Rest & Zest

Tune In • Explore • Connect
A journey through mindful movement and nurturing touch with Shiatsu and Qigong

Life can feel full, fast paced and demanding at times. These seasonal gatherings offer space to pause, reconnect and replenish in a welcoming, supportive environment. Come exactly as you are, perhaps curious, worn, tender or uncertain. There’s space for it all, with nothing to achieve and no experience needed.

As a Qigong teacher and Shiatsu and Acupressure for Health and Wellbeing practitioner and group facilitator, I am passionate about creating spaces in community where people can pause, listen inwardly and reconnect more fully through our body’s innate intelligence, supporting balance, ease and vitality.

Together we’ll explore gentle Qigong (chee-gung), weaving mindful movement, breath, awareness and energy flow with Shiatsu (shee-at-soo) and acupressure, nurturing touch practices rooted in East Asian wisdom traditions. We will also learn short and simple practical tools that can be woven easily into daily life at home or on the go.

Gathering in community, we’ll draw inspiration from the changing seasons, the rhythms of nature and the cycles that shape our lives. Through the lens of the Five Elements, we’ll tune into these rhythms, discovering support for rest, resilience, connection and renewed zest. Everything is offered with choice, inviting you to move, pause and participate at your own pace, in ways that feel right for you. Expect gentle movement that can take place seated, standing or lying down, with space to tune in, explore and connect in a grounded, heart-centred way.
