About the Practitioner

I am a Red Thread Certified Medical Qigong Practitioner who continues to advance my training in Medical Qigong at the Red Thread Institute.

I discovered Medical Qigong as part of my pursuit to find and maintain deep inner calm after retiring from a career in teaching and educational research. What began as a personal practice for self-healing and growth gradually developed into a desire to work with others as a practitioner. After becoming certified, I opened my clinic in Pueblo, Colorado.

One aspect of the Medical Qigong tradition that especially resonates with me is the principle that healing is a collaborative process between the practitioner and client. Rather than viewing healing as something to be done to a client, the practitioner supports the client’s understanding of and participation in the healing process. This approach aligns with my teaching background and shapes how I work with clients.

When working with clients, I combine their healing goals with my understanding of patterns within their body’s energy systems to determine how best to proceed with treatment. Each session begins and ends with conversation, creating an opportunity to adapt and refine the healing approach over time.
