To all our Qigong and Martial Art students, this is what I refer to often in class 🙏🙏

The calf muscles—especially the soleus and gastrocnemius—function as a “second heart” by helping push blood from the legs back toward the heart.

When they contract, the veins are compressed, and one‑way valves ensure blood moves upward. This action supports venous return and prevents blood from pooling in the lower extremities.

If activity is limited, the calf pump weakens, increasing risks of DVT, varicose veins, and chronic venous issues.

Because the soleus muscle is well-suited for endurance, it is particularly effective at sustaining the pump over time.

Strengthening and stretching the calves—via exercises like calf raises and calf stretches—enhances their function, helping maintain healthy circulation, reduce blood pressure, and protect against clot formation.

Our Story

“We’ve both been healers for a long time and share a passion to help others. We’ve walked difficult paths in the past and have learnt much along the way, which we kindly share for the benefit of any who seek it. We share many common interests some being that we are both Reiki Masters, and love the Martial Arts, and are inspired and intrigued by the Oriental medicine. It seems fitting that the universe put us together. As individuals we create ripples that uplift those around us, together we’re a powerhouse of good vibrations.”
