My Journey
A path shaped by stillness, practice, and a growing appreciation for more grounded and present ways of living.
Before stepping into this work professionally, I completed a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence and then spent around 18 years working in financial markets. That chapter of my life brought a great deal of learning and development, and over time it also led me toward deeper questions about pace, meaning, and self.
A turning toward practice
Following several years of mindfulness practice, my personal healing journey deepened after 2022.
During that time, stillness became something I came to value deeply — not as an escape from life, but as a way of meeting it with more steadiness and honesty. Tai Chi and Reiki both became meaningful parts of that unfolding. They offered different things, yet both helped me develop a more grounded and spacious relationship with myself and with life.
In 2025, I chose to follow that path more fully and become a Tai Chi instructor and Reiki practitioner.
Why I share this work
What I offer now is shaped not only by what these practices supported in me, but also by what I continue to value in them as disciplines.
I value the quiet depth of Reiki, and the way it can create a safe inward space for healing and reflection.
I value the richness of Tai Chi: its rootedness in tradition, its physical and mental benefits, its capacity to cultivate awareness through movement, and the fact that it can be both deeply meaningful and genuinely enjoyable to practise.
I also value the social dimension of teaching Tai Chi — creating spaces where people can learn, practise, and explore in company with others.
Lineage and training
I train in traditional Yang-style Tai Chi under the 6th and 7th generation of the Yang-style Tai Chi Quan lineage.
I was trained in USUI Holy Fire III Reiki under Diana Cox.
Lineage matters deeply to me. In both Tai Chi and Reiki, I have trained with teachers whose lineages can be clearly traced back to the founders of each art. That continuity brings integrity, depth, and responsibility to the work I now share.
A grounded and open approach
My background in science and analytical work remains an important part of who I am. I value honesty, clarity, and thoughtful inquiry.
At the same time, my own experience has shown me that people may connect with these practices through different languages and frameworks. Some speak naturally in terms of energy. Others connect more through embodiment, awareness, subtle perception, or nervous system regulation. My practice makes room for that range.
What matters most to me is that the work remains grounded, sincere, and open — something that can be explored with care, curiosity, and respect for experience.
What guides my work
I have come to understand stillness as something active: a way of creating space so that life can be met with more presence.
That understanding shapes how I practise, how I teach, and how I hold space for others. Whether through the physical stillness of Reiki or the moving stillness of Tai Chi, my intention is to offer practices that are grounded, meaningful, and genuinely supportive in everyday life.
Whether the interest is healing, movement, curiosity, or a deeper form of practice, there is space here to explore.
