Physician, Author, Speaker, Musician Robin is a sought-after conference speaker and workshop presenter; his style is relaxed and spontaneous, with an eclectic mix of fact, humour and music. He is an English-trained doctor whose medical practice has evolved to embrace Eastern and modern mind/body philosophies. His focus is on integrating these holistic models into a modern contemporary environment -- blending the best of the East with the best of the West. Patients are seen as true partners, and "Healing Plans" are devised honouring each person's unique gifts. According to Robin, the most common ingredient missing from modern prescriptions is the very soul of the individual seeking help. Deep healing involves the body, the mind and the spirit in equal amounts. Robin explores these issues in his book, "Healing Ways -- A Doctor's Guide to Healing" (PenguinBooks). He explains the deep healing process, identifying how this can become blocked and cleared. Chinese medicine and the modern science of mind/body medicine are also explained in easy terms, with healing stories and exercises relevant to today's busy lifestyle. "Healing Ways" has received critical acclaim both in New Zealand and in the UK. He was interviewed at length by Kim Hill on National Radio, and has appeared on TV1's "Today Live," "Medical File" and "Assignment." Robin encourages each of us to explore our own unique creative gifts. He sees creativity as a mindful state of channeling, freeing us from time-bound pressures while allowing the world to benefit from our new and unique vision. It is often an essential ingredient of the deep healing process. Robin is also a passionate songwriter, singer and musician who has recorded two CDs of original songs "Black Ice" (1998) and "Silk & Knives" (2002). Both albums have received National Radio airplay, with a further live performance on TV1's Good Morning Show. He has just finished writing a musical stage show. |
