What is Medical Qigong

Medical Qigong is one of the 4 pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, and qigong combine to create the complete system of Chinese Medicine. Jackie has been emersed in this profound medicine since 1997 when she began her master’s degree at Bastyr University.

Medical Qigong, a discipline rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, incorporates physical movements, mental concentration, and controlled breathing methods to enhance the circulation of Qi or energy in the body. This practice aims to rebalance and harmonize the body, fostering better health and overall wellness. Those who engage in Medical Qigong utilize tailored exercises and meditative techniques to tackle a range of physical, emotional, and spiritual issues. Through the integration of this longstanding tradition into their daily regimen, numerous people have found relief from stress, anxiety and overwhelm, a boost in vitality, and a heightened sense of well-being.

Medical qigong treatments are akin to performing acupuncture without needles. As an acupuncturist, Jackie employs needles to direct and mobilize energy within the body. Qigong, however, is a skill of energy manipulation, allowing her to use her hands to channel energy, or qi, for healing purposes.

Jackie's qigong classes aim to help you identify energetic patterns linked to emotions like anger, grief, worry, fear, and anxiety, and to transform these lower vibrations into higher energetic vibrations associated with compassion, kindness, happiness, inner peace, wisdom, boundaries, balance, integrity, and dignity, thereby fostering a more balanced life. Qigong offers effective techniques for achieving a healthier and more joyful life.
