Meet Lorraine
Helping Women Feel Like Themselves Again

Hello, I'm Lorraine – an internationally certified Qigong teacher, Breathwork Coach, Reiki Practitioner and former nurse with over 30 years' experience supporting people's health and wellbeing.

My discovery of Qigong came at the perfect moment - just when I needed it most. Looking back, I can't help but wish I had found this transformative practice sooner. This holistic approach to wellness has reshaped my physical health and elevated my mental wellbeing in ways I never imagined.

Since then, my work has naturally evolved to include Reiki and breathwork alongside Qigong.
Stress that once weighed me down is now a distant memory. I sleep deeply and wake up full of energy. I've unlocked a vitality I hadn't felt in years. And now, I'm on a mission to share these life-changing benefits with you.

Today, my approach is gentle, personalised and centred around you. Whether we're working with movement, breath or Reiki, my aim is never simply to guide you through a practice - it's to help you feel calmer, restore your energy and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels sustainable and deeply supportive.

Whether you join me for a Qigong class, experience a Reiki session or work with me through breathwork coaching, my aim is always the same - to create a calm, supportive space where you can slow down, breathe and begin to feel like yourself again.

I'd love to welcome you, wherever you are on your wellbeing journey.

The power of Qigong

Transformative Journeys: What Our Clients Say

“I have mobility issues and I thought these classes might be just what I was looking for. They certainly were. They are not too taxing, so you don't need to be super fit. I go at my own pace and I'm finding that I'm more flexible than I was. My stress and anxiety levels are more easily managed. The class has a very calming effect. I look forward to it every week”.

Linda D
“I have been attending Lorraine's Qigong classes for a few months now and am truly grateful for the results. I have a couple of physical issues and my mobility, flexibility and balance have visibly improved. I am also finding that I sleep better and can relax and deal with stress better. Lorraine is an excellent class teacher and her ability to use her medical knowledge to make the class aware of how Qigong impacts our bodies and minds adds to the whole experience. My only regret is that I did not start sooner”.

Ina C
"I sleep much better and if I miss one or more classes in a week my sleeping pattern changes for the worse. I am much more supple in the mornings than I used to be. I feel more relaxed in situations that would have stressed me. You are a superb instructor with a first-class knowledge of Qigong. You realise what I need from class and support me to improve”.

Helen O
“I thoroughly enjoy our Qigong class. I have noticed an improvement in my flexibility and occasionally interacting from a seated position for some of the class, presents no problem. Lorraine transmits happiness and joy throughout her informative commentaries, infused with a lovely sense of gentle humour! Altogether, excellent value for money I would say! Thank you, Lorraine, for providing us with Qigong”.

Sandra R
“Lorraine is a fantastic teacher of Qigong. Leaving behind the stress of the day and focusing on an hour to myself, I have really found this class to be a time where I can centre myself and just be still. Whilst doing the mindful meditations Lorraine explains each movement well, also the medical benefits to our mind, soul & body. It’s my therapy session. I’m so thankful, I have also made some new friends".

Gail H
"I have been attending Lorraine's Qigong classes since June. I suffer from lower back pain and I find Qigong to be both relaxing and inspirational. It's a great form of gentle exercise. Recently I had a one to one session with Lorraine who tailored a programme for me that suits my needs. The gentle stretching movements and breathing techniques are helping me to cope so much better compared to other forms of exercise I have tried to relieve my back symptoms in the past. I would highly recommend Lorraine's Qigong. I feel less stressed and more energised after my daily routine".

Susan G
"Just back from a retreat where Lorraine led a fantastic qigong session. Her knowledge and experience in teaching shines through. So well instructed throughout, informative, clear and flowing. I loved it. Thank you Lorraine".

Kate (Qigong Retreat)
"I attended a Qigong Retreat and had the pleasure of joining Lorraine's class! I loved her energy, clear instructions and the entire session flowed beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed the different moves and healing sounds for each of the organs! Would definitely attend her sessions anytime! I certainly felt the Qi! Thank you so much for being so fabulous Lorraine".

Kalpna, London
I attended a Qigong class with Lorraine as part of a weekend retreat. Lorraine gives clear instruction which makes you feel very comfortable in her class. She peppers the guidance with insight on the benefits of the movements and delivers this in a friendly easy going manner, making for a lovely Qigong session.

Karen, Greater Manchester
"Lorraine exudes a calming energy and has such rich knowledge of qigong which she weaves into a beautiful flow for her class. I was lucky enough to experience one of Lorraine’s classes at a qigong retreat. The energy in the room was palpable in a gentle, supportive way and I felt calm and energised. Thank you!"

KW, Oxfordshire
"I really enjoyed Lorraine’s Qigong class, which I was able to attend at a retreat. Lovely, varied content for body and mind".

Karen, Nottinghamshire
"I absolutely loved the qigong session with Lorraine. It felt so professional with lovely music playing softly in the background. She has a calm and easy way about her teaching so you always feel able to follow her lead! The session was super enjoyable, and the best bit was how well you felt afterwards! Super teacher!"

