About me

Let me introduce myself: I'm Geneviève Grandbois, a passionate Qigong practitioner and certified teacher since 2019.

My whole life has been about realizing projects and living out my passions, which have slowly taken the form of an art of living that I can share. I love everything that tastes good and feels good, which is why I love sharing this practice with you.

I've been an actress, chocolatier, entrepreneur and lecturer for over 30 years. I've been lucky enough to be able to express my creativity and passion in chocolate, with a company that has won numerous awards for the finesse and quality of its products and the audacity of its creations.

Following an accident that left me with chronic pain, and with the aim of alleviating it, Qigong became an accomplice that lives at the heart of my daily life. I've seen a gradual improvement in every aspect of my life: my health, for one thing, but also a natural, calm state that has taken hold day by day.

The more I practiced, the more I had the impetus, as with chocolate or conferences, to know more and more and, above all, to live it. My new personal mission became clear: to feel good and share it. REN XUE's mission "To uplift your self and help others" resonated strongly with who I am.

As an eternal student, my favorite subjects are relaxation, creativity, the mechanisms of our personality, wellness, health, living and tonic food, consciousness, breathing and, of course, Qigong...

I was lucky enough to start with traditional Shaolin Qigong and Chen Taiji, which gave me a solid foundation. Then I fell in love with Zhineng Qigong, which stayed with me for five years. I also discovered "health" Qigong.

Finally, I discovered the REN XUE school, of which I am certified. The system I now teach is a synthesis of everything I'd discovered before, delving into subjects such as improving our energy through movement, our breathing, our state of health, our connection to the heart and its qualities, and the mechanisms of our consciousness.

Yuan Qigong is based on the understanding and application of various disciplines in the traditional Chinese culture such as Daoism, Confucianism etc , combined with the contemporary creativity of its founder, Yuan Tze. The assiduous practice of these nine methods has shown me that this Qi gong has a powerful effect on my life, while being safe and accessible.

It's with great pleasure that I invite you to share these wonderful tools with me, through private online classes, or face-to-face, together for greater conviviality and precision. There are also group courses, retreats and trips, which offer the added energy of a group.

I currently divide my time between Canada and Costa Rica.

I look forward to seeing you soon, and to sharing this art of living that is so sweet and delicious.
