An introduction
What is qigong?
Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is an ancient Chinese inner martial art that uses movement, breath and attention to work deliberately with the body’s energy and internal state.
Some of what happens in qigong is easy to describe in familiar terms: slower breathing, greater body awareness, focused attention, improved coordination and a calmer nervous system. Qigong traditionally goes further, working with the concept of qi — the vital energy that moves through and around us.
Movement
Deliberate forms that develop coordination, strength, mobility and body awareness.
Breath
Breathing practices that help regulate your internal state and bring greater steadiness and focus.
Attention
Learning to place and sustain awareness — in the body, the movement and the present moment.
Energy
The traditional qigong practice of sensing, cultivating and directing qi.
At its simplest, qigong is a way of becoming more skilful with your own energy.

THE COACHING EXPERIENCE
What happens in a coaching session?
Psychospiritual coaching is, first and foremost, a conversation. We look at what’s happening in your life, where you feel stuck, what may be changing, and what you want to understand or move towards. I work intuitively, but practically. Depending on what’s useful, we might explore patterns, beliefs, relationships, decisions, energy, intuition or the bigger questions underneath what’s going on. I may also draw on embodied practices, qigong or astrological insight.
You don’t hand over your judgement. The work is about developing more of your own.
Psychospiritual coaching is intended for personal reflection and development. It does not diagnose or treat medical or psychological conditions, guarantee outcomes, or replace appropriate professional care.
MEET JOSIE
Energy work for modern life.
Josie’s work sits at the intersection of energy, intuition and self-understanding. She is a qualified Kuan Yin Qigong instructor, psychospiritual coach and intuitive practitioner, with a particular interest in how ancient practices can be used in ordinary modern life. Her approach is grounded and exploratory. Alongside qigong and energy work, she draws on mindfulness, embodied practice, astrology and intuitive perception. Away from this work, Josie has spent nearly two decades in technology and communications, and is a PhD researcher in digital anthropology. She is also a First Dan black belt in Shotokan Karate. This combination shapes how she practises: curious about what we don’t yet fully understand, but interested in what is useful, observable and applicable in real life.
