About Dan

About Dan
I’m passionate about East Asian movement and healing arts—from Qigong, Tai Chi, Bagua Zhang and Kung Fu to acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.

I originally trained in Fine Art, completing my BA in 2004, before my long-standing interests in natural science and martial arts led me towards a career in East Asian medicine.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Acupuncture and an MSc (Hons) in Chinese Herbal Medicine from the University of Westminster, and have worked as an acupuncturist, Chinese herbalist and Tui Na practitioner since 2010. Along the way, I have spent many years teaching and supervising acupuncture and Qigong students. I’m now a faculty member at ICOM, the International College of Oriental Medicine.
I’ve taught Qigong for over 18 years, and there’s always something new to explore. Learning from many teachers has helped me develop an open, evolving approach that brings traditional methods together with a modern understanding of anatomy, movement and health. I like to make room for curiosity, playfulness.
Qigong has deep roots in Daoist and Buddhist traditions and folk practices. Although I’m not a religious practitioner, I aim to honour these folk foundations while making what I teach accessible to people from all backgrounds.
Through Sun & Moon Qigong and Acupuncture, I hope to create a welcoming community where we can learn, explore and practise together. I remain a student myself, continuing to develop my work through study, reflection and time spent putting things into practice.
Outside the clinic and classroom, you’ll often find me cycling, playing music, walking in nature or find other ways of exploring creativity, rhythm and balance.
