About Me

I am a registered nurse specialising in psychiatric nursing in Fremantle, Western Australia.
I am also a research nurse working with professors from Curtin University to open the first clinic in Australia helping people with mental illnesses from a physical and wholistic perspective.

My passion is Kung Fu, Qigong and other internal ancient Chinese arts and practices and alongside my fiancé I wish to make the world a better place by teaching these arts. Please see www.qi.org.au if you are interested.
I am currently writing a Masters by research, "The Effects of Qigong on Stress & Wellbeing"

I am in Singapore with my fiancé and friend to learn Medical Qigong from Grant Master Tan
And to give presentations at Curtin University, Singapore to raise funds for our Buddhist teacher, Vello Väärtnõu. A very wise old Estonian, Tibetan Buddhist Monk who wishes to build a temple, stupas, prayer wheels, library and other holy structures in Australia to help integrate Buddhism to the west before he leaves this Earth.
