Elise is an inspirational and patient Qi Gong teacher. Practising these gentle but effective exercises with Elise’s online class has been hugely enriching. Helped make lockdown not just bearable, but fun! Thoroughly recommended.

Absolutely AMAZING! I can’t say enough great things about Elise. She’s a truly gifted teacher and healer. I had back surgery a year and a half ago, and have had some residual problems and limitations. With her strong knowledge base and years of experience, Elise has been tremendously helpful to me. She is thorough, gentle, intuitive, caring and talented.

I am so pleased that I discovered Elise and Qi Gong. During lockdown it has really kept me grounded and has actually helped me with some health issues. I definitely want to continue doing it. Elise is brilliant!

Mary-Anne

I wanted to say how much I’m enjoying the Qi Gong classes. I particularly enjoy the holistic approach to exercise using rhythmical movements, breathing techniques and meditation. This enhances my physical and mental well-being.

Doing Qi Gong with Elise is a unique, truly uplifting and gently energising experience.

Qi Gong for me is like moving meditation. It brings calmness and gently keeps my entire body supple and in balance. The more I practise, the more I am able to refine my movement, quieten my mind and be sensitive to my changing body’s needs. These are all important tools which has helped me through my pregnancy.
