Circulate your Qi and restore Yin Yang balance

In Qi Gong, smooth circulation of Qi supports harmony between rest and activity, softness and strength, yin and yang.

When energy moves freely, the body feels lighter, emotions stabilise and the nervous system finds its natural rhythm.

Gentle movement, breath and awareness help clear stagnation and invite balance back into daily life. There is nothing to perfect, only a gentle return to flow.

Every human being is amazing and the body naturally moves toward harmony when supported with care.

Parkinson’s affects movement,
but it also touches love, roles and connection.

If you love someone with Parkinson’s, there may be days when your role has quietly shifted.
From partner, to organiser, to helper, to carer.

This is not about pretending it is easy. Some days are tough.
It is about choosing to stay connected and saying, this is us, together.

If you are a partner or care partner, you are very welcome here.
Join our free Breathwork class or free Qi Gong class and be supported by a community that shows up every weekday morning.

What if food could support your organs, emotions & energy?

Did you know that in Chinese Medicine, each organ is supported by specific foods and that what you eat can affect how you feel, think, and age?

I’m inviting you this special afternoon at Bantry Bookshop, where I’ll be sharing insights from my two books on food, energy, and conscious living.

I’ll also be demonstrating how to make gomasio, a simple traditional food that nourishes Kidney energy, the foundation of brain health, bones, and the nervous system.

If you’re curious about food as medicine and the Five Elements, I’d love to welcome you.

When life changes, identity can feel uncertain.

If you’re no longer defined by what you do, who are you now?

Qi Gong offers a way to reconnect with yourself beyond roles and productivity. It’s a practice of presence, not performance.
Some days you move more.
Some days you move less.
Both are enough.

During this special book launch, I will be demonstrating how to make gomasio, a traditional Japanese blend of toasted sesame seeds and sea salt.

In Chinese Medicine, gomasio gently nourishes Kidney energy, the roots of the body, supporting
• Brain health
• Strong bones
• A balanced nervous system
• Hormonal harmony

Join me this Friday at 12.30PM in Bantry Bookshop to learn how to prepare traditional gomasio and discover why this simple mineral rich condiment supports digestion, vitality and midlife wellbeing.

You will have the chance to ask questions, explore the benefits and understand how food becomes medicine in everyday life.

Come to Bantry and taste the wisdom for yourself.

If you are curious about aligning your meals with the Five Elements and experiencing food as medicine, I would be delighted to share a warm and nourishing afternoon with you.

I have been feeling quite powerless and desperately sad as I hear and see what humans are capable of when they seek / need dominance and power over others.

But I know there is Yin and Yang, that there is always light to balance the darkness, and it is up to me show up and shine my light doing what ever I love to do.

Doing it together in community brings even more support.
When I see and hear others doing the same it gives me hope.
When so much focus is given to the darkness it is easy to forget the natural law of balance.
So lets sing out, lets be the light.

The world is full of people who want the best for me and for you.
So lets sing out and be seen.

This will be the Mantra for next month in Chi Flow with Jo.

Ancient healing practices like shiatsu and acupressure may be centuries old, yet they are beautifully practical for modern life. You do not need to know all the theory to feel the benefits. What matters is how you use these tools each day to support your energy, hormones, nervous system and emotional balance.

Join me Friday, February 20 at 12.30PM at The Bantry Bookshop for a live talk on the connection between food and emotions in Chinese Medicine. I will share from my books and demonstrate how simple ingredients and kitchen rituals can nourish the Kidneys, the foundation of brain health, bones and vitality in midlife.

Come learn, taste and reconnect with wisdom that still works.

You can also join a free Qi Gong class here.

A Parkinson’s diagnosis does not just change the body, it quietly reshapes energy, work, identity, and how we measure a meaningful life.

In this podcast episode we talk honestly about early retirement, loss of momentum, nervous system fatigue, and the unexpected gift of learning to live from presence rather than pressure.

This is a conversation for anyone navigating change, slowing down, or redefining who they are becoming.

What does the Fire Horse year mean in Chinese Medicine, and why does it create burnout if not balanced?

☯️ In Chinese Medicine and the Chinese Zodiac, the Fire Horse energy of 2026 represents strong Fire and movement, ambition, speed, and intensity.

🔥When this powerful Fire energy is not gently guided, it can overwhelm the nervous system, leading to burnout, anxiety, poor sleep, irritability, and exhaustion, especially for women already running on empty.

The key is not to suppress Fire, but to tame and regulate it through grounding practices that support the Liver, Heart, and Kidneys, helping energy flow smoothly rather than burning too fast.

Qi Gong, breathwork, and food medicine are traditional ways to harmonise Fire Horse energy so it fuels vitality instead of depletion.

Curious to support your energy gently through Qi Gong exercise, breath, and food medicine as we move through 2026?

Comment YES and I’ll send you the link to the free online qigong class.

There are moments no one prepares you for when Parkinson’s changes the rhythm of work, identity, and purpose. Early retirement is not just about leaving a job, it is about grieving who you thought you would be, redefining value, and learning to live well in a new body. This blog gently explores the quiet emotional and practical shifts, and how presence, movement, and compassion can bring steadiness and meaning again.

Our Story

Shiatsu, sometimes described as acupuncture without needles, is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine that links together food, emotions, organs, colours, flavours, symptoms, senses, times of year and even times of the day, so that you can interpret moods or symptoms and heal them with food.

It’s not about fad diets, it’s about understanding the ancient simple nutritional system of Yin and Yang. With me, Joanne Faulkner and Conscious Cooking, you understand this simple system to know and embrace what food works for you.

Its about how to love yourself with food as medicine, simple.
