The other day, I mentioned to Jordan that I needed to write something for my website but wasn’t sure what topic to dive into. He suggested that if he were looking for Qigong teacher training or mentorship, he’d want to know why he should choose me over another teacher or program.

At first, I thought—ugh, that’s not something I want to write about! 😆 My approach to teaching Qigong has always been rooted in the belief that the people I’m meant to share this practice with, those I’m meant to serve, will naturally find me.

But the more I sat with it, the more I realised there’s probably some value in sharing more about what it’s like to work with me.

So, if you’re thinking of joining one of my Qigong Teacher Training programs—Dao of the Heart, Dao of Health, or another offering—maybe this musing will help you decide.

1. I know Qigong deeply

I’ve immersed myself in Qigong for 12 years, exploring its theory, forms, philosophy, and practices. This depth of understanding is woven into everything I teach. Whether you're just beginning your journey or seeking mastery, I tailor my approach to meet you where you are, guiding you through a deeply rooted and genuine experience of Qigong.

2. I live Qigong

I don’t just teach Qigong; I live it. The philosophy behind this ancient art shapes how I show up every day, and I bring that authenticity into my work with others. My students often seek a teacher who embodies what they teach, and I make it a point to model the balance, flow, and energy that I ask my students to cultivate in their own lives.

3. I’ll tell you how it is

Whether you’re learning Qigong for yourself or training to teach, I’m committed to mentoring you with honesty and integrity. You’re not just going to go through the motions—I provide clear, constructive feedback and refinements to help you unlock the full potential of the practice. My goal is to ensure you develop both the skills and the deep understanding needed to enhance your own practice or become the best facilitator you can be.

Qigong is far more than just a physical practice—it’s a path of self-awareness, healing, and personal growth. At its core, Qigong is about slowing down, becoming more present, and living life from that grounded, mindful place. This slower pace allows you to connect with your body, your breath, and the vital life force (Qi) flowing within and around you.

In my 1:1 programs, I customize my approach to meet the unique needs of each student. Some may need more support than others, and I adjust accordingly to ensure that real progress is made by aligning the body, mind, and spirit.

That said, progress requires radical self-responsibility. I can guide, teach, and support you, but true transformation only happens when you fully bring yourself to the practice. If you don’t show up—physically, mentally, and energetically—I can’t help you heal, learn, or grow into your full potential.

And, if you’re looking for someone who will sugarcoat things or tell you you're doing it right when you're not, then I’m probably not the teacher for you. I believe in offering real, honest feedback because that’s the only way to truly grow in Qigong. I’ll push you to go deeper and make sure you’re on the right path, but it’s up to you to do the work.

My programs take a holistic approach to healing, going far beyond just movement. I integrate Daoist life-nurturing practices, metaphysical healing, and natural health knowledge to provide a fully transformative experience. Whether you're seeking improved health, energy cultivation, or spiritual growth, we’ll work together to address every aspect of your being—but you must commit to showing up for yourself first.

Ultimately, Qigong is a journey, and finding the right teacher is an important part of that path. If you're ready to commit to your personal growth, health, and transformation, I’d love to help guide you. My programs are designed to meet you where you are, and together, we can create a practice that supports the deepest aspects of your well-being.

I believe the people I’m meant to work with will know when they’re ready—so if this resonates with you, I invite you to take the next step.
