Prior to learning Qigong, I suffered with debilitating anxiety, low self esteem and deeply rooted feelings of unworthiness. My internal world was a place of chaos, frustration, confusion and fluctuating moods. It was extremely difficult for me to have or maintain relationships as I was unable to connect with myself. Despite counselling, workshops and reading every book on self help, I was literally trapped within my trauma.
On a whim, I tried Qigong and tai chi. The calming effect of Qigong is experienced almost immediately. I noticed my nervous system calming, my mind coming back into focus and my sleep improving. Within a month, I felt myself transformed. My anxiety eased, I learned to make genuine connections with others and began developing a sense of authentic confidence.
Nothing is a miracle cure. We must be willing to make the effort however, these practices changed my life so profoundly that I have dedicated myself to sharing them. Everyone is here because you are meant to be here. Life will have challenges for sure yet it is not intended to be continual struggle.
Self acceptance is the key to all lasting fulfilment yet so many of us wish we were anyone but who we are. When we learn to tap into our true nature, we develop a sense of reverence for who we really are. This naturally extends outward, offering us deep connections to life and others.
Life can be anything you want it to be when you are true to yourself.
Like many of us, I had a lot of past trauma fuelling my actions yet I had no idea how to move beyond the habitual patterns and tendencies that were driving my life.
Qigong offers a gentle yet direct path to healing. The flowing movements coupled with breath work and intention help to release old energy (such as trauma, fear, anxiety) so that we can return to the core of who we really are.
I offer a range of services including weekly group sessions, micro retreats, business, schools and personal coaching, ceremonial openings and closings. All services are available online and in person.
No fitness level or experience is required to participate in any of my programs. All sessions are always fully guided. Forms are adaptable to your physical ability.
I am a fully certified Qigong Instructor. I spent several years training with the Australian Academy of Tai Chi and Qigong, including training in weapons. More recently, I have been training tai chi with Josh Roelink.
I have studied Medical Qigong with Master Liu Deming and Nick Loffree and modern Qigong with Nicole Lee.
Qigong incorporates deep understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Acupressure and Daoism. The training is life long. It is a journey rather than a destination.
I am fully insured and have my working with Children Check.
