He is a leader in the effort to integrate the best elements of western and eastern approaches to health to optimize health, respect patient choice and to reduce healthcare costs. (See the Articles & Newsletters section for more details). Steve uses a combination of approaches designed to comprehensively treat patients. His approaches respect and complement conventional allopathic medical treatment. Emphasis is placed on physical complaints but with a keen appreciation of the client's emotional and mental states. Underlying this approach is the assumption that illness and discomfort often have roots that go deeper than the physical and that attitudes and lifestyle have a profound effect on physical health. In addition, Steve is a highly regarded speaker and program presenter. He has been a regular guest on RTHK Radio 3 since 1988, and his articles and interviews have been featured in South China Morning Post, Hong Kong Standard, Asian Wall Street Journal, Business Traveler Magazine, Human Capital Hong Kong & China and many other publications. Steve's background in complementary and alternative medicine as a practitioner and producer, and his long involvement in the fields of personal growth, yoga, and meditation lend his presentations a unique perspective and an enthusiastic tone.
