As I began a breast cancer treatment journey I also began learning Ren Xue Qigong, prompted by a voice in my head clearly saying I needed to. My oncology team all encouraged me to ‘keep doing that qigong’ as they saw how helpful it was in reducing side effects, calming my heart and mind, and enhancing my post surgery rehab to restore range of movement.
Qigong has improved my health, energy and calmness so much I embarked on teacher training to share the practice. In 2025/26 I qualified to teach the first four Yuan Qigong methods and Yi Qi technique – a method supporting the body’s ability to self heal. I’m continuing further teacher training.
My background is in tutoring community adult Psycho-sensory self regulation techniques and mindfulness meditation groups for many years, nursing and counselling and avid exploration of wellbeing practices of all kinds. I have found the Ren Xue approach encompasses the essence of everything I’ve explored previously in a self-empowering way.
I resonate with the Ren Xue approach of us all being learners together on the journey of enhancing whole of life wellbeing and the community around us.
I teach in North West Christchurch, individuals and groups, in person or online.
