Testimonial
"Wow, I have been in the bodywork field for 29 years
and I have never felt the energy in my body or in a
client's body the way I feel it in this class. I am so
excited. You know, my ankles get very swolen from
poor circulation. After a reflexolgoy session they
are normal again. Yesterday, I felt like I had gained
5 pounds- my whole body was swollen. So, I decided to 
do Reflexology on myself. I saw results immediately.
Today, the swelling is gone and I feel lightness in my
feet. I feel like I lost 5 pounds!"

What' Possible with Jin Shin Jyutsu   

A Jin Shin Jyutsu session involves light, sustained contact on the torso and limbs. The benefits include the circulation of Qi within the internal and external meridian flows, which is often experienced as a heightened state of wellbeing and resolution of deep seated emotional holding patterns.Anatomy    
 
Testimonial
"In Chinese Medicine cancer tumors are considered the flower of the illness, while the underlying emotions are considered the energetic roots. They say when a surgeon cuts out the tumor it is like cutting the flower and leaving in the    roots. After surgery my breast cancer recurred, for the roots had gone into my lungs and liver. I started receiving Medical Qi Gong sessions from Mathew and got a very bad cold. I began moving my Lung Qi with Jin Shin Jyutsu and Reflexology in sessions with classmates and on myself. Many deep emotions surfaced during my sessions and as my body healed from the cold, I experienced significant changes in my breast tissue and tumor, including a reduction in size, density, pain sensation and softening of the tissue."

What's Possible with Medical Qi Gong 
A Medical Qi Gong session involves a combination of hands-on and hands-off techniques designed to purge toxins and increase vitality and regulate homeostasis in the body, mind and spirit.Anatomy

Testimonial "I had been given a Glaucoma diagnosis because I had three times the pressure of what is normal on my Optic nerve. During Medical Qi Gong sessions, Matthew showed me how to normalize the pressure on my optic nerve through movement, Chinese herbs and Nutrition. during Medical Qi Gong sessions. I attribute my healing not only to the work but Mathew's talents and his gifts. I look at it as a miracle. Now I maintain my optical nerve balance completely with exercise."
