Our 
Story

James Brett — Coach | Facilitator | Clarity Catalyst | Qi Gong & Nei Gong Practitioner | Gene Keys Guide | Gong Fu Tea Practitioner 

 

James brings over 30 years of experience in personal development, energy practices, healing work, discovering both clarity and peace. His path began with a deep need to understand himself, shaped by early life experiences that led him to explore how we grow, heal, and thrive as human beings.

 

A recent journey through stage 3 cancer became a turning point that deepened his connection to what truly matters. Through Taoist practices like Nei Gong and Qi Gong, Tea Ceremonies, cultivating peace and harmony, he rebuilt his energy, resilience, and sense of vitality—showing how powerful the human body and spirit can be when given the right support.

 

James combines practical tools, energetic insight, and a calm, grounded presence to help others find clarity, restore balance, and move through life with greater purpose. His approach is especially supportive for those navigating stress, change, wishing to unlock their full potential, or seeking deeper connection—in themselves or their relationships.

 

He also works with the land through biodynamics and permaculture, knowing that true wellbeing includes how we live with nature and the world around us.

 

Lisa Crawford — Somatic Facilitator | Integrated Human Design & Gene Keys Guide

 

Lisa brings a warm and grounded approach to supporting personal and relational transformation. With over 20 years of experience in somatic movement, energy work, and emotional wellbeing, she helps people reconnect to their vitality, creativity, and inner strength.


Her own experience of burnout and the ongoing transition through peri-menopause has led her to reclaim her energy and sense of self. She supports others with her insights, compassion, and practical tools to meet people where they are.

 

Lisa blends breathwork, various embodied movement and reflective practices to help people reconnect to their natural rhythms, release what no longer serves, and return to a state of ease and alignment.

 

As a dedicated student of Nei Gong and Satva Yoga, she is deepening her own practice of cultivating internal harmony and energy, which enriches the way she holds space for others.

 

Together: A Balanced & Supportive Team

 

As partners in life and practice, James and Lisa offer a unique balance of presence, insight, and grounded care. Their different strengths create a rich, safe space for exploration—combining stillness and movement, reflection and action.

 

Whether guiding individuals, groups or couples, they help people slow down, reconnect with what matters, and restore a sense of balance, energy, and purpose in daily life.
