Restorative Qigong Teacher and Acupuncturist.

Steve Thomas B.A. (Hons), Lic.Ac, FATMS, AHPRA. WTQA.

Steve Thomas first came across both Tai chi qigong and acupuncture in 1987 when studying a Psychology and Philosophy degree in the UK. The effects of both were life changing, so much so, that after graduating from the degree course in 1990, he went on to study Acupuncture and qualified in 1994. 

Qigong, one of the seven branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has been a life long practice.

Steve has been fortunate to learn from many teachers over the years and still trains yearly with Master Simon Blow.

Steve has taught many classes and workshops in the UK and in Australia and currently teaches three private classes in Hobart. He has also taught public classes for the Tasmanian Cancer Council and St Luke's Health. He has written a book on qigong and is now working towards publishing it.

He is a board certified Chinese Medicine practitioner with general registration as an Acupuncturist, with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and is also a Fellow of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society. (FATMS). He is a member of Wushu Tai Chi and Qigong Australia (WTQA) registered in the individual instructor category.

He has been practicing acupuncture for 32 years and qigong for over 36 years.
