Meet Katie Brindle: Chinese Medicine & Healing Expert

Meet friend of Wellbeing Escapes, Katie Brindle, a leading practitioner of Chinese medicine and holistic healing. Learn how she empowers clients with self-care tools, sound therapy, and ancient wisdom for modern wellbeing.

Katie Brindle is a practitioner of Chinese medicine, self-health expert and author of the bestselling Yang Sheng: The Art of Chinese Self-Healing. She is the founder of the Hayo’u Method, which translates the principles of Chinese medicine into simple, practical self-care techniques for a modern Western lifestyle.

Her work focuses on empowering individuals to take an active role in their own wellbeing, helping them maintain health and reduce reliance on external healthcare systems.

Katie is also a leading voice in Qi Gong practice, a key pillar of Chinese medicine. She describes it as an internal form of exercise, combining slow, mindful movement with breath, sound and intention. Often used as a self-healing practice, Qi Gong is associated with supporting relaxation, energy flow and overall wellbeing, and is accessible to a wide range of abilities due to its gentle nature.
