases of life: the beginning and the ending. I work a lot with women during their pregnancies, something that ties in with my role as a yoga teacher specializing in pre- and postnatal yoga. I also work with very elderly patients, conducting home and care home on-site treatment.”

Alex 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.
