My Journey

My Journey

If someone had told me twenty years ago that one day I would be teaching Qi Gong and helping other women restore their energy, balance, and wellbeing, I probably would have smiled in disbelief.

For much of my life, I defined myself through my work.

For more than thirty years, I worked as a conference interpreter, collaborating with international organizations, institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and teaching hospitals. I loved my work and the opportunities it gave me. But like many women, while building my career and raising my children, I learned to put responsibilities before my own needs.

I kept going. Always.

I thought being tired was normal. I thought living under constant pressure was simply part of life. I told myself there would be time to rest later.

But “later” never seemed to arrive.

For years, I lived with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, digestive issues, and the frustrating feeling that no matter what I did, I could never fully recover my energy. When I was eventually diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, many pieces of the puzzle finally started to make sense.

But the diagnosis was only the beginning.

For the first time, I began asking myself not only what was happening to my body, but why.

That question led me down a path that would transform my life. I explored nutrition, Integrative Health Coaching, meditation, breathwork, energy practices, and later the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Then I discovered Qi Gong.

And something shifted.

For the first time, I was no longer trying to fix my body or fight my symptoms. I was learning how to listen.

I began to understand that wellbeing is about much more than what we eat or the treatments we follow. It is also shaped by how we live, the stress we carry, the way we use our energy, and the space we create for rest, presence, and self-care.

Over the years, I have learned that the body has an extraordinary ability to restore balance when we stop working against it and start supporting it.

Today, I work with women who feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves.

Many are navigating hormonal changes, thyroid conditions, autoimmune challenges, chronic stress, or simply the consequences of years spent taking care of everyone else while neglecting their own needs.

They are capable, intelligent, generous women. Women who show up for everyone around them, yet often leave themselves until last.

Through Qi Gong, Integrative Health Coaching, the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and slower, more intentional living, I help them restore their energy, find balance, and rebuild trust in their bodies.

I do not believe in quick fixes.

I believe in small, sustainable changes that, over time, create profound transformation.

I believe wellbeing comes not from doing more, but from living in a way that is more aligned with our needs, our rhythms, and our true nature.

Perhaps that is why I called my project The Bridge.

Because, in many ways, my whole life has been a bridge.

A bridge between cultures.

A bridge between East and West.

Between mind and body.

Between doing and being.

Between living under constant pressure and learning to slow down.

Today, my work is to be that bridge for other women.

A bridge between exhaustion and vitality.

Between overwhelm and balance.

Between surviving and living with greater energy, presence, and ease.

If you feel that this may be your time to care for yourself differently, I would be honoured to walk that path with you.
