A Breath lead experience your guests will carry home...
If you host retreats, workshops, or wellness events and you're looking for a practitioner who can offer something truly grounding — I'd love to be part of what you're creating.
I bring a gentle, deeply held practice that meets people exactly where they are. Whether your retreat is focused on women's health, stress and burnout, chronic illness, nature immersion, or simply slowing down
— breath, Qigong, and stillness have a place in it.

The breath is the one thing the body does both consciously and unconsciously.
When we learn to direct it — we learn to direct our own healing."
— Deanne Allan
What I offer retreat & workshop hosts:
-
Qigong sessions — morning practice, closing ritual, or standalone workshop
-
Theory of Qigong and the connection of Health through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine
-
Breathwork and stillness — guided sessions that anchor and integrate the deeper work of your retreat
-
Gentle movement — accessible for all bodies, all fitness levels, all ages
-
One-on-one consultations — drawing on my background as a Naturopath, Nutritionist, and Herbalist for guests seeking more personalised support
Each session is shaped around the theme of Chinese Medicine and your event. Nothing arrives pre-packaged.
Why it works alongside other modalities:
Breath and gentle movement are the thread that holds everything together. They prepare the body to receive — whether that's sound healing, journaling, bodywork, or simply a day of being in nature. Guests leave feeling settled, not depleted.
A little about my background:
I've spent years working with people navigating chronic pain, anxiety, stress, burnout, and hormonal and digestive concerns — in clinic and online. My advanced training in Naturopathy, Nutrition, and Herbal Medicine means I understand the body beneath the surface, and I bring that understanding into every session I hold.
Available for:
✦ Day retreats & weekend immersions
✦ Ongoing retreat programs
✦ Women's wellness events
✦ Corporate wellbeing days
✦ Online retreat formats
I work with a small number of retreat hosts each year to ensure every collaboration is genuine and well-held.
