There’s a talk with the gentle exercise and I’ve found it to be very informative. I’ve meditated faithfully for 30 years and experienced enormous changes in my life and to have this extra top-up with Qi Gong has been a surprise.

The staff here are friendly and knowledgeable. They have created a welcoming space of safety and relaxation. With skilled female practitioners who are like-minded and caring, there’s an empathetic dynamic. The Centre meets my needs as a 65 year old woman, body, mind and spirit.

It is quiet, peaceful and not on a main road, so the lack of traffic helps to maintain that peaceful environment. The atmosphere is egalitarian, comfortable and easy going. There’s a greater respect from both staff and clients that I have found lacking elsewhere and I’ve experienced understanding and like-mindedness at this women-only health centre.

Women doctors weren’t around when I was in my 20s so to have them here now is wonderful. Throughout my life, I have found male doctors appalling. I had ongoing cystitis in my 20s which became stressful. I was sent for an x-ray by my male doctor whose only comment on the results was that I had good child-bearing hips. I was unimpressed with his attitude. I’ve never forgotten his words.

In this Centre, the women-only focus offers an essential service for me and I would imagine it’s the same for everyone who comes here. I can’t speak highly enough. I just love it.
