James Beavis
I am an Acupuncturist, a Tui Na medical bodywork practitioner, and a Tai Chi & Qigong teacher and I am passionate about health & well-being.
It is my mission to give as many people as I can, access to the health benefits of the ancient art forms of tai chi, qigong, tui na & acupuncture.
I have used tai chi & qigong to recover from my own debilitating back injuries and chronic fatigue, and I now enjoy the privileged position of using the skills and techniques I've learned to help people recover from their own chronic illness and injury.
I enjoy being able to give my students and patients the treatment, support and skills to enhance their health and watching that happen.
Seeing peoples posture change, the fluidity of their movement develop and a greater sense of relaxation & well-being develop as they learn how to release their stress and tension is incredibly rewarding.
These are incredibly effective arts for health & healing, and I currently run an injury & chinese medicine clinic alongside my tai chi & qigong classes.
See the Acupuncture & Tui Na website for more details.

Acknowledgements
I am forever indebted to my friend and mentor Matt Berry, founder of West Wales Tai Chi & West Wales Acupuncture
I am incredibly lucky to have trained under such a dedicated and skilled practitioner of the art.
Matt has a depth of knowledge and comprehension of tai chi rarely encountered, and the even rarer ability to impart that understanding.
Thank you for your continued friendship, training, support and guidance. Thank you for helping me find my path, and giving me the courage to walk it. May it continue until we're 130 and beyond!
I am also immensely grateful for my fellow students, training under Matt's expert tutelage, and my own students & patients, past & present.
I wish you every health and happiness.
I also feel incredibly lucky to have trained and to be continuing my Chinese medicine training with Xian Tian College, for continued support of my very accomplished and knowledgeable teachers, and the continued support and encouragement of my fellow students.
