“My career—and my personal search for deeper knowledge in natural therapies—began in 1992 with studies in Acupuncture. I learned many powerful techniques and embraced the richness of its theory. But something in me kept searching…I was looking for a more profound understanding of how we restore balance and vitality.

That answer came when I discovered Applied Physiology. For me, it is the crown jewel of the wellness and mind-body modalities.

Back in 1998, I attended an Applied Physiology Masterclass in Anatomy and Physiology, and it completely shifted my direction. I knew then that I had to study directly with Richard Utt, the American founder of Applied Physiology. That decision took me to the USA—and changed my life.

In time, I became an International Facilitator and Teacher/Trainer in Applied Physiology, and I’ve never looked back.

After Richard’s passing in 2012 following a long illness, I made a quiet commitment to honour his legacy and ensure this profound work would continue to thrive. Richard was a creative genius, and it’s now my joy and responsibility to pass on what I’ve learned—doing my best to inspire, just as he and many other mentors inspired me.

I’ve taught in Moscow, Ukraine, Mumbai, and across Australia—including Sydney, Adelaide, southeast Queensland, and beautiful Casuarina, NSW. I look forward to welcoming you to this transformative work—wherever you are on your journey.”

Now, at 68 years old, as I reflect on the journey of IIAP—its growth, the incredible global network of members, countries, and teachers—I’m filled with immense pride and satisfaction. To witness how far we’ve come and to see so many others embracing this transformative work is truly fulfilling. The success of IIAP is a direct reflection of the dedication, passion, and commitment of each individual involved, and I feel deeply pleased to be part of it all.”
