For more than 30 years, Gillian Reid has devoted herself to the path of Universal Healing Tao, Qigong, and Tai Chi, embracing these disciplines as a way of life rather than simply a set of techniques. A senior instructor certified by Grand Master Mantak Chia, she teaches across Europe and Thailand, supporting students in awakening their inner potential through ancient Taoist wisdom. Gillian offers courses, teacher certification programs in the Universal Healing Tao System and the Biospirals Method Gigong, and leads retreats at the renowned Tao Garden Health Spa & Resort in Thailand, in her hometown of Venice, Italy, and in destinations throughout Europe. Her work is deeply informed by lived experience, as the transformation she found through these practices continues to inspire her to share them with others. She is also a Chi Nei Tsang and Tok Sen massage practitioner, helping clients release stored trauma and stagnant energy through traditional Taoist and Thai bodywork.
Gillian’s teaching is shaped by her own journey of profound change, and that personal insight gives depth to the way she supports others. Through structured training programs, she helps students build physical vitality, emotional balance, and spiritual growth while developing the knowledge, skills, and confidence to guide others on their healing path.
