I was born in a small island in the middle of the pacific ocean and spent my early childhood in an idyllic natural setting. My grandmother, `Oya´ Bitud, was a farmer, traditional herbalist, and craftsman and lived up to the ripe age of 103 years, despite Osteoporosis. She had an exemplary attitude shown in her daily life activities. To my recollection, she was a one of a kind storyteller, who synchronized songs and poems in her stories. I´ve often lost track of time, because I can ´t get enough of the mystical legends, the powerful creatures, loving people and angels, who always appear at the right time to help the poor and helpless.  What I heard orally is an ancient art, like Qi Gong.  It is alive andcan be passed on to others who can use it.

As a child, I have always enjoyed movement expression in games, dances, musical instrument demonstrations, and even in military exercises. As an adolescent, I experimented in changing my own behavioral patterns, but it was only when my children and their friends outgrew  the daily backyard games, that  I started the participatory research and obtained training in dance movement theory & practice focused on the body & mind.

Prior to my very first Qi gong experience, I first had the privilege of completing a body-focused practice called Nia (Neuromuscular Integrative Action).  For me, my five years as a holistic dance teacher are not unlike external martial arts training, which is indispensable for training internal martial arts, such as Qi Gong. 

Up to the present, I not only obtained a Qi Gong certification, but also an official certification from the People ´s Republic of China in the advance level Daoist medicine.  I have found that the basic healing techniques of acupressure, moxibustion, cupping, scraping, fire healing, etc., including the higher Daoist arts Yi Jing, chanting, and rituals, all leads to the facilitation of self-elimination and self-healing capacities.
