Living Life in Joy

People sometimes ask why I chose the name Living Life in Joy.

I chose it in 2013, when I returned to Canada—not because my life had been easy, but because, through all the adventures, losses, challenges, and unexpected turns, I had discovered a place within me that remained joyful.

Joy had become the place from which I was living.

People could feel it. They asked me about it, and I wanted others to experience it too. Over time, however, I came to understand that I could not give anyone joy. Each person has to discover it within themselves.

Long before I found Qigong, I was learning to trust the wisdom of my body and the quiet knowing that guided me. Qigong did not give me that wisdom or joy. It gave me a language and a practice that helped me understand what I had already been experiencing throughout my life.

My work is not about asking you to believe what I believe.

Nor is it about giving you all the answers.

It is about creating space for you to slow down, listen more deeply, and rediscover the wisdom, peace, and joy already within you.

Through Qigong, reflection, conversation, and stories from my own life, I offer a gentle invitation to come home to yourself.

My hope is not that you think like me or live as I have lived.

My hope is that you become more true to yourself and learn to trust the wisdom of your own body.

Still learning. Still growing. Still becoming.
