Gift: Qi Gong Practitioner
Biography: Having always felt somewhat of a misfit, Luiza searched for answers outside her immediate culture and turned to Eastern traditions to find them. She learnt Transcendental Meditation when it was not a cool thing to do, and got into yoga as she was recovering from chronic fatigue in her 20s. It became her daily companion and eventually a profession, first studying with the Iyengar family in India and then Donna Farhi who opened her eyes to the world of somatic movement.
For many years she was driven to explore many healing modalities and dragged her weary husband Stephen all over the world in search of healers and shamans. Then, she stumbled into a Qi Gong class by chance, and it was a revelation – the ease of movement, the immediate sensation of aliveness and the feeling of deep connection to Nature. Many years of practice later, Qi Gong is where she gets her daily kicks from.
Why we love Luiza: As you can feel from Luiza’s history and life journey, she has an infectious curiosity for life. She’s travelled and lived in many parts of the world, which has opened her mind to many possibilities and eventualities and gives her a unique grounding in her work, and her being. She laughs often, and by that very nature, she is able to hold many emotions, and as her practice demonstrates, she can shift you through strong energies. It’s a beautiful practice from a beautiful lady who loves to support others and her community, from a gentle and kind holding.
Services: A teacher of Qi Gong to small groups and individuals either online or from her home in Richmond, with it’s beautiful walled garden.
