What Students Are Saying

“Wow, now that I am learning Medical Qigong it is so nice to apply to my Swedish massage sessions. Energetically I feel more in tune with my clients. My capacity to tonify and balance the subtle bodies has increased & deepened.  Because I’m in the 1000 hour program it is amazing to have so many different tools and modalities to integrate into my sessions.”- Ariel Rubin, 1000 hour student, Certified Yoga Instructor
