Providing interactive workshops in the community. I invite you to take part in
community events whilst discovering and benefiting from Qi Gong, Meditation, and
Sound Healing As well as being good for your posture and breathing! Qi Gong is
recognised as a form of preventative medicine and studies have shown that those
who practice it experience less anxiety and better moods. There’s no age limit,
there’s no right or wrong, there’s just a desire to take part and nourish
yourself in a shared environment. Qigong embraces nature and reminds us of the
rhythm of the seasons. Movement meditations are designed for the physical
benefits of improving posture and breathing as well as exploring internal
resistance. The philosophy of Qigong is that nature is our teacher. Each session
or workshop explores how to release tension, embrace change and harness the
energy of the cycle of Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer. After a career in
Music and the hospitality industry, I re-trained in 2010 in therapeutic sound in
the community and then qualified as an instructor in Tai Chi Qi Gong. I continue
to study with the Deyin institute in the practice of Tai Chi and Taoist
philosophy. Having learned transcendental meditation back in the 80s,
self-healing had always been of interest. Having also qualified as a masseuse I
have a background in dance and a strong interest in anatomy. I continued to
explore using meditation as a means of relaxation whilst incorporating sound
healing and movement. My joy is working in community groups with a variety of
workshops and sessions I traveled abroad in 2005 to work for a charity in
Sarajevo with PTSD sufferers and took some training in this area. I felt drawn
to finding ways to help people with trauma to relax and to give themselves time
to heal and explore their own physical and emotional journeys. Part of finding a
life balance is something we all want to explore. I found the best way for me
was a mix of progression in learning as well as in giving and helping charities
and worthy organisations. Here’s a list of my contributions. It’s a privilege
and not always financially possible but the philosophy is that in giving we
receive so it doesn’t always have to be by paying out in money.
