Further information

Since 2013, I have also been teaching Qigong and meditation, holding classes in Ireland, The Netherlands and here in the UK. Sharing this ancient Chinese in university education, health care professions, the general public and the armed forces in the UK and Ireland has had significant results.

My Qigong training has taken place in London, San Diego, Minneapolis, Calgary and Amsterdam. At each stage from level 1 through to level 5, I have trained with and been certified personally by Master Lin Spring Forest Qigong.

I was awarded Practice Group Leader of the year in 2016. This year I have been invited by Spring Forest Qigong to be an outbreak speaker at the forthcoming Master of Qi Conference in Minneapolis and at the  Friends of Qigong gathering in Amsterdam in October 2019.  Becoming a Qigong Certified Master Healer and Instructor has deepened life's rich experience.
