Minded Bodies

Experts tend to study either the body or the mind but, for me, all the interesting ‘stuff’ happens where these interact.

My fascination with the interaction between physiology and behaviour began over 40 years ago with academic research and evolved into a life-long study of how ‘minded bodies’ work.

Today, with the exciting emergence of systems biology, the previously incompatible approaches of reductionist science and holistic practice are beginning to integrate. There is still a long way to go before anyone (including scientists) fully understand how the body or mind work (let alone how they interact) but at least now the process of exploring ‘wholeness’ has begun.

I offer workshops in the UK and Europe, regular classes in East Anglia (UK), books, online courses, and one to one bodywork (Shiatsu) sessions in north Suffolk [see Events].
