Jeremy Marshall

I have been practicing Tai chi & Qi gong for over 28 years. I have also been working as a full time acupuncturist for 19 years.

When I was 17 my mum began studying essential oils and then Shiatsu. Slowly over the next few years I began to become more interested in oriental medicine and philosophy, as I received treatments from her and learnt about Shiatsu. By the time I was 22, I had begun to practice Qi gong from a book she had, and then soon after joined a Tai chi class. At that point I was hooked and I decided that I would study Chinese medicine and practice acupuncture one day.

When I was 28 I returned to University and began studying acupuncture.

Tai chi & Qi gong are methods for tuning in to the wisdom of the universe, and the wisdom of yourself. They are methods of cultivating yourself, understanding who you are and connecting to something more fundamental, beneath the busyness of the mind and its attatchments.
This process has been a profound experience for me and has provided many skills and abilities that translate directly into my acupuncture practice.

Biography

In 2004 I began studying for a BSc Honours degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture, and graduated in 2007 from the University of Westminster. I have been in continuous full time practice ever since, mostly in Sussex.

I began studying Wu style Tai ji Quan & Qi gong with Michael Acton in 2005.
Michael Acton is a disciple of Dr Li Li Qun a close disciple of grandmaster Ma Yeuh Liang and Wu Ying Hua, lineage holders of the Wu family Tai chi. Dr Li was also a high level Qi gong doctor from Shanghai.

With Michael Acton, I had finally found a true teacher. One that could demonstrate and pass on all the knowledge of Tai chi as a martial art as well as all the intricacies of Qi gong and meditation as methods of health preservation and self cultivation.

In 2012 I became a 6th generation Disciple of Wu family Tai chi, and have been teaching Tai chi & Qi gong in Sussex for the last 14 years.

Classical Chinese Medicine

Since 2012 I have been studying Classical Chinese Medicine through the teachings of Taoist priest and master Jeffery Yuen. These teachings have helped revolutionise the practice of Chinese medicine by restoring it to its Taoist roots. This means it becomes about much more than just treating symptoms, and is ultimately able to help people be the best version of themselves and achieve the destiny that they were born to live in this lifetime.

I have studied with Jeffery numerous times between 2012-2019 in Ireland, and have studied with some of his long term students such as Tim Sullivan and Ann Cecil Sterman many times as well. I have also completed mentorships in Classical Chinese Medicine with Hung Tran and Sean Tuten.

Recently I have begun teaching my own small classes on aspects of Classical Chinese medicine at my clinic, and in 2024 taught a year long course to shiatsu students on how to become acupuncturists.

Jeremy says:

“I knew I had found a way of being and understanding the world and the human condition that made perfect sense to me.”

“During my twenties I studied varies Tai chi yang style forms and Qi gong with various teachers. Every time I practised I felt better within myself. Calmer, more connected to who I am and the present moment.”

Jeremy’s clinical results and ability to work with complex conditions continues to increase as the years go by.

“I am truly blessed to be living this life and connected to the Taoist path with such amazing teachers.”
