Nicole Bachel
Nicole Bachel is Austrian-born, lived most of her adult life in the United States and currently resides in Brussels.
She has split her recent professional careers between luthier work, mostly repairing guitars, and as a Shiatsu practitioner. Her TCM-based Shiatsu Therapy training, completed in 2008, included the study of macrobiotics and the energetics of food, from which she draws to promote a balanced wholefoods diet.
She started her Qigong studies in 2004 via a certified instructor of the Healing Tao in Delaware, USA, and gives occasional individual and group instruction of seated and moving meditation.
Furthermore, Nicole holds a Shodan in Shurite-Shaolin since 2005. She draws from her martial arts training to incorporate the breath, stretching and core applications, into the Qigong sessions.
In 2016 she presented a Self-care for Musicians course at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. The aim of the course was to help musicians increase body awareness, mental focus through meditative breath exercises and moving meditation, as well as provide nutritional advice, self-acupressure point application, self-massage and stretching exercises to give a performer tools to develop balanced practice routines and day-of-performance routines.
