Qi Healing

Qigong is a powerful system of healing and energy medicine from China. It is the art and science of using breathing techniques, gentle movement, and meditation to cleanse, strengthen, and circulate the life energy (qi). Qigong leads to better health and vitality and a tranquil state of mind. In the past, qigong was also called nei gong (inner work) and dao yin (guiding energy).

How do you say it?

Qi pronounce chee
Gong pronounce gung, as in lung

How old is Qigong?

The documented history of qigong goes back approximately 2,500 years. However Chinese archaeologists and historians have found references to qigong-like techniques at least five thousand years old.

What is a session like?

Qi Healing includes a sophisticated system of health assessment and treatment. The sessions are specifically designed, personalized, for every individual. The session is performed with the client fully clothed and seated in a chair or resting on a massage table. The Qi Healing techniques may be used as a stand alone form of wellness treatment or may be combined with massage, acupressure, or any other form of body-work. It is a preventative and self-healing aspect of Chinese medicine. Following the bodywork session, you will be given specific Qigong exercises to continue the process through your own self-practice.

Qigong is unlike Western medicine. It is not designed to cover up an ailment. It's purpose is for you to re-discover yourself. Qigong is a practice of dis-ease prevention and longevity.

Acupuncture Therapy

This form of therapy refers to the insertion of acupuncture needles into specific points located on the body in order to facilitate change in the body. This therapy is holistic and is capable of effecting change in all systems of the body. Acupuncture influences your body’s own healing process and can both enhance that function as well as remove obstructions.

Acupuncture utilizes the nervous system connective tissue and body’s immune function to help regulate function and eradicate disease. Our experience has shown us that acupuncture therapy is a profound intervention for the treatment of chronic internal medical conditions as well as psychological disorders, autoimmune diseases and more.
