Through my various martial arts studies I have been exposed to many healing modalities and massage methods which were a critical part of my instructor training certification. As Sifu used to say, “To be good at the art of hurting, you must be great at the art of healing.” – Sifu Lim Wu Yun
Over the years I have been very fortunate to train and learn from some of whom I deem to be the very best in their fields from Personal Protection & Safety, Martial Arts, Military Special Forces, Law Enforcement, Security, Fitness, Personal Development, and Wellness. But in all honesty my greatest teachers have been my clients. Their continued feed-back and support has been invaluable to my personal and professional growth. So to all my past and current clients (friends) thank you deeply for sharing this journey with me.
