Instructor


My name is Shirley Amatsakio.
I am a Qigong Coach, specialised in teaching the Golden Spine 9 Qigong.
I am trained at the London School of Qigong, and the Holistic Healing College, approved by the professional body the Complementary Medical Association (CMA). I am a member of the CMA and abide to their Code of Ethics.


My background is in education, counselling and psychotherapy; my heart lies in empowering others. 

I support you to change positively by practising the art of Qigong.

I have been exercising various Chinese Martial Arts forms for nearly thirty years. 

On my journey of mastering different forms, I found an easy to learn, profound and intriguing system: the Golden Spine Qigong.
I am now passing the form on to my students so they experience their flow of energy, to help them heal and grow.

I discovered Qigong in an emotionally overwhelming time for me. A time wherein I changed environment: a new job, a new home. My mind worked overtime: the "What if it doesn't work out?" - thoughts took over. I felt stretched and stressed. My body felt extremely tired.  
Practising Qigong brought peace, quiet and balance in my body and mind. Peace and quiet to let these emotions, feelings and thoughts be, going through them and letting them flow. 

When you join one of my classes, I will take you on a journey of connecting your body and mind, and changing your perspective in how you approach overwhelm, simply by focusing on your breath,  moving slowly whilst encouraging you to increase your awareness.
