Our paths crossed on numerous A.R.T. courses and training weekends and we became freinds. After practicing much together over the years we found we worked well together and that our healing disciplines were complementary. We decided to combine our skills and open TAOH clinic.
Andi discovered A.R.T. whilst trying to understand and heal her son who became very ill at a young age with a confusing host of symptoms which were little understood by main stream doctors and didn't respond to medication or alternative therapies. Through A.R.T. she learned the undelying factors causing his conditon and the remedies needed to bring him back to health. She began to encourpourate A.R.T. techniques with her acupuncture patients with good results.
Tami's A.R.T. journey began after qualifying as a nutritional therapy practitioner and realising that although metabolism is vital to health there are other factors to consider. Having suffered many years of digestive issues, joint pain and anxiety, she discovered, through A.R.T. that Mercury toxicity was a major inhibitor in her own healing path. This understanding led to an effective detox progam and recovery.
Tami is a certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, trained through the Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA) in the USA. Her approach is rooted in functional nutrition, which focuses on understanding the root causes of physical and mental symptoms rather than simply treating the symptoms themselves. This holistic method includes hands-on assessments such as pressure point evaluations and neuro-lingual testing - placing specific foods or supplements on the tongue to determine the body’s true nutritional needs.
This method has proven highly effective for identifying metabolic imbalances. By addressing these imbalances and reducing internal stressors, the body is supported in its natural healing process—forming the foundation for long-term health.
Recognizing that deeper layers often underlie physical symptoms, Tami furthered her training with Dr. Datis Kharrazian in functional neurology and spent several years studying under Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, mastering the ART (Autonomic Response Testing) technique. This advanced system builds on the metabolic foundation and explores deeper influences such as pathogens, toxins, energetic imbalances, emotional stress, and ancestral trauma—providing a more complete understanding of health and offering gentle, effective solutions.
In addition to her healing work, Tami is also a classically trained musician. Her experience in music - particularly vocal instruction and sound therapy - beautifully complements her therapeutic practice. Light (photons) and sound (phonos) naturally work in harmony, and the voice itself carries deep information about both our physical and emotional state. Vocal work can be a powerful tool for processing stress and building confidence.
Tami integrates her musical and healing expertise with regular sessions of Mental Field Therapy (MFT), where appropriate. MFT, developed by Dr. Callahan and expanded by Dr. Klinghardt, is a tapping technique that helps release trauma - often stored unconsciously in the body. By tapping on specific meridian points while engaging in dialogue, clients can safely and gently resolve emotional blockages that may interfere with both mental and physical health.
Andrea has worked as a Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncturist and Reflexologist in Chiswick, West London for over 20 years. She has developed a highly dynamic system for treating medical conditions by combining several therapies synergistically. Acupuncture, Auricular Acupuncture, Reflexology, Vertical Reflex Therapy (VRT) and Prickling Neurostimulation Technique (PNST) work powerfully together to restore energetic flow and improve overall vitality and well-being. She integrates Dr. Klinghardt’s Autonomic Response Testing (ART) into meridian work and other energy techniques. She is also trained as a Bach Flower Remedy practitioner and in Phytobiophysics flower remedies used to powerfully release emotional blockages.
Andrea’s interest in complementary therapies dates to her teenage years giving reflexology treatments to friends and family and developed further during her travels to Asia. She studied and qualified as a reflexologist at the International Federation of Reflexologists (IFR) and holistic massage ITEC in1998. Subsequently, she went on to achieve a 1st class BSc: Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture) from the University of Westminster in 2005. She continues studying and attending CPDs adding many useful techniques to her knowledge.
Andrea is a keen meditator, practises Tai Chi and interested in shamanic healing, plant spirit medicine and the spiritual nature of healing on all five levels - physical, emotional, mental, intuitive, spiritual. She is perceptive and empathetic and has broad knowledge around natural healing, nutrition and exercise. She is a member of the Association of Acupuncture Clinicians (AAC).
