Paddy Kennedy was an elite-trained athlete whose body gave out after years and years of rigourous training. She was left permanently disabled and had to learn how to get back on her feet. After 25 years of studying complementary and alternative medicine modalities in several countries and world cultures to understand a chronic pain disorder, she was diagnosed with Cancer. Not one to ever quit, and with the advice of her brilliant doctor, Paddy began studying meditation in depth, especially Mindfulness meditation and Qi Gong Meditation.

In 2000, Paddy, a Canadian citizen, was awarded the prestigious Type O-1 Visa entrance into the United States. This Visa is for World-class experts in their field. Paddy entered the US as a World-class expert in Wellness Training and Qi Gong Instructor. She lectured at Cornell Medical School and Rockefeller University, and taught Mindfulness and Qi Gong at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains, New York. She set up her Wellness Practice in New York where she practised for 8 years.

Today, Paddy is cancer free but still lives with a debilitating pain disorder. She is the founder and Principal of Kennedy Communication Studio, International with clients coming from over 90 countries. She manages her remarkably busy schedule by implementing the techniques of Mindfulness and the Philosophy of Qi Gong meditation systems on a daily basis. She also includes these modalities in her work with Executives and Senior Managers.
