About Sara
With nearly three decades immersed in transformative practices, my journey began in 1993 when I first learned meditation from monks in a traditional setting. That early exposure to deep states of awareness ignited a lifelong dedication to exploring the nature of human consciousness and the subtle energy that underpins our experience.
Academically, I hold a degree from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), where I cultivated a scholarly foundation in Eastern wisdom traditions. My studies encompassed New Religious Movements, Transpersonal Psychology, Shamanism, Jungian thought, and various Mystical Traditions—an intellectual framework that continues to inform and deepen my experiential work.
Although I started learning Qigong from Buddhist monks, it was in 2015 that I became a certified Qigong teacher, which added a vital dimension to my practice: the ability to engage directly with the body’s energetic systems. This marked a pivotal shift, as I saw how energy-based practices can open doorways to states of being that often remain inaccessible through conventional approaches. Although my interest in energy healing and psychic development began in 2002, it was the discovery of Zhineng Qigong that provided me with a truly profound and integrative system—one that continues to guide and inspire my work today.
Our Values
Guided by a holistic view of well-being, empowerment, science and ancient wisdom, Hearts Qi fosters a community rooted in compassion, authenticity, and heart-mind wisdom. These values form the foundation of our practice, supporting personal growth and inspiring harmony within ourselves and the world around us.
Our Mission
Our mission is to cultivate well-being, inner peace, and personal growth through the energetic foundations of Qigong and meditation. Grounded in concentration, calm, and insight, our practices integrate the timeless wisdom of ancient traditions with the latest scientific understanding. By harmonising these elements, we support individuals in finding balance, enhancing self-awareness, and fostering a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.
