I am Kathy, an Integrated Learning practitioner and intuitive life coach, who has spent two decades finding holistic and alternate learning tools to assist my clients to manage their learning experience, and more broadly manage Life.
In the process of equipping myself with various mindfulness practices, as part of my own healing journey, I was introduced to Qigong and was immediately taken by the huge beneficial effect it had on my body/mind consciousness. This lead me to investigate further this ancient art that was bringing enormous healing and self awareness into my life, and in turn into my work spaces.
I looked for every possible opportunity to share my new found love for the healing art of Qigong. On the back of the work I was then doing to facilitate therapeutic art at a school for the deaf and hearing impaired, I searched for alternate tools to guide this special group of learners towards heart coherence and deeper internal integration. Not yet being a qualified Qigong teacher, I used what I knew about mindful movement, and saw amazing results in my learners and their ability to connect, not only with their own bodies, but with others, through what I then coined, “heart2heart” primordial healing art. Around that time I saw a video online on exactly how REN XUE Yuan Gong was being used in schools in Portugal to assist deaf learners. The synchronicity was wonderful and without hesitation, I took this as an answer to my ever questioning mind, of finding the one tool, that could bring balance to body, mind and soul to these learners as well as more broadly into local communities.
I am particularly passionate about encouraging Yuan Gong to become an essential part of each child/learner’s toolbox within South Africa and beyond and am actively engaging educational bodies to effect this.
I will continue to make Yuan Gong available, initially in the Western Cape area, I have recently started doing small, yet growing, woman’s groups, sharing and supporting wellness, creating body/mind awareness, and motivating community upliftment through these classes.
I facilitate most of my sessions outdoors in nature and share from the heart, my knowledge, passion and experience of this beautiful Art of Movement, Yuan Gong.

I just wanted to say thank you for the free session I recently took you up on. I have had some exposure to qigong with many years of martial arts but it was really a pleasure to experience it in such an everyday secular format.
I am on the neurodivergent spectrum and I really struggle with emotional regulation when low dopamine levels can make motivation a challenge. The exercises were mild enough to be able to regularly do without lots of resistance and they immediately got me feeling better and more in synch with my body. I dont really know many practices other than maybe yoga that have the ability to offload stress like this and when you consider the major societal impact on mental wellbeing experienced post covid, we simply Have to create more public spaces where people can have an opportunity to self regulate and integrate the maelstrom of energetic and psychosocial influences on our lives.
Our countrys former turmoil and extreme levels of inequality make this all the more important Kathy. I have a few decades experience with transformational training organisations in Africa and if I can offer one bit of unsolicited advice to your mother organisation it is that everyone underestimates the effort, time and support needed to get satellite training organisations off the ground here. I hope that your organisation can stay the course and seek to find creative solutions to identifying and nurturing dedicated teachers like yourself that can mean so much for the wellbeing of All South Africans.
Thank you once again for sharing your gift with me. I look forward to participating in another class
Yours in higher vibration–

“Taking part in a Yuan Gong session with Kathy is so nourishing to the body-mind, and absolutely wonderful!
Myself currently temporarily unemployed, being able to take part in these [free] sessions is amazing, and it also (amongst many other benefits) assists me to keep focus on my goals.
Kathy is thorough and experienced in her practice and she’s a wakeful and gracious facilitator. Her sessions are to be recommended to anyone from beginner/novice to even the very advanced yoga and meditation practitioners.”
