Mandy passionately believes that we can proactively influence our mental and physical health, both individually and on a broader scale
Mandy has taught and practiced mindful meditation, Tai Chi and Qigong for the past 10 years. This has provided her with experiential insight into the strength, resilience, compassion and humility that comes from these ancient practices. It’s a gift.
