Meet Helen Rowlands

Helen Rowlands is a certified Holden QiGong Teacher and Rapid Coherence Integration™ practitioner based on the Gold Coast, Australia. She works with people online worldwide and in person on the Southern Gold Coast.

Helen came to this work through her own long search for something that actually worked — for her body, her nervous system, and her sense of self. Chronic health challenges that began early in life led her to explore widely: from energy work and somatic practice to the Erotic Blueprints™ and Taoist arts. What she found, and what she now brings to every class and session, is a deeply feminine, body-first approach that goes beyond movement and conversation to produce shifts that last.

Why Choose Pleasure Waves

What makes Pleasure Waves different

Two practices. One practitioner.

Most Qi Gong teachers offer movement. Most coaches offer conversation. Helen offers both — in one coherent approach that works with your body and your energy at the same time. This is what makes lasting change possible, not just fleeting insight.

Sessions long enough to let the change land.

Pleasure Waves Coaching sessions run 90 minutes — not because more time means more work, but because integration is where the shift actually happens. The extended format is intentional. You leave feeling settled, not raw.

Teaching from lived experience, not a textbook.

Helen's depth of understanding comes from her own long healing path — through chronic health challenges, a marriage that was in trouble and instead became extraordinary, and decades of genuine practice. She has found what works.

Exceptionally clear instruction.

Across both Qi Gong and Pleasure Waves Coaching, clients consistently note that Helen explains things in a way that makes them feel understood rather than instructed. Her language is warm, specific, and unhurried. You will never feel judged for not knowing something, or rushed to feel something you do not yet feel.

What Clients Say

Stories of Change

How It Works

1

Book a complimentary Curiosity Call

A relaxed 30-minute conversation with Helen — no obligation, no pressure. You'll get a feel for the work, ask whatever is on your mind, and Helen will let you know honestly whether Qi Gong, coaching, or both might be the right fit for you.

2

Choose your starting point

Start with a Qi Gong class — a gentle, low-risk way to experience the practice and feel what it does in your body. Others come straight to a 90-minute coaching session. There is no wrong entry point.

3

Show up and notice

Qi Gong classes run for one hour online or in person. Coaching sessions run for 90 minutes and include movement, processing, and integration time. Nothing is rushed. You do not need to prepare anything or understand anything in advance.

4

Feel the shift

Most clients notice something shifts within a single session. Some describe it as a release of tension they did not realise they were holding. Others notice more ease in their body throughout the following week. The work is cumulative — each class or session builds on the last.

5

Deepen the practice

Many clients move between Qi Gong and coaching as their needs evolve. Regular Qi Gong practice supports the somatic shifts made in coaching. A 10-session coaching package is available for those ready to commit to deeper, sustained change.

Common questions

Q1: What is Qi Gong and how is it different from Tai Chi?

Qi Gong and Tai Chi share the same roots in Chinese medicine, and both involve gentle, flowing movement. The main difference is complexity. Tai Chi involves longer sequences that can take months or years to learn. Qi Gong movements are generally shorter, simpler, and easier for beginners to follow from the very first class. Qi Gong translates as ‘energy work’ — the focus is on moving energy through the body, calming the nervous system, and building internal awareness. It is an excellent starting point for people who want the benefits of Tai Chi but find the sequences overwhelming.

Q2: Do I need any experience or fitness level to join a Qi Gong class?

No experience or fitness level is required. Qi Gong is designed to be accessible to everyone, including people who have found yoga too hard on their joints, gym classes too fast or intimidating, or who are returning to movement after injury or illness. All you need to do is show up. Helen’s instructions are clear and encouraging — many clients say they felt at ease in the very first class.

Q3: What is Rapid Coherence coaching and how is it different from therapy?

Rapid Coherence Integration™ is a certified somatic coaching process that works with the body and nervous system, not just the mind. It is not therapy — there is no diagnosis, no medical framework, and you do not need to tell your whole story. Instead, Rapid Coherence identifies where a pattern is held in the body and uses gentle, specific processes to release it. Most clients notice a genuine shift within a single 90-minute session. It is particularly effective for people who already understand their patterns intellectually but cannot seem to change how those patterns feel in the body.

Q4: Is Pleasure Waves Coaching available for couples?

Yes. The Relationship Rescue Package is a 3-session program designed to restore genuine communication between couples of any configuration. Using a practice called the Dyad, couples learn to complete communication cycles and create space for each person to be truly heard. Many couples describe it as a turning point. The package is available online or in person on the Gold Coast.
