Portrait of Gillian Kok

Credentials

  • Core Process Psychotherapist
  • Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist (BCST)
  • Certified Advanced Rolfer™
  • Rolf Movement® Practitioner
  • Certified Pilates Instructor

My own journey towards healing started with Rolf Movement and Pilates and then significantly deepened with Biodynamic Craniosacral work and Core Process Psychotherapy.

I was, and continue to be, very fortunate to have met some wonderful teachers and therapists who have gently guided me along my path with patience and openness. I feel like I have lived many lives, having been born and raised in Malaysia as a child and then lived in Singapore, the United States, Hong Kong, Japan, Thailand, Spain, Canada, Indonesia and Portugal. Professionally, I began with filmmaking and then moved on to computer systems and networking, technical writing, and translation before beginning a whole new exploration and enquiry into what health, and ultimately, what life means to me.
