Your teacher
Hi there,I am teaching something Japanese;Japanese calligraphy, Japanese Needle Therapy and Japanese Massage and more!I started practicing Shuji Japanese calligraphy 40 years ago as it is compulsory in primary education which teaches children how to write Japanese words properly and neatly. At high school, I loved Shodo (way of drawing with a brush and ink) and was good at Shodo but my other talent (athletics) stopped me to pursue the way of Shodo. In 2009, I resumed my Shodo journey and finally got a teaching qualification of artistic Shodo which allows you to express your insights and emotions (rather than Shuji educational shodo). Beside Shodo, I have been practising Japanese style acupuncture and traditional Japanese massage since 1995. Establishing a popular clinic in Sydney in 2004, now I live in Melbourne to provide Japanese style gentle yet energetic acupuncture and massage treatments as well as teaching Japanese Needle Therapy and Japanese Massage in The Block Arcade since 2013.I have successfully organised Meetup groups and taught my classes and courses to Australian and international participants. They enjoy my teaching way while I am happy to add Japanese essence into their lives.I hope you also enjoy the Japanese witch's teaching to have life-changing experiences!
