About Uta
Many years ago the practice of Qi Gong acted as a catalyst to bring about
a major needed change in my life.
I then discovered the teachings of Taoist Master Mantak Chia and a whole new world opened up to me. The Taoist sexual practices and Tantra were
the answer to a searching in me.
Around the same
time I realised that my interests lay in complementary therapies
and I started to explore various systems of healing. This journey
led me through reiki, homeopathy, shiatsu, tai chi, chi kung, meditation and yoga.
Realising the importance of our mind in creating health and well-being has led me to study NLP and to become a certified Master Practitioner.
I then completed my training in Shiatsu, a therapy that is deeply rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and became a fully qualified practitioner. I worked for several
years as a Shiatsu Practitioner mainly treating people recovering from substance misuse and addiction.
At the same time I had been training in the Taoist Arts and I became a certified Universal Healing Tao instructor teaching the practices brought to the West by Mantak Chia.
I am passionate about heart-centred sexuality and sacred sexual healing. I hold a Certificate in Sex Education from the IASHS (Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality) and I am in on-going training with teachers of sacred sexuality as well as continue deepening my knowledge of modern western approaches to sexual healing.
About Manawa
Manawa is dedicated to assisting you on your journey of personal growth, conscious living and heart-centred sexuality.
The word Manawa can be found in several languages - Maori, Native American and Hawaiian.
Manawa means "Heart, Peace & Comfort".
Mana also is "Life Force" or "Chi" and Manawa stands for "Directing Chi".
Manawa is a keyword in Kahuna philosophy. Serge Kahili King in his book 'Kahuna Healing' translates it from the Hawaiian as:
"Your moment of Power is Now.
You are not bound by any experience of the past or any perception of the future, for the past is only a memory and the future a mere possibility. You have the power in the present moment to change limiting beliefs and consciously plant the seeds for a future of your choosing. As you change your mind, you change your experience."
