Program Overview and Module Descriptions

Medical Qigong Therapy is the energetic medicine branch of Chinese medicine. Through light touch and focused intention, practitioners learn hands-on healing protocols to regulate the flow of Qi, release blockages, and restore balance in the body’s systems. Rooted in medicinal Daoism, classical Chinese medicine, and Five Element theory, Medical Qigong employs diagnostic methods that address chronic health conditions, support physiological balance, and foster deep relaxation. This therapy enhances emotional and spiritual well-being and activates the body’s natural capacity for self-healing.

Training in Medical Qigong Therapy not only cultivates personal presence and energetic awareness, it also provides practical skills that can be integrated into many fields of work including acupuncture, bodywork, psychotherapy, coaching, and integrative health practices. This is a hands-on healing approach where you learn to treat patients energetically using both the protocols taught in the program and the unique skills you already bring. No prior experience in the healing arts is required—just curiosity and a willingness to learn.
