Roxani Eleni Garefalaki (b. 1983) is a Five Element Acupuncturist from Athens, Greece based in London. She is an Alexander Technique teacher MSTAT and teaches Tai Chi and QiGong emphasising on their healing and meditative properties. Roxani is also an Master Usui Reiki healer and combines aromatherapy and crystal therapy in her sessions.
She started training in Tai Chi and QiGong when she was 15 and has been teaching Tai Chi and QiGong for more than 12 years, in groups, workshops and private lessons. In her QiGong teaching, she combines her deep understanding of the anatomy, physiology and use of the body through the Alexander Technique. Deepening her knowledge of Chinese medicine and of the meridian system through her acupuncture practice, her teaching has been enriched with the practice of Nei Gong- “the Inner Arts”.
Her previous background is in performing arts, having been a singer, actress and acrobat. She has trained in Harmony of Music and in classical singing, Healing through Sound and voice, Feldenkrais and Butoh in order to explore the connections between art and healing.
