After 25 years in the luxury retail industry, as a trainer and coach, I decided to actually do what my mind and body had been telling me. This was the realisation I wanted to help people on a larger scale.In September 2021 I formed my business, i-Qi-coaching LTD, and latterly the Breathe Better Clinic to help individuals and groups manage their breathing anxiety and stress levels. It was a great privilege to have been able to help individuals within my former company manage and overcome their issues, also coach them in breathing and meditation techniques alongside critical thinking and well-being practices.Having studied and then taught tai chi for 20 years, and within this, the further disciplines of breathing, meditation and qigong, I wanted to help people explore the understanding of their minds and bodies and felt now was the time to explore this passion in the wider world.Becoming an accredited well-being coach and then a Buteyko & Oxygen Advantage breathing instructor, along with meditation and understanding mental health courses, has helped to cement not only my knowledge, but also the purpose as to what I wish to do, which is ultimately help people live simpler and more fulfilled lives.At i-Qi-coaching, our values are:simplicity - compassion - balance. Each one feeds into the other. I have now opened the Breathe Better Clinic for face to face and online appointments, as well as giving talks on improving and being more cognisant of our breathing. I give workshops for medical centres and charities alongside businesses and run a 6-week course for people with various forms and stages of cancer.i-Qi-coaching and the Breathe Better Clinic were formed to help you create greater clarity in your mind, become more resilient, and strengthen the ties of your mind and your body to give people the confidence to be who they wish to be. Helping people manage their breathing whether they have issues such as asthma, COPD, high blood pressure, PTSD, long covid, chronic fatigue syndrome, snoring, sleep apnoea, or you need help in improving your fitness levels and creating greater endurance and improved recovery, or indeed, being seated at your desk and having the ability to align your body and breathe with greater efficiency.To be able to change the way people feel through breath retraining and give them foundational confidence and purpose, is profoundly fulfilling.
