# Andrew J Parfitt - School of Five Element Shiatsu and Tai Chi Qigong
Andrew J Parfitt operates a specialist school in London dedicated to teaching Traditional Eastern healing arts with a focus on Shiatsu, Tai Chi Qigong, and complementary therapies. The school serves individuals seeking genuine, evidence-based training in these disciplines rather than commercialised versions.
The business caters to two distinct groups: students pursuing formal Shiatsu qualifications and casual learners attending workshops and classes. Those seeking professional credentials benefit from the school's registration with the Shiatsu Society UK and recognition by the CNHC (Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council), ensuring teaching meets rigorous standards. Casual participants attend Tai Chi Qigong workshops and drop-in classes for health, relaxation, and wellbeing.
What distinguishes this school is its longevity and authentic lineage. Operating continuously since 2003, Andrew J Parfitt teaches Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi as transmitted by Sifu Wing Cheung of the Tai Chi and Feng Shui Institute, preserving traditional methodology rather than adapting it for modern trends. The school's approach integrates multiple Eastern practices—Shiatsu, acupressure, Reiki, Sotai, and chair massage—creating a comprehensive wellness philosophy grounded in Five Element theory.
The teaching emphasises accessibility without compromising depth. Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi is presented as a gentle, flowing practice suitable for various fitness levels whilst delivering genuine health benefits. This balance between rigorous professional training and welcoming community classes makes the school distinctive in London's wellness landscape.
