about the host

Greetings, I'm Patrick, a seasoned Tai Chi and Qi Gong practitioner and teacher with over two decades of dedicated experience.

At 44, my journey has not only been for personal self growth but a commitment to sharing the transformative power of these ancient practices while translating them into modern lifestyles.

Amidst teaching mindfulness and meditation at two colleges in Athens, I am also immersed in the study of psychology, complementing the holistic approach to well-being.

Having honed my skills through seminars, workshops, and competitions across Europe and Asia, I continue to evolve under the guidance of my esteemed teacher, engaging in weekly training sessions.

The dividends of my Tai Chi journey are profound; I revel in a heightened sense of health, both physically and mentally.

I find myself more resilient, agile, and mentally sharp, equipped to navigate life's challenges without succumbing to stress.

Remarkably, my journey has been therapy-free.

Understanding the pervasive stress and pressures of modern life, I've curated a unique program designed to offer you not just a break but a transformative experience.

Join me in exploring the art of relaxation, seamlessly integrating these methods into your bustling routine.

Let's embark on a journey together – where wellness is not just a goal but a way of life.
