What the Buqi system means to me​​

When I first discovered Taijiwuxigong and the Buqi system in 2008, I couldn't have imagined how profoundly it would change my life.

​

In a world where we're constantly pulled in different directions by technology, stress and the pace of modern life, I found something that helped me reconnect with a deeper part of myself. From my very first course, I was welcomed into a warm, supportive community which made it easy to explore the practice without pressure. Taijiwuxigong or energy practice was something totally new to me and with the help of some incredible teachers I was able to experience the movement of energy which was fascinating to me. 

I remember waking up the morning after my first Taijiwuxigong experience, a workshop with Andy Henry, and I felt palpably different. It was as if my windows had been deep cleaned – everything seemed brighter and clearer and I could still feel the vibration in my hands and feet.  I had been activated and there was no turning back!
As I continued training, long-standing health issues began to improve and life became easier. A big change is something much harder to put into words. I developed more confidence and a feeling of being at home in myself that didn't depend on anyone else's approval. Life became calmer, and with that came a genuine sense of happiness and contentment.

The Buqi system has been a journey of deep personal transformation. I've experienced profound healing in my own life and have had the privilege of witnessing many others undergo remarkable changes too. 
That experience is what inspires my teaching today. I want to offer others the opportunity to discover the same sense of calm, resilience and connection that has enriched my own life.
 

I have immersed herself in these healing systems ever since, and still attend as many classes and workshops as I can.  Exploring the far-reaching benefits is a continuous interest and passion. 

​

I studied buqi and meditation for a short time with Dr Shen Hongxun and am very fortunate to be able to continue my training in Taijiwuxigong, Taiji 37, Buqi and meditation with Dr Shen's daughter, Shen Jin and some of the main teachers in this system.

Alongside my Buqi studies, I've also studied Yoga and the Feldenkrais Method, which has deepened my understanding of movement, awareness and the body's natural ability to learn and heal through gentle, mindful practice.

I'm also in my fourth year of Naturopathy training with The Healing Garden, working towards becoming a professional Natural Health Practitioner. My studies include natural health techniques and herbal medicine, with a focus on safe, practical ways to improve health, reduce stress, increase vitality and support the prevention of disease. At the heart of this training is the belief that the body has an innate ability to heal when given the right conditions.

For me, these paths complement one another beautifully. They all recognise the connection between body, mind and spirit, and they continue to deepen the understanding I bring to my teaching - helping people create the best circumstances for their own health, balance and wellbeing.

Qualifications include Taijiwuxigong Teaching Diploma 2016-2018; Buqi Practitioner 2011-2013; Taiji 37 and Taiji13 2015-2017, First Aid at Work, Safeguarding Level 2. ​
