Zu Qigong

Connecting with the energy of Heaven and Earth. Linking mind and body, from head to toe, supporting and encouraging health and well-being.

Simple, gentle and effective.

A unique approach to energy therapy, encouraging the therapist to move out of the head and into the heart. Letting go of the conditioned clinical thinking and engaging in a holistic partnership with the client. A liberating approach for a new era.

We are all connected via the energy of the Universe. In these stressful times it is important to make space in your life for peaceful connection to the energetic matrix for support of the individual and the collective. It is time to make a conscious connection.

Qi – the energy of life. The energy of the Universe, the beautiful energy that surrounds us, enveloping and pervading everything that we are, see, feel, think, and touch. We can embrace this energy and working with care and compassion, use the energy to support and encourage health and wellbeing for ourselves and each other.

****Please note that some major changes for Zu Qigong will soon be taking place. Following my recent retirement, work is now underway to transfer the future management and development of Zu Qigong to a new team - this team is based in New Zealand. A new website will be created and once established, this current website -www.footpaththerapies will be closed. Although I will still be involved, my role will be "behind the scenes" offering support and mentoring, all training workshops and research & development will be handled by the new team. Watch this space for further information. ****

If you have previously visited this site, you may be surprised at the changes here! As you will see this website is now dedicated to all things Zu Qigong – a Zu Qigong resource for anyone interested in exploring this unique approach to therapeutic energy work.

Zu Qigong is an energy-based therapy that is accessible to everyone – in its simplest format, “Qi-Laxation” can be used by carers, nurses or members of the public looking for a way to help and support others in these stressful times, and for the experienced therapist the Zu Qigong technique, once mastered, can be used as a stand-alone therapy or blended with other therapies to support and encourage health and well-being.
