    More on my training and background

            

Qigong and Taijiquan 

    Qigong and Taijiquan are traditional Chinese energy cultivation and martial arts studies. They are exercises that combine posture and movement with breath and focussed mind practice. Qi itself is the energy or "spark" that motivates all things in life. As our Qi circulation becomes more organized through regular practice, everything we do functions more smoothly. There are many well-documented examples of the effectiveness of these practices in improving both minor and serious health imbalances. Taiji and Qigong are fun and rewarding to learn and make you feel great!

Workshops for your organization 

    I can tailor an individual class or a series for your local area business or organization as part of an in–service training, or employee wellness or benefit program. Put on an enlightening, healthy and fun presentation for your group. Learn something about Chinese culture and take home some simple, effective practices that can be put to use right away to relax, refresh and combat stress in the workplace. These classes and mini–workshops are great in corporate settings,  for health care professionals and seniors groups.

    See the  Workshops Page for more information.
