In the Courses and Workshops mentioned on this page, you will receive some practical tools to develop yourself. They are not meant to be group therapy sessions even though I encourage you to share your experiences of the exercises with (members of) the group. There is a minimum of four and a maximum of ten participants in each group.
All onsite Wellbeing Workshops and Courses take place at the Haelan Clinic in Crouch End, North London, N8 8DT, United Kingdom.

Wellbeing Workshops
Manage Stress and Anxiety
Mindfulness and Mindful Movements, an introduction to Mindfulness and Tai Chi/Qigong
According to research Mindfulness exercises and Tai Chi and Qigong Mindful Movements help manage or reduce symptoms caused by stress, and anxiety. Read more about the benefits here.
The aim of the taster sessions is to give you some tools to become aware what is going on for you and how to breathe, balance, calm, de-stress, energise, and focus.
You can join one or more of the one-hour Mindfulness and Mindful Movement sessions.
In the workshop you practise body and mind awareness focusing on:
- how to connect with your mind with a Mindfulness exercise
- how to breathe properly
- how to correct your posture to breathe properly
- how to connect with your body with one or two Mindful Movement exercises.
You will receive resources after the session by email so you can continue practising these activities.
After this Wellbeing Workshop, you can register for one-day Golden Spine 9 Qigong courses to keep practising Mindfulness and Mindful Movements, and/or you can subscribe to receive weekly Mindfulness Meditation exercises by email.
