 Insatiable curiosity
has caused me to spend the better half of my life tying to answer the
question “What causes people to experience life as full and
satisfying”. After much training and deliberation, my answer to this
question is that each person must have the strength, freedom and
stability to unfold their potential in the way that they wish it to
unfold. I have watched and seen too many times as people try to do
this and falter because of ill health, emotional instability and lack
of mental clarity.
There are all manner of problems that can beset any one of us,
therefore a solid practice which can protect and enable us to reach our goal
is invaluable.
That foundation must offer a person a way to maintain physical health,
emotional presence and mental clarity in the face of difficulties that
arise. However it is not enough to
find these qualities; we must sustain and develop these until the end
of our life in order to move through the years with grace, dignity and
freedom.
My search to answer the question “What causes us to experience life as
full and satisfying” led me to travel the world studying under masters
from a myriad of traditions including studying with three Qigong
masters over fourteen years, the works of Feldenkrais, Yoga, Chinese
medicine, body work and martial arts. Each practice contained profound
realizations but no single practice provided a satisfactory answer.
It was through my own experience of these studies that I found a
way to answer the question. My system provides the essential tools
that will enable every individual to develop the foundational elements
that lead to the fulfillment of ones path by avoiding the pitfalls of
life such as chronic sickness, emotional collapse and mental rigidity.
Over the years, my teaching style has evolved. With each year, I get
closer and closer to reaching my goal of creating a way for everyone,
regardless of age, current health, or energy level, to receive the
benefits from this practice. |

I have
apprenticed under three renowned QiGong masters all of whom have
certified me to teach. I am currently the master instructor of
Taijiwuxigong in the United States. Taijiwuxigong is a specific
medical system of Qigong voted as the most effective system at the
1998 World Conference on Medical Qigong. I combine my extensive
knowledge of martial arts, the Feldenkrais Method, yoga, Buddhism and
many other spiritual and healing practices to help people find true
health so that they can live full and satisfying lives. |
