Roxanne Chappell
Roxanne has been active in Martial Arts and Healing Arts since 1970. She earned her 2nd Degree Black Belt in Aikido while living in Tokyo, studied T’ai Chi and Qi Gong with several noted Masters, and had a vast following of students for her own classes and videos in the greater Vancouver area.
She was the founder and director of one of North America’s favourite Martial Arts camps, The Women’s Festival of Martial Arts, and after studying with some of North America’s top Ashtanga yoga instructors, she added this powerful therapy to her teachings.
In 1995 she moved to Whistler and began teaching classes and corporate workshops, and offering private treatments for emotional and physical healing using therapies such as Korean Hand Therapy (needle-less acupuncture) and Emotional Freedom Technique.
On Christmas Eve 2004 she created a unique opportunity to test these techniques on herself when she broke her back in a paragliding accident.
Even as she lay all alone at the bottom of a cliff, she started using the methods she has taught so many others, methods that probably saved her life.”KHT and EFT helped me deal with the incredible pain and fear,” she says. “And even before I could walk again I was using things like Qi Gong, yoga, and TheStick to accelerate healing.
The Neurosurgeons were baffled that she wasn’t paralyzed, and said there was nothing they could do. Within six months, she was teaching yoga again.
An inspirational, joyful healer who truly understands the challenges we can face, Roxanne has developed an international clientele for her Tarot Readings, Palmistry, and Healings.
