Restore Balance - Body, Mind & Spirit Reformation, Cambridge (2026)

I help heart-centred biz owners who are ready to fulfil their dreams and stop feeling overwhelmed by the demands of growing a purposeful business while staying healthy and being present for family. Qigong practice puts the body into the relaxation and regeneration state (the relaxation response) where the autonomic nervous system is predominately in the parasympathetic mode. Slow, deep, diaphragma

tic breathing combined with movement and mindfulness strengthens the efficiency of the immune and lymphatic systems by facilitating efficient and balanced movement of body fluids. Benefits of Qigong practice include optimizing the delivery of oxygen and nutrition to the tissues, increasing the efficiency of cellular metabolism, altering neurochemistry towards healing, managing pain and mood, reducing heart rate and blood pressure, and facilitating relaxation and mental focus.

20 years ago, in the exotic climes of Hornchurch, Essex, it was another hot, sunny day when I married my wonderful husband, Joe.

After the formalities of the register office, where we had Daoist love poem readings about the intertwining roots and branches of trees, we had our main Buddhist ceremony and blessing in my mum's back garden.

The past 20 years have been full of love, compassion, learning to listen, compromise and cooperate.

Like a willow and oak tree growing in harmony, always communicating and adapting, nurturing themselves, each other, and the surrounding environment so they all stay strong and stable.

An awful lot has happened in these past 20 years, both joyful and terrible, and I'm grateful to have gone through it all with Joe at my side 🧡

It's frustrating.

Back when I started training (3 month shiatsu and qigong course, 22ish yrs old) it was so easy to find people to practice on.
When I then started whole-heartedly training in Zen healing, acupressure, tuina, Daoist qigong, meditation, breathwork, energy healing...25 years ago, I soon had aligned and engaged students coming out of my ears!
I was teaching Chinese Massage classes, Qigong classes, Meditation classes, provided acupressure to centres in the community, even took on an over 60s keep fit class where they enjoyed learning the ancient healing practices to finish the class - 'This is how my mum used to massage my belly when I was a child."

Maybe it's because I was younger and more adventurous...but to be honest, as a perimenopausal SEND mum who knows how to deal with any emotional or physical issue that comes up, I still feel young and adventurous.

The frustration is that now, people are so overwhelmed by the amount of bitty wellness 'hacks' that are out there...
getting short-term dopamine fixes rather than learning how to actually, deeply improve their wellbeing,
or attending wellness workshops or classes where the fundamentals of how your energy actually works is missing...
so they don't know how to turn round an unhealthy lifestyle and mindset, and feel no clearer, happier or more confident in their ability or capacity to heal.

It's frustrating to know how I can help everyone I hear from, and give people who ask the practices and wisdom to improve their problems and pain, and also know that life is so chaotic and confusing that it's hard to step away from the exhausting patterns that are keeping them from a healthier, happier, more relaxed life.

I also know this frustration will pass, as all emotions do. And acknowledge it's a sign that I'm at a turning point where this energy will become a new adventure.

I write my difficult emotions out sometimes in order to process and let go, and help anyone who might resonnate to know they're not alone.

For years, I thought my job was to outrun pain, out-mother the trauma, and out-hustle the exhaustion. I was getting it all done. But I was entirely absent from my own life.

We play small because we’re waiting. Waiting until the kids are settled, until the business hits a certain milestone, or until we magically feel "ready" to matter.

It’s a lie.
Hustle culture tells you your worth is tied to your output. Medical gaslighting tells you the exhaustion is just in your head.

The truth? You are already the medicine ☯️

🌿The Art of Backing Yourself
Backing yourself isn't about some loud, aggressive push. It’s a quiet, immovable decision.
It’s looking at your own frayed edges—the messy youth, the tired bones, the neurodivergent school battles—and choosing not to look away.

•Stop self-abandoning. Every time you put your well-being at the bottom of the to-do list, you tell your spirit it doesn't matter.

•Move the energy. Your body holds the stress your mind tries to logic away. I realised years ago that Qigong and conscious breathwork aren't luxuries. They are survival 🌿

•Own your power. You can be a fiercely devoted mum and a thriving, healthy human. They are not mutually exclusive.
The spark has always been there. It never left you. 🔥

It's time to back yourself.
You don't need another self-help book or a rigid strategy.
We needed to un-learn the rules set by someone else.

Join me to tap into the elemental energies, ancient TCM breathwork and the raw, tactile grit of unconstrained self-expression.
Drop the heavy armour and reclaim your ease.

One weekend, a lifetime of freedom.
