Veronica Ashcroft

Veronica discovered the joys of tai chi on her journey to wellness, while recovering from chronic fatigue syndrome. Given the opportunity to teach, her fascination and passion increased, as the treasures of this internal martial art continue to be revealed through practice, study and sharing with others.

Since attending Dr Paul Lam’s workshops and adopting his Tai Chi for Health programmes, Veronica has been able to make tai chi accessible to a wider range of practitioners. She is now keen to encourage others to become instructors of the TCH programmes, and to educate health practitioners about this safe, medically proven and life-enhancing approach to tai chi.

A childhood love of ballet has evolved through contemporary dance and movement study, and aromatherapy massage (with an approach based on Traditional Chinese Medicine), to come together as a holistic way of life through tai chi and qigong.

Veronica also celebrates the miracle of the human body by attending life-drawing sessions, especially enjoying the energy of short, dynamic poses.
