About Me

Hi, I’m Lorraine. With over 30 years of experience in healthcare, starting as a nurse and later transitioning into medical education, I have witnessed the profound effects of stress, fatigue, illness, and emotional trauma on both the mind and body.

In early 2020, as the world pressed pause during the Covid-19 pandemic, I faced my own health challenges, some as a direct result of burnout and stress.

This led me to re-discover the transformative power of Qigong, which not only helped me recover but also significantly improved my lifelong asthma, reducing my reliance on inhalers.

Qigong has become a cornerstone in my daily journey to wellness.

Since then, I have expanded my practice and passion for motivating, encouraging, and supporting people to release stress and tension, sleep better, move more freely, and improve their overall health through simple, easy-to-follow practices and techniques.

This now includes breathwork coaching as a certified Oxygen Advantage® instructor and ear (auricular) acupuncture as a certified NADA GB practitioner. Together with Qigong, these modalities enable me to offer a holistic approach to health and wellbeing - one that I am deeply passionate about sharing with others.

Why I love Qigong

Qigong's energising fusion of meditation and gentle movements has revitalised me, enhanced my breathing, strength, and resilience. This transformative personal journey inspired me to become a certified Qigong instructor, driven by a passion to share its life-enhancing benefits.

Inspired by the wisdom encapsulated in the saying, 'Add not only years to your life - but life to your years,' my life's intention is to advocate for better balance, paving the way for a healthier and happier second half.

Qigong, a simple yet remarkably effective self-care practice, is a gift we all deserve. It serves as a compass, guiding us to navigate life's challenges and flourish with vitality.
