“I have been a student of Jackie for many years. During this time Jackie has continued to develop his own knowledge of Bruce Frantzis’s Energy Arts System of Tai Chi and Qigong, which he generously shares.
His workshops are enjoyable and sociable, and I always learn a way to improve my own practice.
Jackie has a relaxed teaching style and is able to convey complex ideas and movements in a down-to-earth, practical and understandable fashion.

Under his guidance, I have developed a genuine practice that has helped me to enjoy a vibrant and healthy life, despite being in my late 60’s. If you are seeking to learn authentic Tai Chi and Qigong practice, look no further!“

“Practising Qigong with Jackie since 2020 has been a true game-changer for me. With his guidance, I’ve gained greater holistic balance and a new awareness of my body and its energy flow. I’ve learned to recognise and release blocks in my system, like neck and shoulder tension, so I am better able to care for my own wellness.

Jackie’s deep knowledge, built through 30+ years of dedicated training and practice, shines through in every session. He has a relaxed, down-to-earth attitude and a great sense of humour that make his classes welcoming and fun. The loyalty of students who’ve been with him for decades says everything—in a world of fads and quick-fixes, Jackie is the real deal and an inspiring, genuine teacher.“

“I have attended Jackie’s classes in Fife for twenty years.  Throughout that time, he has proven to be an excellent teacher of Qigong. He is very patient, always encouraging and helps individuals develop at their own pace using his great sense of humour. Jackie has a thorough understanding of how the body works and advises those with mechanical problems on how best to manage the moves. It is always a pleasure to work with someone who has such enthusiasm for their subject, and Jackie has that in spades.“
