How many sessions will I need? Each person and their needs are unique however, if you are doing your homework it will expedite the process.  Six Qigong sessions and then evaluation’s of what's next are recommended to begin your transformation. There is no one size fits all in transformation, it is individual. Small changes can yield big results. 

How will exercises or materials be delivered? Your materials will be given in person, text to you or emailed. You will also find your library of coaching sessions has materials, videos and information as well.

How quickly can I expect to see results from a session? Results vary based on your goals. Most people feel immediate stress relief and a sense of calm after one session. Improvements in sleep and energy typically appear within 1–2 weeks of consistent practice. For chronic physical or emotional issues, significant lasting shifts usually occur within 1–3 months of regular sessions.

Qigong… this could take a minute, but hang with me.

Qi is the Light, energy, or life force that flows through all things.
Gong means skill, work, cultivation, or mastery.

In many ways, we already work with Qi every day informally through our thoughts, emotions, movement, breath, relationships, and connection to life itself. But the formal practice we are talking about here is Medical Qigong.

Medical Qigong is a moving meditation — or meditative movement — that works to transform the body, mind, spirit, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and energetically. It is powered by YOU connecting with the Heavens (Divine Source Energy) and Earth through breath, visualization, intention, movement, stillness, and awareness.

One of my favorite ways to describe Qigong is through the image of cultivating a garden.

In a full and healthy garden, there is a master gardener who lovingly tends the space with knowledge, care, and consistency. At the very least, they pull the weeds, plant what they want to grow, and nourish the garden daily with sunlight, water, nutrients, and attention.

Qigong works in a similar way.

We clear what no longer serves (or gets in the way) of a balanced body, mind, and spirit while cultivating vitality, virtues, peace, health, and high vibrational Light. Over time, we tend to our inner landscape more consciously.

Qigong is more than an exercise. It is a practice, a daily cultivation.

One of my favorite videos does a beautiful job explaining The Physiology of Tai Chi and QiGong.

The Physiology of Tai Chi and QiGong

Qi= energy...vital Light force that fills ALL things.

Gong= work/skill or cultivation

Cultivating Light with skill. 

Everything is Qi.

There is skill in cleansing, filling, transforming and balancing the Qi in the body, mind and spirit. 

The practice of Qigong is extremely helpful...

What Exactly Happens During a Medical Qigong Session?

In every session, Heather works to purge (clean), tonify (fill, strengthen, or replenish), and regulate (balance) your Qi.

A session often includes:

1. Assessment

We begin with a discussion of the top three things you would like to address, a review of your health history, and a plan moving forward. This helps create direction and intention for the session.

2. Treatment

You will lie fully clothed on a treatment table, usually face up, while receiving specific Medical Qigong techniques designed to purge stagnant energy, tonify and replenish the Qi, and regulate the overall flow of energy throughout the body.

Many clients describe the experience as entering a deeply restful state — flowing somewhere between awareness, meditation, dream, and deep rest.

Depending on your state upon arrival and what unfolds during your session, you may leave feeling lighter, clearer, emotionally released, deeply relaxed, rejuvenated, invigorated, or simply ready for rest and integration.

3. Integration & Discussion

Sometimes it is helpful to discuss what was experienced or felt during the session. Other times, it is best not to focus too heavily on what was removed or released, as continually revisiting certain energetic patterns may invite them to reconnect.

4. At-Home Cultivation

You are often given a personalized “prescription” of movements, breathing exercises, meditations, or supportive practices to help maintain the results of your session and continue the cultivation of Qi in everyday life.

Do I need to "believe" in Qi for it to work? No. While an open mind helps you relax, Qigong has measurable physiological effects. The deep diaphragmatic breathing and rhythmic movements lower cortisol levels and shift your nervous system into "rest and repair" mode, which benefits the body regardless of your personal beliefs.

Do I need to be flexible or fit to practice Qigong? Not at all. Medical Qigong is highly accessible and is often called "the yoga of the West" because it does not require intense flexibility. Exercises and treatments can be adapted for people who are standing, seated, or even bedbound, making it suitable for all ages and physical conditions.

Is Medical Qigong safe to use alongside Western medical treatments? Yes. Medical Qigong is a non-invasive, complementary therapy designed to support—conventional medical care. It is frequently used to help manage side effects of clinical treatments, reduce inflammation, and accelerate post-surgical recovery and much more.

"Is it safe to do while I’m on medication? Yes. Medical Qigong is a non-invasive, complementary therapy. It does not involve ingesting substances and is designed to support your body's natural healing processes alongside your doctor's care.

What if I don’t "feel" anything during my appointment? It is very common to feel nothing more than "relaxed" during your first session. Sensitivity to energy (the "Qi sensation") often develops over time. Many clients find that while they didn't feel a "spark" on the table, they experience significantly better sleep or a shift in mood 24–48 hours after the appointment.

What should I wear?  You could wear comfortable clothing that allows for deep breathing. You will typically be asked to remove your shoes, and most sessions take place while you are lying comfortably on a treatment table face up, fully clothed.

Can I do this remotely/virtually? Yes. All of the above.  I offer remote/virtual sessions, as Qigong theory suggests that intention and energy are not limited by physical space. Depending on the circumstances I offer remote sessions via phone, FaceTime or Zoom.
