JEREMY COLLEDGE
MEDICAL QIGONG THERAPY

Jeremy is an escapee from the City, who accumulated all the negative habits which accompany that lifestyle - late nights, alcohol, and cigarettes, all leading to STRESS and poor health! He says:
12 years ago I came across Chen Man Chings Short form Tai-chi. I found the classes extremely helpful and enjoyable - they triggered my interest in and love of eastern arts. The black bags under my eyes started to go, I became less susceptible to colds and flu, and my energy levels soared. My background reading into Tai-chi forms helped me to discover and thus begin my in-depth study of Qigong. I began to understand that the Qigong energy system was the key to all eastern healing methods. It was this process that led to my great escape, as I realised that having healed myself, I wanted to teach and heal others. I was trained by the International Institute of Medical Qigong as a practitioner, and in due course will become a Doctor of Medical Qigong.
I had the privilege of studying Qigong and Tai-chi sword form with Grand Master Chen. I am also a student of Master Lams, studying Tai-chi and Zhan Zhuang (Pronounced Jam Jong)

Jeremy is currently specializing in treating cancer patients.
