Testimonials

"Hi Celia, Just wanted to say thank you for the knowledge and inspiration you shared yesterday at the retreat. I enjoyed it immensely and did such a lovely practice and meditation last night, which was enhanced by the retreat earlier in the day. I have been feeling fantastic today, and I am teaching a class this afternoon and will be doing my meditation this evening. So looking forward to it!"

Julie Gibbs, Australia

"I have enjoyed my learning through CPD20 Yuan Qigong: Heal your Heart, Heal your Body immensely. The amount of information and knowledge that all teachers have shared has been greatly appreciated. The required readings, class discussions, and resources referred to have opened my mind to soooo much knowledge. Have loved it and am sure will continue to do so in the future. Separately, the support provided has been excellent. Thank YOU!"
