Tamsin is a qualified Acupuncture and Tui Na therapist; she teaches preparation for Qi gong and is now also offering retreats in the UK and in Europe.
Tamsin qualified in Acupuncture with Xian Tian college in January 2023, and in Tui Na in early 2022. She ran a successful clinic in Bridport, Dorset, before moving to Indonesia to undertake full-time Chinese martial arts training, including Taiji. She has worked as an acupuncturist in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre, and also supported group therapy workshops there.
Tamsin first discovered Qi Gong whilst living in Japan in 2017, which she then started practicing regularly in London. She started training in Nei Gong in 2019, and started training in Taiji and other martial arts in 2023. Whilst living in Indonesia in 2024 she began teaching preparatory ‘body opening’ exercises, which pave the way for the deeper arts. She now teaches ‘moving meditation’ classes online and in Bridport. Tamsin is not an official qi gong or taiji teacher yet. Whilst having trained for quite a long time, she has not gone through an official teacher training process. However, she shares exercises that she has permission to ‘share from where she is at’. Many of the practices come from the Taiji Tao tradition, which comes from Taiwan, which combines qi gong and taiji, and is a relatively gentle and harmonising practice.
Tamsin’s main teachers have been Sophie Johnson, Damo Mitchell, Roni Edlund, Tyler Phan, Rob Aspell, Sarah Tulivu (Taiji Tao) and Benjamin Veal, to whom she holds enormous gratitude.
