John’s lifelong interest in health and healing has been guided by his passion and dedication to the martial arts. He studied kung fu extensively under Master Lucky Chan and Tai Chi under Master Nelson Yu.
As a teenager, John suffered a debilitating martial arts related back injury; he was barely able to walk. After receiving an acupressure/reflexology treatment from a Japanese trained healer, he was immediately able to resume his rigorous martial arts training. His body’s quick response to the healing session inspired John, in 1982, to pursue training with the healer, and he completed an intensive five year acupressure/reflexology apprenticeship with him. To further his training, John became a Certified Massage Therapist in 1986, and subsequently opened his own healing practice in 1988.
John is the creator and visionary of the Tao Center for Healing which he founded in 2004. He has felt compelled to teach and has a number of former students.
As a dedicated martial artist, John believes the key to vibrant health and wellness is balancing one’s chi (life force energy) through daily exercise (physical and mental) and eating nutritious foods. He believes ill health and disease arise from imbalances in one’s chi. Clients see John for a wide variety of health related physical and emotional issues. John’s expertise is to locate the origin of his client’s energy blocks and then to restore the circulation of his client’s chi using his unique blend of acupressure/reflexology and energy techniques utilizing a universal energy source that is applied throughout the course of a treatment session. In his drive to make a difference he is creative in both his teaching and healing sessions.
John’s foremost goal is to facilitate the body’s innate capacity to heal itself.

“After suffering with monthly migraine headaches for many years and no relief in sight, I came to John Lee at the Tao Center for Healing. I get an acupressure treatment every four weeks and I have been migraine free for more than 20 years. His treatments not only relieved me of my migraines, it has alleviated my sinus infections and improved my overall health. I highly recommend John — he is always professional, honest, and truly cares about the health of his clients.”
