Hi,
I am looking for any Holistic Practitioners in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Could you please let me know if there are any and their contact details.
Much appreciated.
Ciao

Australian Jac Vidgen is a Senior Practitioner who has devoted the past 11 years of his life to Buteyko's method of breathing reconditioning. He's been visiting HK regularly for the past 7 years.
Originally from Brisbane, he spent most of his adult life in Sydney, where, in the early 90s, he worked and trained with Alexander Stalmatski, a leading protege of Dr. Buteyko's. Since that time, Jac spent some years based in Sydney, teaching Buteyko's method there and around rural NSW. He started introducing the method to Asia in 1997, and, for the last 5 years, he's been based in Bangkok, working mostly in Hong Kong, Manila, Thailand, and occasionally in Bali.
HK Dumping Old Bad Habit
Sell it or donate it, but don’t dump it into the nearest rubbish bin – the Lunar New Year-end mantra of the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) appears to have been heard by at least some members of the public. According to the EPD, more than 500 reusable items were uploaded to its online Secondhand Exchange Platform during the Lunar New Year-end period. The department had also received many enquiries from the public about what to do with items they no longer wanted.

The Second Hand Exchange is an online mart introduced by the EPD this year to give people a means of disposing off their unwanted but still useful goods. The department also urged the public to use the waste separation facilities on estates and buildings to recover reusable materials such as not only waste paper and plastics, but metals, old clothes, electrical and electronic appliances and even rechargeable batteries, instead of discarding them as usual. According to an EPD spokesman, the waste management campaign was well received with more than 400 housing estates and residential buildings participating.
Hong Kong, like other developed countries, is generating an increasing amount of waste as its people become wealthier. Currently, about 6.4 million tons of waste are disposed in landfills each year. The growing waste load means landfills are filling up faster than expected.
However, many items that end up in landfills are not waste. A large quantity of reusable but unwanted consumer goods are disposed of because of the lack ofalternative means of disposal. The Hong Kong Second-hand Exchange aims to address this situation by promoting the exchange or sale of reusable products.
