Achieving Senior Instructor Status
I wanted to share a brief update with you. I recently completed the certification process for Level IV Senior Qigong Instructor through the National Qigong Association (NQA), the organization's highest instructor-level designation.
This is a great accomplishment, and one that I'm very proud of. To be included among some of my own teachers on that list is an honor I deeply value. In this vein, I remain grateful to the Association for conferring the title.
The bar required to become a Senior Instructor is rigorous, and weighs heavily on time spent in the classroom, both learning and teaching qigong forms. Level IV, specifically, requires 1,000+ hours of documented Qigong training and 10 years of experience teaching other teachers, clinical practitioners, or both. With these criteria in mind, it's evident that this credential is earned through applied, practical work.
I began my journey with qigong in 2003 and have been practicing, teaching, and treating with qi emission ever since. Qigong is a powerful way to restore deep physical, energetic, and mental balance. A good instructor will be able to meet students exactly where they are and guide them towards their goals avoiding injury, and to the highest ethical standards.
What This Means Going Forward
Practically speaking, this acknowledgement only reinforces my committment to continued learning for myself and dedication to being a trusted teacher to my students. My focus remains the same as it's always been: to provide sound instruction, attention to your progress, and a practice grounded in real training rather than trend.
Forever in gratitude for the trust you place in me.
Parting Inspiration
Work on the book continues on schedule. We are looking at having physical copies ready by the beginning of October. There is still much work to be done with editing, photography, editing, and more editing… but the content is accessible to all people interested in learning the simple things that can be done on a daily basis to preserve great health. Can’t wait to share it with you!

See you soon,
Qi-eers!
