At the age of 30, Vanessa had surgery to remove cancer from her small intestine. She had a deep sense that this was a wake-up call and there was something to learn.
Soon she came across Qigong, and started learning and practicing this ancient Chinese moving meditation. She began to feel the Qi (life force/energy) moving through her body and experienced a deep sense of calm, which helped her handle her diagnosis with more ease.
Vanessa believes this practice works on the whole of her life to improve the health of her body, mind and Qi. She now teaches Qigong and continues to practice every day. Vanessa has now been free of cancer for 20 years.
