Tim Newman

Professionally Tim Newman describes himself as an artist and bodyworker .

"He has a particular interest in experiential and sensory learning, combined with consciousness skills. The cornerstone of his bodywork and health practice has been the development of an approach and vocabulary that are relatively neutral (ie not faith-based), and in developing awareness of physical and energetic boundaries and the way these change when people are close or touching, especially but not only in a therapeutic context".

Tim Newman trained as an acupuncturist and therapeutic masseur before encountering Zero Balancing (ZB) in 1984. Since then he has been practicing ZB in Cornwall and London and teaching workshops in the UK and abroad. Tim spent 5 years as a volunteer consultant at the Helen Bamber Foundation in London, part of a team helping survivors of cruelty: He is currently gathering material for a research project regarding human sensory experience and wellbeing : It combines performance and practice in both art and medicine – and looks at the way information, learning and healing response are affected and transmitted by integrated body-mind functioning : E.g., presence, example and consciousness.

In his painting practice he is known for vibrant and vigorous landscape and figures , which is strongly supported by his experience with touch therapies. He is keen to encourage a broad based anthropological approach to evidencing energy which he understands as literally 'making science from the senses'.
