The Flowing Qi Story

Recurring headaches/migraines

‘It must be due to the weather, oh – it must be due to sitting too long at the computer screen, oh, I must have slept awkwardly. Never mind, I’ll just take another paracetamol it will get better tomorrow.’

Prolonged lack of sleep/disturbed sleep

‘I must have eaten too late, oh – I read too late, oh – I’ve got a lot on my mind. Never mind, I could take some sleep tablets or it will get better in a few days.’

Recurring backache

‘I must have moved in an awkward way, oh – I must have slept funny, oh – I must have sat too long in one position today. Never mind, I’ll just take another paracetamol or go to the physio.’

Recurring Stomach issues

It must be the food I ate, oh – I ate too late, oh – I must have an intolerance. I’ll have to stay home, the doctor can’t help as it’s something that can’t be fixed.’

Constant lack of energy

‘I’m probably not eating right, oh – it’s probably because I work late every day this week, oh – I’m going through some challenges. I’ll skip the fitness class tonight, I’ll eat a salad for dinner, I’ll rest and relax on the sofa.’

Constant worry/anxiety/stress/sadness

‘I’m just awkward, I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I must have done something wrong, I don’t know what’s my purpose, I’m so stressed but don’t know how to resolve it. I’ll just keep in this cycle of stuck as I don’t know how to get out of it.’

Recognise any of the above scenarios?

Constantly making excuses for your body’s cues? brushing them under the carpet or simply not knowing how to manage them in a self-healing way?

Flowing Qi or Flowing life force (Qi = energy/life force) has been ‘under development’ for many years, the fruit of its labour – fixing and nurturing my own health and wellness issues first and then being ready to pass on my knowledge and experience to others.

It has always been my passion/calling since I started on my Martial arts/Chinese medicine journey 25+ years ago to share these amazing arts that are not only for self-defense, body-conditioning, and legacies but also the healing benefits of these arts (body, mind & soul) – many of the practices that can be used as self-healing practices.

After years of study with numerous schools, inspirational teachers/masters, and mentors, with experimentation, experience, and most importantly – practice, I have found the combination of modalities that have totally changed and transformed my health, vitality and life and are changing others’ lives too.

I have expanded my studies to deep-dive into multiple facets of health from a holistic approach. I'm a certified Holistic Nutritional Health Coach (IIN), Certified Taichi Instructor (Master Liming Yue - Chen Style - Chen Zhenglei lineage), Qigong instructor (White Tiger Qigong & Shaolin), Mindfulness coach (Seetrue), Science of Stretching & Breathwork coach (YOGABODY), Massage therapist - therapeutic (focus on Meridians/Acupressure), Foundations of Chinese Medicine & Tuinia and am continuing my studies as a Fitness trainer/Nutritional weight management coach and more. I'm truly grateful and forever indebted to all those who have passed on their teachings and wisdom and continue to do so - and I now feel a responsibility as a custodian of these arts to share with others.

I continue with my personal development and studies with mentors and schools; ITCCA (Yang Taijiquan), White TIger Qigong School, Taichi Centre UK (Chen Taijiquan), Mimi Kuo-Deemers, Ken Cohen, Opleidingscentrum Kersten and Shaolin Temples and others.
