I have been studying, practicing and teaching meditation and other spiritual arts for over 30 years and teaching Qigong for 6 years.

Combining my knowledge and passion for Qigong, music, dance, science and meditation I gently, yet powerfully guide my students to discover their own innate abilities to heal and live balanced, vibrant lives.

Qigong is the art and science of gathering, circulating, storing and balancing Body/Mind/Spirit energy, which is available from within oneself, nature and the Universe. The practice of Qigong is at least 4,000 years old and is the root of all Traditional Chinese Medicine.

I have been studying, practicing and teaching meditation and other spiritual arts for over 30 years and teaching Qigong for 6 years.

Combining my knowledge and passion for Qigong, music, dance, science and meditation I gently, yet powerfully guide my students to discover their own innate abilities to heal and live balanced, vibrant lives.

Qigong is the art and science of gathering, circulating, storing and balancing Body/Mind/Spirit energy, which is available from within oneself, nature and the Universe. The practice of Qigong is at least 4,000 years old and is the root of all Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Combining deep breathing, slow movements and meditation, Qigong begins by affecting the function of the autonomic nervous system and goes on to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The on-going practice of Qigong has been clinically shown to strengthen the body, repair and regulate the central nervous system, eliminate disease, improve mental capacity and prolong life.

Although the non-strenuous movements resemble those of Taiji, Qigong consists of shorter sequences, which are easy to learn and practice.

I began studying and practicing Qigong in 1999 and was certified to teach by Sifu Karen Ries in 2003. I am currently studying and practicing Qigong with Dr. Gaspar Garcia, Taoist Priest Yun Xiang Tseng, and Dr. Guan-Cheng Sun. I am a Level II Certified Qigong Instructor and former Board Member with the National Qigong Association.

As well as being available for personal training, I also teach classes at the StillPoint Wellness Center on Bainbridge Island and the Harbor Healing Center in Kingston. [less]
