Born in 1954 in a small village of Nkozi, in Uganda, East Africa. Born of Indian parents and the youngest of five children. Both local African and Indian traditional medicine and conventional orthodox medicine (western/allopathic), formed part of his health care since childhood. In this rich and colourful upbringing in a multicultural society, he was able to see without prejudice the benefits to life that each culture had to offer. From a very young age, he recalls being about 5yrs old, his mother would ask him to massage her back regularly. This he feels was the beginning of his training!
The family had to leave Uganda during the exodus in 1972. He came to UK with his elderly parents and his two older brothers.
After a period of unsettled life, his interest in health was rekindled through plants. He studied Horticulture in Wisbech (Cambs) with particular interest in Organic gardening.
He then enrolled to study Herbal medicine but this was soon replaced by a fulltime and a more demanding study of Chiropractic: in 1978 he started his study in Chiropractic at the Anglo European College of Chiropractic in Bournemouth, where he graduated in 1982. Soon after he also became a father and realised the need to provide his children with natural health care.
The limits of Chiropractic became apparent and he pursued his study in Homeopathy under the guidance of the world renowned Homeopath, George Vitoulkas and later has studied under many world class teachers.
In 1986, he began his study in CranioSacral Therapy and in 1992 he began his studies with the Upledger Institute and Hugh Milne, with whom he still continues his studies. Over the years he has developed a family clinic offering Natural health care using his combined disciplines of CranioSacral Therapy, Homeopathy and Chiropractic; in addition he has a number qualified and experienced therapists and teachers who also offer services that complement and support each other
He is a father of four boys (Adam, Luke, Ruben & Akash) and a proud grandfather of a beautiful girl (Maya) !
He is not opposed to conventional medicine and recognises its place in health care. He works together with GPs and consultants and practitioners of alternative/complementary medicine to provide safe health care to his patients. He often takes time to observe surgery so as keep up with the advances in medicine and therefore able to advice his patients when surgery is needed, to prepare them and provide rehabilitation care after the operation. He treats every patient as if they were part of his family.
