I am leading a Chi Kung class on Saturdays, in Crozet, for another 8 weeks. If you are interested in joining us, you might still be able to squeak in – OR let me know if you are interested in a future class. I might start another group in Charlottesville in January.

If you haven’t read this blog over the past six months (go back to January and then start reading forward), then you missed some of the experiences I wrote about from the incredible (Ninja) Massage School I attended.

A friend asked me recently if Qigong – Chi Kung – would benefit symptoms from mold toxicity. She also referenced my using Qigong to keep any Lyme’s symptoms under control. This is my response: I am excited to have you in the class! Keeping in mind it is for beginners (there are at least 2Continue reading “Qigong results?”

Wow that title is a mouthful! What the heck does it mean? It means that right now, I am letting go of anything miscellaneous, anything even remotely distracting, anything ambiguously affecting my mind stream. Tinder – gone. Seriously – I have gone on several Tinder dates. One woman I am still good friends with. ButContinue reading “Eliminate the unnecessary to reveal the essential”

For those of you who are new to this blog, a bit of background… I have been practicing bodywork – Craniosacral Therapy, Polyvagal Therapy and more recently Birth Process work (Pre- and Perinatal Psychology) since 2005. In addition, I have added massage and Asian Bodywork and Qigong / Tai Chi onto that list as well.Continue reading “Loving what I do”
