Discover Body and Mind Healing Wellness
Experience and Professionalism
Hi all, and welcome to Chiang Mai. Please let me introduce myself; my name is Rod from the UK. I have been interested in the holistic fields since the 1980s, and this is where my journey began: to improve my life and health, which, in turn, led me to learn to help others in their search for improving their lives and healing themselves.
As you can see, I have been busy learning many different ways of balancing and healing body and mind. It has been a lot of fun, hard work and sacrifice, though the rewards for my efforts have paid off tremendously, especially for improving my overall quality of life and allowing me to tune into my natural teaching and healing abilities.
My loving wife and I opened Body and Mind Healing in Chiang Mai, Thailand, nearly 20 years ago so that we could offer alternative ways of healing.
Through the holistic approach, our success has much to do with our wonderful students and friends who came in search of something new to help them in their journey in their lives.
Traditional Tai Chi & Qigong Lineage
"Rod has been studying Chinese holistic arts since 1993, Qigong since 1995, and Wudang Tai Chi Chuan since 2000."
"He completed rigorous internal arts training under 3-time Tai Chi World Champion Sufi Michael Jacques and legendary Tai Chi Master Sifu Dan Docherty in London."
"Certified as a Qigong and Tai Chi instructor in 2002 and again in 2009, Rod teaches authentic Qigong healing methods, Tai Chi hand forms, weaponry, and Tai Chi Nei Kung with a strict focus on correct physical alignment and precision for developing high-quality skill."
Authentic Indian Yoga & Kriya Meditation
"Beginning his journey in 1995 with the spiritual teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, Rod has practiced Kriya Yoga meditation daily for over three decades."
"To deepen his physical practice, he completed nearly 1,000 hours of formal teacher training. He studied intensively for 3 months at the Parmarth Niketan Ashram in Rishikesh, India, under Karen O'Bannon (Iyengar Yoga), alongside world-renowned masters like Richard Freeman and John Scott."
"He had the privilege to study Mantra (Nada Yoga) and Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) while living in the ashram in India with Mataji (Sadhvi Abha Saraswati), a well-known teacher in Rishikesh, India."
Traditional Usui Reiki & Taoist Inner Alchemy
"While living in India, Rod trained in the Usui Shiki Reiki healing system at the Reiki Training Institute India.
As a highly experienced 5th-generation Reiki Master, he has personally empowered over 900 international students since 2007 at Body and Mind Healing.
Additionally, Rod studied Taoist Inner Alchemy directly under Grandmaster Mantak Chia in London at the London Tao Center, teaching these advanced vitality practices for nearly two decades."
