Our Story

My journey into the world of Qigong began over a decade ago during a moment of personal challenge. After years spent in a high-stress career, I found solace in an ancient practice that redefined my approach to wellness. It wasn’t just about alleviating stress; it was about cultivating a deeper connection with my body, mind, and spirit. This transformation ignited a passion within me to share Qigong with others. Establishing Ancient Alternatives Okanagan was not merely a business decision. It was a calling—a dream to create a welcoming space in Kelowna, BC, where people could embrace healing in all forms, and rediscover themselves through movement and mindfulness. I envisioned a place where the rhythms of life collide beautifully with the stillness of the spirit. Today, I am privileged to witness the profound changes Qigong brings to the lives of our practitioners. Each interaction, each class is a reminder of why I started this path. It is about community, growth, and the celebration of life’s ebb and flow.
