      <image:title>About Me - Meet Amee</image:title>
      <image:caption>My journey toward healing movement &amp; sound For many years, I believed staying active meant pushing harder, doing more, and moving through discomfort. After experiencing my own injuries, chronic pain, and the challenges of recovery, I began searching for a different approach — one that honored the body instead of fighting against it. Through therapeutic yoga, mindful movement, Qigong, and sound therapy, I discovered the importance of slowing down, listening, and creating space for the body to restore balance. Before beginning Cardinal Direction Wellness, I spent over 30 years serving and supporting others through my career in public safety. During that time, I witnessed how stress, trauma, and life’s challenges can affect both the body and mind. That experience deepened my passion for helping others discover practices that encourage relaxation, resilience, and a greater connection with themselves. Today, my passion is helping others — especially those experiencing pain, stiffness, stress, injury, or changes that come with aging — discover that movement can feel good again. You do not have to be flexible. You do not have to be experienced. You simply have to begin.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Qigong Mindful Movement - Qigong Movement &amp; Meditation</image:title>
      <image:caption>Reconnect with your body through gentle movement, breath, and awareness. Qigong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is a gentle movement practice that combines slow flowing movements, mindful breathing, and relaxation techniques. Often described as a moving meditation, Qigong helps calm the mind, relax the body, and create a greater sense of balance and well-being. The movements are simple, low-impact, and can be adapted for all ages and abilities. No experience is needed — just come as you are. Then add: Qigong may support:  Relaxation &amp; stress reduction  Balance and stability  Gentle mobility  Body awareness  Mind-body connection  Overall wellness Private &amp; Small Group Sessions I offer personalized Qigong sessions designed around your needs and comfort level. Sessions may include: gentle flowing movements breathing practices meditation relaxation techniques Practice in my peaceful studio space or schedule a private small group experience. Your practice does not have to be complicated. Sometimes the smallest, gentlest movements create the greatest change.</image:caption>
