This week I appeared on an ITV news feature on painkillers with my client Claire Madin. Most people will seek me out because of my Pilates and Yoga teacher qualifications. However when they come to me I always treat the person and not the disease. Pilates and Yoga is, and has been medically proven to [...]

Dr. James Wanless is known for his alternative views of the tarot and life. He has studied Jungian archetypes and behaviour in great depth.
