Ian’s dedication to the healing arts is the result of many years of immersive study, hands-on training, and deep personal commitment. He spent over a decade in India, where he refined his understanding of traditional wellness systems through the disciplined practice and teaching of Kaula Yoga. His training encompassed not only postural work (asana), but also breath regulation (pranayama), yogic philosophy, massage, and Ayurvedic lifestyle principles, all of which continue to inform his therapeutic approach.

He went on to formalize his studies in Ayurvedic detoxification therapies, earning a diploma in Panchakarma from the Athreya School of Ayurveda. Seeking to broaden his manual therapy skills, Ian also pursued intensive training in Traditional Thai Massage, receiving certification from the renowned and Cheat Wan institutions at Wat Po Temple in Thailand.

With a strong foundation in traditional systems of medicine and bodywork, Ian eventually turned his focus to Chinese Medicine, studying Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal medicine at Dragon Rises College of Oriental Medicine. Now integrating more than ten years of experience in holistic healing with the diagnostic clarity and clinical effectiveness of East Asian medical practices, Ian offers a grounded and skillful approach to supporting patients on their journey toward health and balance.
