I aspire to help those around me in a more balanced lifestyle, support overall wellbeing, bring inner peace in these challenging times and get into the habit to slow down. My path in holistic healing began over seventeen years ago in Ayurveda and sound and vibrational therapy. What truly changed everything for me was discovering Qigong—Practicing Qigong flows brought deep healing, renewed energy, and a profound sense of alignment into my life. I am a certified Qigong flow instructor with YoQi with more than 200h training. I have been practicing and teaching daily for the past six years. Alongside this, I bring over fifteen years of experience in sound therapy, and was naturally drawn to the subtle yet powerful world of sound journeys, offering space for inner exploration and restoration. As a nature connection's facilitator I love to practice Qigong outdoors.: a nature-based Qigong practice following the rhythms of seasons and nature. I weave Qigong, sound, and nature connection together to support others in slowing down, reconnecting, and returning to a more balanced, harmonious way of being. Practicing Qigong has been truly life transforming for me helping with physical ailments such as frozen shoulders, but also feeling so much more aligned in my life. What a gift, an hidden gem this practice. I would love to share it with you!

I came to Qigong because of chronic pain but found a wellspring of other physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits including more meaning and purpose and improved relationships to self, others, and nature.
