“Qigong and Qi massage not only helped me get my life back, it offered me a better way of life and, over time, has resulted in better health than I had before. I love this gentle yet powerful practice and I’m excited to share it with people.”

Comments from Sandra’s qigong and dao yoga students and her personal Qi session clients:
“I could actually feel the energy move in my body in my personal Qi session with Sandra. I also loved that she gave me “homework”; telling me about the points to gently massage or press to help the corresponding organ and meridian. I’ve been doing them and I feel they are helping.”

About Sandra’s Qi turtle logo:
In qigong, the turtle is associated with the kidneys — the home of deep peace, calm, and wisdom. Turtles are more ancient than any other vertebrate animal and known for their slow movement, sturdiness and amazing longevity. The turtle also symbolizes endurance and strength, lives in and around water (the element associated with the kidneys), and in Daoist art represents the triad of the universal, human, and earth planes — three powerful sources of Qi.
