What do you like to do for fun?
What do you like to do for fun? Ummmmm. This question is always a stumper for me. This sounds like a pick-up line in a bar but I'm hearing it from my coach and mentor who's asking me because she is sensing from her side of the screen that something's off and I rarely...
17 Days
The room was filled with participants of the Zhineng Qigong Healing Retreat in Austria. Attendees ranged from skeptical (but willing) to curious (and eager). They were here to learn how their body can fully recover from illness. This concurrent retreat was organized...
Modality Highlight Series: putting Feng Shui in the (strategically-placed) spotlight
If this isn’t the first time you’ve landed on one of my blog posts you’ve probably noticed the cornerstone of my healing ethos: There is no ONE healing practice that works for all of the people, all of the time. As I’ve said...
You are more powerful than you imagine
You are more powerful than you know. More powerful than you could ever imagine. I know it doesn’t always feel that way. After all, you’ve been systematically made to feel powerless your whole life. Why? Because when people feel powerless they’re easier to sell...
Essential oils: the underrated heroes of the healing world?
Scents are powerful. So powerful the vaguest waft of a familiar perfume can transport you to a far-away time and place. So powerful that a home-baked loaf of bread can sell a house. So powerful that the enticing smell of a freshly brewed pot of coffee can make you...
Why there’s no one path to healing…and that’s actually a Good Thing.
It’s the Holy Grail of the 21st century: finding the ONE thing that’s going to make you feel amazing. And we’re all searching for it in one way or another. You might be on a quest for the one diet that’ll give you boundless energy, glowing skin, and help you...
Modality Highlight Series: is acupuncture the right place to start your healing journey?
As you know, when it comes to healing, I’m a firm believer that there’s no one-size-fits-all. No One Thing that’ll help all of the people all of the time. Healing has to be multi-faceted because we are multi-faceted. Which is why I offer an ever-increasing range of...
Ageing women: the wound that runs deep in our culture (and how we can start healing it).
As I hit “record” and saw my face pop up on my phone screen I found myself wanting to hit the delete button (again) and wishing that I’d gotten into Instagram video ten years ago. Not because of the thought that I could have amassed a significantly larger number of...
Modality Highlight Series: Harness the healing power of Zhineng Qigong.
I’ve said it before, many times: We all long for a quick fix. The ONE pill or the ONE practice that’ll make you feel great, energised, restored, healthy. That’ll get you to the point where you can confidently proclaim: I’m healed. Only healing doesn’t work that way....
The how YOU heal Manifesto: 8 Things I Know About Healing
The year I turned 28 was also the year I almost didn’t turn 29. I was diagnosed with a mystery blood disorder — idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, which literally means, “we have no idea what’s causing it, but there’s something way wrong with your platelets” — and...
The Way Out
The reasons for choosing the COVID-19 vaccine may include personal reasons, including specific health conditions that may give you pause. Honestly, when I hear from some that say it’s solely a personal choice, I cringe. There is no individual health without public...
Winter: You Be The Light
Winter is the time in our lives that gives us the chance to focus on our internal lives. This change of season is a gift to resume cultivating all the things we say we want which ultimately are found internally and not externally. In medical Zhineng qigong, we are on...
