QiWorks for Health now offering four services

Optimal health is a key foundation for which we can build our lives upon, but it is often difficult to do alone. Need to let go and relax with a WATSU®? Work collaboratively with a coach to stay focused addressing your goals? Perhaps you want to develop mind/body skills to improve your health and healing over time? Do you need help participating in meaningful activity? QiWorks for Health is here to assist you.

WATSU® Aquatic Bodywork & Therapy.

WATSU® Aquatic Bodywork & Therapy

WATSU® aquatic bodywork takes place in warm water, where I support and move you through gentle stretches, massage, and shiatsu-based techniques. Free from gravity, your body can let go in ways that are harder to reach on land — muscles release, breathing slows, and the nervous system gets a real rest.

Health Coaching.

Health Coaching

Health Coaching with me is a partnership. Through a thought-provoking, creative process, you set the goals and I help you get there. If you are a growth-minded person who feels you've lost your 'mojo' and want control over your health back, together we can find meaning, rebuild vitality, and turn knowledge into daily habits that extend your healthspan.

Mindful Movement.

Mindful Movement

I have been teaching authentic Chinese health skills — Qigong, Chen Taijiquan, and Chun Yuen Quan — for over 20 years. Whether you're looking for calm, a clearer mind, more strength and coordination, the skill to self-heal, better posture, or a lift in spirit, one or more of these traditional energy skills may be right for you.

Recreation Therapy.

Recreation Therapy

Recreation Therapy uses purposeful activity to make life more meaningful. I have developed and led group and individual programmes for people with a wide range of disabilities. Depending on your needs, I might use your favourite activities to regain skills, adapt a favourite pastime, or help build skills like using public transport and getting out into the community. It's fun and life changing!

My Why

It's September 2026 and I am relaunching QiWorks - now QiWorks for Health.  I have been teaching my mindful movement classes for over 20 years and a similar time offering WATSU® aquatic bodywork. During this time, however, I have also had a full-time job in parks planning  and management. I enjoyed that time but truly missed giving the time and energy to my own endeavours that made such a difference in other people's lives. 

I had been contemplating leaving my 'day job' for a while and had been up-skilling to recertify as a Recreational Therapist and become a certified Health Coach, but was really scared to go out on my own. My husband had a health scare in 2025 and that was the impetus for me to leave my stable job, spend more time with him, and get all the business matters sorted to offer these four services. That was just over 9 months ago.

If you'd like to know more about 'my why' and for the services I'm offering - WATSU®, Mindful Movement, Health Coaching, and/or Recreational Therapy - stay tuned as I further update this site.
