Hi, my name is Bob Chiang. I enjoy working with people to help them move forward in life, finding a positive direction.
Training and experience
Hypnotherapy – I am a fully trained and qualified hypnotherapist and hold a Diploma in Hypnotherapy (DipHyp) from the United Kingdom Hypnotherapy Training College (UKHTC).
Neuro-linguistic programming – I am a trained NLP coach having studied under Robbie Steinhouse.
Massage therapy – I am passionate about body work and I am a Deep Tissue massage therapist, my enthusiasm for bodywork began at a young age. I learned from my mother, a skilled massage therapist who incorporated Tui Na, accupunctyre, cupping and aromatherapy into her practice. Inspired by this early experience, I pursued formal training at the Academy of Natural Health in London, earning qualifications in Holistic and Classical Swedish massage in 2000. My journey in bodywork has been enriched by continuous learning and exploration. I expanded my expertise through courses in Shiatsu, accupressure, lymphatic drainage, and trigger point therapy, and I trained with a variety of practitioners, including Teresa Chilton, specialising in deep tissue and advanced massage techqniques. A pivotal moment in my career was my training in myofascial release with Art Riggs, which profoundly influenced my approach to bodywork.
In my treatments, I intuitively connect with each client’s body, focusing on areas of tension, realigning the body, and promoting deep relaxation. I employ a personalised blend of techniques to restore calm and balance to both body and mind, ensuring a holistic and unique experience.
Tai Chi – I am a qualified Tai Chi instructor (with the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain), my main teacher is Marnix Wells who trained with Wang Shu Jin and Hung I Mein. I teach the Yang style Tai Chi short form
Mindfulness – I started Meditation learning Zen and in the Western Mystery tradition. Later trained under Shinzen Young, author of The Science of Enlightenment. I currently teach his Unified Mindfulness system and you can visit my Mindfulness website here.
End of Life Doula – I am an End of Life Doula, guiding and supporting individuals nearing the end of their lives and their families with dignity and grace. My passion lies in integrating mindfulness practices to help those at the end of life explore the transition they are going through, finding peace, gratitude, and light in their remaining time. I am a member of End of Life Doula UK.
