Belinda Hadfield
I am an Authorised Senior Instructor of the Tse Qigong Centre and teach the traditional Chinese health skills, Wild Goose (Dayan) Qigong and Chun Yuen Quan.
I live on a lifestyle block on the Kapiti Coast, New Zealand with my husband Anthony, and a variety of pets. We are fortunate to have some very beautiful covented native bush, as well as wetlands on our land, which we work at protecting and developing.
As well as offering tuition in Wild Goose Qigong and Chun Yuen Quan, and with some help from Anthony, I manage my family's farm.
My studies with the Tse Qigong Centre commenced when I accompanied Anthony on a Healthy Living Gong seminar with Sifu Neale Svenson in early 2001. Anthony was looking for a way to manage stress and I went along mainly in support of him, even though my health was not good having developed long term health issues after a bout of Glandular Fever. I was in for a surprise as after one day of Healthy Living Gong, I experienced a change in my being that encouraged me to pursue Qigong.

From then on, I regularly attended Sifu Neale's classes in Wellington to further my learning and understanding of the Kunlun Dayan Qigong System. In 2003 I was invited by the Tse Qigong Centre to attend the Wild Goose Instructors' Course in England and when Sifu Neale left New Zealand, I took over as Instructor of his Kapiti Coast class.
Tse Qigong Centre
Belinda with Master Tse
New Zealand Instructors and students enjoy a close relationship with the Tse Qigong Centre. Grandmaster Michael Tse of the Tse Qigong Centre visited Australia and New Zealand, annually prior to Covid when he would hold seminars, give demonstrations and spend valuable time with the Instructors helping them to develop their skills. During the Covid years, Grandmaster Tse offered regular tuition through the zoom facility which allowed students and instructors from all over the world to continue with their learning.
In addition to Grandmaster Tse's visits, Authorised Instructors of the Tse Qigong Centre (previous to Covid) would travel to England, often annually, to attend the Wild Goose Instructors' course where their forms are further developed, polished and tested, thus ensuring a high standard of skill is maintained. Instructor courses are also being conducted through zoom at this stage.

Understanding and practising Wild Goose Qigong and Chun Yuen Quan helps you to take responsibility for your own health, empowering you to keep well in both mind and body. - Belinda
My Teachers
Sifu Jessica Tse and Grandmaster Michael Tse
I am very grateful for the guidance and support provided by the Tse Qigong Centre and especially from my Sifu, Jessica Tse and my Sigong, Grandmaster Michael Tse.
These skills have not only helped me on a wellness path, they have become a part of my life's journey. I am passionate about their benefits and love sharing the knowledge and skills with my students. - Belinda

Something Different - Te Araroa
With good health now the norm for me, in early 2015 I suggested to Anthony that we have an adventure. So from October 2015 to January 2018 (during the summer seasons), Anthony and I walked, in large sections at a time, Te Araroa (The Long Pathway), a 3000km journey through New Zealand, starting at Cape Reinga and ending in Bluff.
I feel quite sure that it was from years of regular practise, understanding the skills and listening to my body, that enabled me to complete this journey with strength, great health and without injury. If you would like to read more about our experience, Anthony kept a great blog.....Hadfields Hiking Te Araroa
