Feel at ease in heart, mind & body

Hi, I’m Mandy

Self-help enthusiast, art lover, nature explorer, and Zumba fan!

My journey began in my 20s, marked by the loss of my beloved Mum. In the aftermath, I grappled with overwhelming emotions that deeply affected my mind and body. While medication and counselling provided some relief, they didn’t address the root of my struggles.

Everything changed when a neighbour introduced me to Five-Element Acupuncture, a transformative experience that allowed me to reconnect with myself and heal in ways I never imagined possible.

In the early 1990s, I worked as a Project Manager in HR at Bank of America. Although I had a stable career, I felt an undeniable pull toward something more meaningful—an urge to help women like me who were struggling with anxiety and overwhelm. This desire led me to explore Five-Element Acupuncture and later mindfulness practices.

To ensure I could offer the best care, I sought guidance from respected teachers in the field, training with renowned five-element practitioners Gerad Kite and Judy Worsley. Their mentorship not only enriched my skills but also deepened my commitment to addressing the root causes of anxiety and illness, rather than just the symptoms.

Meditation has played a crucial role in my healing journey. Through daily practice, I gained self-awareness and insights into the workings of the mind, revealing how powerful mindfulness can be for those facing anxiety. In 2023, I became a certified Mindfulness Teacher to share these invaluable tools with others on their paths.

Mentoring women brings me immense joy. I cherish the opportunity to listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help others uncover their strengths and potential. Witnessing their transformations is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work.

Now, 15 years later, I’m proud to offer three distinct programmes that address the genuine challenges modern women face. Rather than seeking quick fixes, I encourage you to explore inward to realign your inner world, so you can better achieve your external goals.
