Peter Paul Parker - Qi Gong hmion And Nervous System Specialist

Peter Paul Parker is a Qi Gong Master, teacher, and founder of Bright Beings Academy.

With over 20 years of experience in mind–body practices, he supports people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected to reduce stress, regulate their nervous system, and return to a calmer, more grounded way of being.

After struggling with anxiety earlier in life, Peter discovered Qi Gong as a practical way to calm the body.

Today, he works with professionals, highly sensitive individuals, and community groups, helping people feel more at ease in their body and daily life.

Founder Story

Peter was born in Kingston and grew up as one of six brothers. His early life included both stability and sudden loss, shaping a deep sensitivity to emotional and environmental stress.

He first built a career in music, performing with established artists including original members of Thin Lizzy, and touring across the UK and internationally.

Despite outward success, he experienced ongoing anxiety and internal tension.

After stepping away from music, he discovered Qi Gong at a mind–body–spirit event in London. The practice offered something different, a direct way to calm the body and feel more grounded.

In 2016, he represented Britain at the Kookhak Qi Gong International Championship in South Korea, becoming a Qi Gong champion.

After returning to the UK, he began teaching in an elderly community centre. This became a defining moment, as he saw how simple, gentle practices could help people feel calmer, move more freely, and reconnect with themselves.

These experiences created a deep sensitivity to emotional stress, which now shapes the way he supports others with compassion and understanding.

This work led to the creation of Bright Beings Academy. Peter’s work is particularly focused on supporting highly sensitive individuals and those who feel emotionally overwhelmed, helping them feel safe, calm, and more at ease in their body again.
