Chi Weave Healing Arts

Healing and Meditative Movement to balance body, mind and spirit

Nei Gong

A series of unique, powerful and meditative movements from the Far East, considered the older parent of Tai Chi and Chi Gong. The Ancients practiced Nei Gong to promote longevity, strengthening their immune systems to prevent disease, increasing core strength and ultimately developing their spirit. Holding and warming exercises to collect the energy are followed by a continuous dynamic movement which circulates this collected energy through the energy channels of the body.

Usui Reiki

There is a life force in this universe, that we witness in the changing seasons and the cycles of our bodies. Reiki, a term to describe this, is a practice whereby this life force energy is channelled through the practitioner to the recipient to restore balance and harmony in mind, body and spirit. Dr Usui introduced this form of Reiki in Japan during the early 20th century.

Chi Weave Healing Arts

Chi Weave, the weaving of energies within, represents a fusion of various healing techniques and unique movements that bring a sense of peace to body and mind, whilst connecting with your spirit.

Following a busy 23 years in a creative partnership involved in building houses, it was time to begin a journey of enquiry into the healing arts. The losses of close friends in my younger years had led me to question how we can take responsibility for our bodies at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels, particularly following illness and trauma. I came across an inspiring mentor, Martin Brofman, who had recovered from cancer several years earlier and shared his experience of a new way of looking at dis-ease.

In January 2003 I joined his Body Mirror System course to explore ways of healing tension in the consciousness with the principle focus on balancing the chakras.

This helped to direct my own personal development, and further study of the energy arts led to certification as a Usui Reiki Master & Teacher in 2006.

This century has seen travel to various sacred places including Egypt, Hawaii and Morocco, to expand my knowledge and awareness. Being introduced to the beautiful meditative movements of Nei Gong in Nepal 2009 opened up a new understanding of how to unblock energy through gentle yet powerful unique and ancient exercises. This led to training in Hong Kong, in order to teach.

In May 2018 my life was turned on its head when I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. By November of that year I had undergone six months of combination therapy and a stem cell transplant. I was left physically shattered and suffering from advanced peripheral neuropathy.

In desperation I turned to Macmillan Cancer, who recommended Heather for reiki therapy. From that point my life took a positive turn. I had no idea what a reiki session would be like, and being of a scientific temperament I decided before my first session that I would greet it with a completely open mind and base any conclusions on the results. What happened next was one of the strangest things that I have experienced. I shut my eyes and realised that I could feel heat on my face. I sneaked a look, and to my shock saw Heather’s hands some distance above my head! This was to be the start of a journey with reiki which I believe allowed me not only to get better, but also to thrive.

I am now having weekly sessions with her in her beautiful home sanctuary. I generally fall asleep during the sessions and awake feeling calm and positive. The reiki results in blissful sleep, which is wonderful after a period of high anxiety and insomnia.

For me, reiki has proved to have powerful emotional and physical benefits. The sessions have also resulted in a friendly relationship with Heather which has opened my mind to a greater spirituality and serenity which has positively impacted on the way that I view my life and my condition. I believe that when we are in trouble, the universe sends us people who can help us. Using my weekly reiki “power shots,” I fully intend to make my condition a part of my life, and to lead a fulfilling existence, hopefully for many years to come.

When I arrive at Heather's Neigong classes I know I'll leave at the end feeling calm, grounded and energised. Her studio in the Surrey Hills is warm and welcoming and she's a great teacher, inspiring and very patient! I highly recommend Chi Weave Nei Gong.

Heather has been giving me Reiki for about 6 months, I have loved every session and I’m hooked!. I knew nothing about it before I first tried when it was offered by MacMillan Redhill as I was recovering from Cancer. I wish I could understand, let alone explain how she does it, but the reality is that I feel re-balanced, re-energised, extremely peaceful, re-centred and at the risk of sounding corny, I actually feel loved.

As well as being a great Reiki practitioner, she is a delightful human being, she is both able to concentrate on me very deeply but also lighten up and joke when it is appropriate. For Christmas I booked her to come to our home and give Reiki to my husband and to 2 of our children who are now young adults, and they have all felt the same. I was specifically impressed by Heather’s ability to deal with our son who, being on the spectrum, was rather reluctant to try something new. He came out saying he’d like to have another session!

Since starting Nei Gong with Heather I have noticed a change in my ability to switch off from stress and just be still in the moment. This is a wonderful tool for bringing more calm and contentment into your life. Heather is an empathic, dedicated teacher and full of wisdom.

From my first session with Heather, I have felt the benefits of Reiki healing. I was in terrible pain - both emotional and physical and it seemed as though Heather was able to pinpoint exactly where to unblock and release the negative emotions trapped in my body. From not being able to walk very easily, and in tears most days, I can now honestly say that my life has taken on a new chapter. Coupled with Heather's guided meditation, Reiki healing has played an enormous part in this recovery.

I met Heather 3 years ago when Macmillan suggested I try Reiki. This was covid times so we started weekly using FaceTime. I was not in a very good way as I’d just found out I had cancer and was absolutely devastated. My mind was all over the place and I couldn’t stop crying and thinking that was it for me. We continued until we could meet face to face, which was wonderful. I started going to Macmillan to see Heather once a week. I started to get my confidence back, and even felt peaceful and happy. I still wanted to carry on so I went to Heather’s sanctuary at her home. I’m so grateful because Reiki has turned my life around. I have even been attuned by Heather to Reiki One so I can help my friends and family. I have also been going to her Nei Gong classes for a couple of years every Monday evening, and I love the gentle healing exercise. I leave feeling absolutely amazing in my mind and body. I’m so thankful to have met Heather. She is the most amazing lady - I can’t thank her enough.

Just wanted to say thank you for the class tonight. Today was the first time that I came to the class without feeling really tired and for me, that was a big deal. Have been doing the health protocol that I started 3 weeks ago and have been feeling lousy at times whilst my body has been getting used to it. First time without back pain. Your exercises are spot on.
