Gillian Reid I was born in London-UK and moved to Italy in 1985 where I am now based. Since 1992 I have dedicated my heart and soul to the practices of Qigong, and Taijiquan's healing and martial arts, through the teachings of M° Franco Mescola, M° Chen Liangshen, M° Mantak Chia, M° Faye Yip, M° Yang Jwing Ming and M° Yang Lin Sheng. For almost 30 years I have contributed to the birth and growth of the Taiji and Qigong school, 'Centro Ricerche Tai Chi A.s.d' and founded the Biospirals Method Qigong UK training school which I direct and teach at.

In 2010, I further embraced the direct knowledge and inspiration of Grand Master Mantak Chia. Subsequently, I graduated in as a Certified Universal Healing Tao Instructor. I am currently recognised by Master Mantak Chia to train and certify instructors in: Basic 1 - Inner Smile, 6 HS, Self-Massage, Self-Healing Qigong Iron Shirt I (IS1) Healing Love (HL) Tao Yin (TY) Tan Tien Chi Kung (TT) Tai Chi Kung I - Yang Style (TC1) I am a practitioner of Chi Nei Tsang I - Organ Detoxification and Chi Nei Tsang III - Tok Sen, a healing technique to clear trapped energy, on the surface of the body and deep within.

I enjoy playing an active and joyful role in sharing and promoting the Universal Healing Tao System by teaching, as Italian coordinator and translator for Grand Master Chia's online courses, and as Organiser for Italy. I am also a co-founder of the association Nuova Tao Italy, dedicated to promoting and supporting the work of Grand Master Chia and to meeting the specific needs of Italians.

With at heart the desire to preserve the inner peace that all children possess, I combined the practices and knowledge accumulated over the years to formulate a program for children that I have called 'Junior Tao Chi'. During my years of teaching both children and adults, I was welcomed into the Italian public school system, where I was able to share my knowledge on a large scale in the form of mind and body awareness through physical activity, aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 11.

I currently teach freelance offering the Universal Healing Tao practices, and Junior Tao Chi - with programs for children and educators. With the possibility to teach in both English and Italian, I run a variety of workshops and events across Europe and offer private lessons and treatment.
