About Flowing Health
Founded in 1995, Flowing Health has helped thousands of people take control of their health, reconnect with themselves and create balance in their health, personal lives, and work place.
This was especially rewarding during & after the recent pandemic when we all became more aware of the importance of keeping our immune system optimised.
Qigong is suitable for all levels of fitness and ages.
Fascinated by human nature as I am, I have attended courses with experts on Sound Alchemy, Organisational Leadership, Family Constellations and have a continuing interest in Buddhism, Daoism.
I recently trained with Mental Health First Aid England and am part of England's largest community of trained MHFAiders®. I have also attended groups and workshops with the Mankind Project for over 3 years.
In early 2020 the Flowing Health Membership was launched which is an accessible and affordable way for people to access this powerful practice and enjoy the benefits of Qigong online.
“What I especially liked about Alessandro’s style is his beautiful blend of gravitas, credible expertise and compassion. This enables him to appeal to the corporate/business community in a way that maybe others offering wellbeing services may not.”

An adventurous childhood - an Italian boy, having lived in multiple countries including Indonesia, Italy (Sardinia), Tanzania, Yugoslavia, Turkey & the UK all by the age of 9, when I came to study in the UK.
I currently live in beautiful London.
From a young age, I was always searching for deeper meaning in life,
I was tired of feeling disconnected and uninspired.
I lacked a sense of Inner peace or Purpose.
Until one weekend in 1988.
When I attended an event that changed everything – and for the first time, I sensed an Energy beyond my own.
Qigong was introduced into my life.
I’ve been practicing ever since – that journey began over 35 years ago.
Your health is priceless.

Winner of the 2020/21 & 2022/3 Spiritual Health Professional of the Year!
I shared a lovely online session with Alessandro earlier this week – it was an early evening Monday slot and I came into it with my thoughts buzzing from a manic day responding to client and prospect requests, dealing with my kids and also formalising our business strategy.
I explained all of this to Alessandro and literally within moments I was becalmed, my brain whirring subsided and I felt instantly lighter. It’s like he sprinkled magic dust on me to achieve my quietened state of mind in such a short space of time, despite the fact I was in my work zone, at my work laptop and in work clothes – what a gift!
Subsequent to this I had a great, relaxing evening, was patient with the kids trivial matters, and enjoyed a beautifully sound and deep night’s sleep.
In the session there was nothing strenuous, it was really easy to follow Alessandro’s instructions despite the fact I am a complete Qigong beginner. He explained what we were doing and why which I really appreciated so I begin to understand it all better.
Alessandro is an active listener and really tailored the session to suit me. He also gave me some great tips and techniques to work on by myself, particularly when I’m a little overwhelmed from spinning several plates!
I can’t wait for our next session...

Thank you so much for the session last Friday. It was awesome.
Alessandro is an amazing practitioner.
I experienced a true healing with Alessandro.
Before the treatment I was tired and low energy, but as he proceeded the session,I began to feel relaxed, energised and a lightness of body.
By the end of the session I felt 100% better and was able to remain active throughout the day.
If you are on a healing path or just need an energetic boost I would recommend Alessandro.

About Qigong
Qigong is a 4000 year old healing Art .
Qi (pronounced Chi) means Energy.
The Energy that is naturally flowing in the body which permeates all living things & gives us life.
When the Qi is weak, the body is weak; when the Qi is blocked the body gets sick; when the Qi stops flowing, there is no life.
The Cultivation of Qi, known as Qigong, awakens and improves physical and mental health and helps to actualise all personal potential.
This style of QiGong , (Hua Gong) is a simple artistic style of Qigong.
A self healing form focusing on cultivating health in body , mind & spirit.
Hua means transformation, integration and liberation.
It is mainly practiced through simple energetic body movements and breathing techniques.
I have been practicing for over 35 years with my teacher, Zhixing Wang, and teaching groups, corporate, 1 to 1 and online for over 20 years .
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is Qigong suitable for any age?
Yes, these simple gentle movements can be done safely at any age. They can be done standing up, sitting down and lying down depending on your health condition. Children are very aware and sensitive to the Qi/Energy and you may enjoy the Qi Bambini series designed for children and teenagers.
How does Qigong improve your health?
Qigong can help prevent illness keeping you physically strong and mentally clear as you help the energy flow and balance in your body.
Qigong helps keep the internal organs healthy, body oxygenated through breath work and clears energy blocks that may cause daily aches and pains which if left unattended could lead to more serious & chronic problems.
Can Qigong help recovery from serious illness ?
Yes, the healing power of Qigong is probably the most important reason for its popularity. Many people have recovered from serious illness and experienced profound transformation in their health and life with dedicated Qigong practice.
Is Longevity a goal of Qigong?
Daoist Masters take longevity as the highest goal of Qigong practice. Dying of illness is like a flame blowing out in the middle of a candle.
Sustaining good health to the very end of our life is the real test of a high level accomplishment of Qigong practice.
What’s the difference between Qigong and Tai Chi?
Qigong and Tai Chi are both ancient practices that lead to improved health, fitness, wellbeing and longevity for countless individuals up to the present time. They both cultivate the Qi, also spelt Chi -- the life energy that flows through the body’s energy pathways -- by combining movement, breathing and meditation. Tai Chi and Qigong have in common the same basic property (Qi), the same fundamental principle (relaxation), and the same fundamental method (slowness).
Tai Chi is a series of forms which are not repeated as in Qigong; instead one form is followed by another, with each form an integral part of the next to make up a continuous flowing movement.
The Qigong form I teach is called Hua Gong , a Self healing form, easy to follow and learn & very effective for helping you take more control of your health.
“Qigong really does help clear the mind, increase focus, and re-energise. I came away feeling physically and mentally de-stressed and learnt effective qigong exercises that can be quick and simple to practice in daily life.”