Caroline, Sussex
"Lorraine’s Qigong session was excellent. The class was well structured with clear instructions. I felt at ease during the class and very relaxed afterwards"

Claire (Qigong retreat)
"I had the absolute pleasure of joining Lorraine in a qigong class. I can honestly say it was one of the most uplifting enjoyable & fun practice that I have experienced. Lorraine not only makes the class inclusive, she also embodies, encouragement, calmness & knowledge throughout".

Tania W (Qigong Retreat)
"Absolutely wonderful Lorraine and I loved how you connected every move to our daily lives. This has made such a big difference to my day - Thank you again!"

Jo (Online classes)
"I like Qigong more each time… particularly the movement with the breath. I find it very easy to slip into that and it feels really calming and centreing. But also, the specific movements and what each one symbolises as many of them resonate with me. And you’re a great teacher. I couldn’t find anything negative to say even if I tried!"

Amanda (Online Classes)
"I really enjoy your classes; the flows are lovely, and you can really tell you’d put a lot of preparation into them. I felt relaxed but energised after them. I’m more flexible than I was, especially in my spine".

Phili (Online Classes)
“I have really enjoyed the classes. I have also enjoyed the more in-depth explanation of the exercises, breathing and how Qigong can help us in so many ways”.

Morag (Online Classes)
“Lorraine's personable nature, clear instructions, extensive knowledge and application of theory to practice are only a couple of reasons why I have stuck with her [Qigong] classes… We each benefit from the feeling of perceived 1:1 intimacy of the online session, focusing on Lorraine and our own wellbeing with minimal external distractions and influences. I consistently sleep better and use more diaphragmatic breathing on a daily basis… a very enjoyable window of self-care and a precious time to develop self-awareness and calmness”.

Susan (Online Classes)
I had been struggling with chronic pain when someone suggested Lorraine’s Qigong classes. I thoroughly enjoy the group classes and will definitely continue them, but the one to one experience of the bespoke programme that Lorraine tailored to suit my needs was really wonderful and truly magical. Her videos and meditations are very easy to follow and now I have them to keep to use daily. I would highly recommend Lorraine and have done to other friends. She’s a kind, caring, beautiful soul that is great to work with.

Private Client Clare
I started learning Qigong with Lorraine through her excellent exercise classes. I chose to work one to one with Lorraine to overcome significant mental health challenges and to improve my general health and fitness. As a senior health professional, she provided a safe as well as fun environment to explore my issues. Through her tailored programme she has given me the skills and the confidence to establish my daily practice of meditation and exercise. This has been transformational for my health and I am finding more energy and flexibility each day, but people around me have noticed the smile on my face. I highly recommend Lorraine for her knowledge, attention to detail and motivational skills, as well as providing great value.

Private Client - B
I have been going to Qigong classes led by Lorraine for a few years now and have felt the benefits from that practice. When I heard she was offering a bespoke, one to one practice I was keen to try it. Lorraine is very intuitive and listens carefully to what you want to get out of your practice. She explains things in an easy and encouraging manner. The exercises that she chooses personally for you are easy to follow from a private YouTube link. I feel that the bespoke sessions have had a profound effect on both my physical and mental wellbeing and has deepened my Qigong practice.

Private Client - O
My objective in doing a private bespoke Qigong programme with Lorraine was to consolidate other areas of personal development with something which would support my body in a gentle, low-impact way, as well as promoting a greater sense of wellbeing… Lorraine, whose ability to integrate western medical knowledge with principles of traditional Chinese medicine, was so helpful and productive. I really appreciated this tailored, personal approach and the library of resources made available to me. I have made great progress and am now able to use Qigong to enhance my life on a daily basis. I wholeheartedly recommend Lorraine and the programmes that she offers.

Thank you, Lorraine, for my 8 week bespoke programme. I had no idea what to expect but am delighted with the results and the knowledge I have to take forward. Issues that I expressed have been focused on using Qigong practices, meditation and breathwork and these tools are now mine to use whenever I need. I have improved sleep and relaxation and can deal better with everyday stress. For many years I have had to cope with chronic spinal and joint issues and digestive problems and although they are still there, I am finding ways through Qigong to limit how they affect me. I'm at the start of a journey thanks to you.

Private Client (NB)
If you get a chance to enjoy Qigong with Lorraine, I would say grab the opportunity. Her classes are fun, informative and her knowledge is second to none. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she explains everything as you go along and it’s certainly the quickest hour in the week! I recently had an 8 week bespoke programme designed for my health issues and it has helped beyond all expectations. A treasure of information indeed and worth every penny. Thanks Lorraine.

