About the Teacher
Why study with them?
My background is in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture combined with Chinese Medical Qi gong and Taiji. I studied at the New Zealand School of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, completing a Health Science degree and Qi gong and Taiji Diploma.
I specialise in treating shingles. I have spent the last decade researching, treating and recording the best form of treatment Chinese Medicine can provide including herbal formulas and topical creams. As I had the painful pathology for many years and could not find adequate diagnosis or treatment, now I provide it.
My area of interest remains within fertility both male and female. I was lucky to complete an internship as part of my degree where I worked at a local hospital for 12 months treating pregnant women in crisis and learning about fertility from Chinese perspective. Now I apply this invaluable knowledge to my clinical practice.
I will be teaching Five Elements level one theory, Male and Female Fertility and Shi Ba Shi, 5 Elements and Heaven to Earth Qigong systems.
I have been practicing Qi gong for nearly 10 years now and the impact on my daily life has been immense. It has changed who I am at the core, given my spiritual, emotional and physical strength beyond any form of training I have ever done. The most inspiring quality Qi gong gives me is peace. When I can find no peace in life what so ever. Because we do after all live in 2023, its busy its tough and it’s hard to focus. I turn to my practice. It gives me peace, clarity of mind and physical strength. I practice every day for at least 15 minutes mostly in the morning. Without this constant practice I know I would not be able to achieve what I do.
My favourite quote is:
“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts. We make the world.” – Buddha
