About

I imagine a world where teachers everywhere can use the relaxing, healing moves of Qigong to help their students. So I developed a program that is easy to learn, easy to implement and effective. I call my Program Tai Chi for Kids®, rather than Qigong, because the name is more familiar. It is more readily accepted by schools.  But it is the same flowing Qigong movements.  After sessions of Tai Chi for Kids, teachers tell me they feel the difference in the classroom atmosphere right away. There is an improvement in concentration and a decrease in the level of stress in themselves and their students. And the best part is that the children improve their self-esteem and test scores.

My dream is to offer workshops to teachers and students, parents and grandparents, all over the world, so that young people can benefit from these movements. We all need to slow down for a few minutes during the day, focus our energy and release tension. When we do, we not only feel better, but we perform better whether it is in school, work, athletics or personal relationships.

Over the 25 years I have been working with kids, I have seen improvements in self-esteem, patience, cooperation, creativity and happiness. Kids of all ages love it.

Training is available virtually and in person.