Private Client CH
I started Qigong classes with Lorraine 2 years ago hoping that it would improve restricted movement due to a worsening spine problem. The classes have improved my flexibility and discomfort immensely. I decided to invest in a bespoke [Qigong] programme with my trust in Lorraine's extensive medical knowledge and ability to combine the best of both East and West medicine. I am delighted with the improvement in both my physical and mental health. My GP is amazed with my range of movement, flexibility, energy and fitness despite the deterioration in my condition. I now have a more positive outlook and am able to manage my own physical and emotional health and enjoy life. Lorraine has taught me to Breathe and Believe and I can't thank her enough.

Ina (Private Client Aberdeenshire)
I have been going to Lorraine for several weeks now for ear acupuncture. Lorraine is very good at putting you at ease & explains everything that she is going to do before starting, & guides you through each part of what she is about to do before doing it. It is not painful in any way… just a tiny bit aware of the needle going in, but certainly not painful. Lorraine guides you through some meditation which I thought my "busy" mind would never do, however Lorraine is amazing at what she does & before I knew it my mind was quiet & calm. Would I recommend it, absolutely!

Pat (Ear Acupuncture)
I can highly recommend ear acupuncture with Lorraine, it’s great for calming your nervous system. She is extremely knowledgeable on how to look after your body and mind, she’s also a lovely person to be around. Lastly her Qigong classes are the best!!

Debbie (Ear Acupuncture)
Lorraine is amazing! Couldn’t recommend her and her ear acupuncture skills more! She is so lovely and thorough and made me feel at ease in the first minutes of my first session. I had a lot of anxiety going in and I will admit I was pessimistic about its results, but it genuinely has helped me harness an inner calm I’ve needed for years. It’s given me the tools to help with the anxious feelings when they arise and how to navigate through. I’m deeply thankful and look forward to my maintenance sessions ♥️

Lauren (Ear Acupuncture)
I found the Breathwork easy to follow with your guidance and that it had a great effect on calming me down in everyday life. I also use it when I am feeling stressed and it's a great tool to allow me to feel calm and not overwhelmed in situations. Making this part of a daily routine definitely helps. I loved working with yourself and found that you were calm, knowledgeable and the right type of structure and to maintain the breathwork.

Annette – Breathwork coaching client
"I absolutely love your class. I always leave feeling so calm and energised. The movements are so relaxing and I just love your style of teaching. You are so passionate, caring and your enthusiasm radiates from you. I love all the knowledge you share with the class and look forward to it every week"

Angela
"I love your Qigong classes and now cannot imagine life without them. I think the deep feeling of peace and calm that the classes deliver are so helpful in a busy and stressful world. Also, knowing that you are keeping your body flexible and agile is a huge plus. I find the hip rotations and body tapping so relaxing and easy to do- we often do them outdoors - it's just become something we always do now. Thank you for your wonderful teaching and the genuine care you impart to us all during the class"

Moragh
"I have finished seeing Lorraine for ear acupuncture alongside guided meditation. First & most importantly, I would like to thank Lorraine for her kindness, patience & for listening to whatever issues were concerning me & to not only help me work out for myself how to deal with them but give me the encouragement & confidence to believe in myself & that I could think through things without feeling overwhelmed. It's taken a few months too "graduate" [complete my treatments] but with the help of Lorraine I did it, also I have been reassured she will always be there if ever feel overwhelmed by something. I would certainly highly recommend Lorraine if you ever feel overwhelmed & you need a calmer mind."

Pat
I wanted to send an email to thank you for delivering your Qigong sessions in such an accessible way. Your delivery is inspiring, energising and suits me so well. I count you as my latest blessing! I've never explored Qigong - I loved it instantly… and the way the delivery is geared towards what you think your group need at that time.

Christine C (Saturday Online Qigong Classes)
"When I developed persistent pain in my shoulder I joined Lorraine’s private coaching programme. Following consultation with Lorraine, she provided a tailor-made programme to suit my needs. The personalised programme weaved together gentle flowing mindful movements, breathing techniques & visualisations. We had weekly meetings & Lorraine provided insightful support & guidance. This enabled me to get on track. By following through with the practices, I experienced positive changes. It not only eased my physical pain but brought a sense of inner calm, focus & balance in my daily life. Thank you, Lorraine, for your in-depth knowledge of both Western & Eastern health practices, for being such an enthusiastic teacher & empowering me to make a difference to my health & wellbeing. I would certainly recommend Lorraine’s private Wellness coaching programme."

Cathy (Private Client)
“I began coaching sessions with Lorraine because I felt stuck and overwhelmed in my life. Now I am appreciating the changes that she has helped me to instil. I have taken advantage of further one-to-one sessions with Lorraine to deepen my daily routines, my mindfulness and understanding. Finding myself a bit off track, she has helped renew my confidence and guided me to improve my daily exercise. Working through her videos, I can now focus on a practice that allows me to self-learn and improve. I am benefitting from the wisdom that Lorraine has gleaned from her extensive training with Qigong masters and her understanding of health and wellbeing. It is exciting to feel a shifting of my old self and new possibilities opening up”
