Professional Background

Fabrice Piché is a dedicated Qigong master and practitioner of Chinese Medicine with over 25 years of experience in holistic health. His journey began in 1997 in Montreal, Canada, at the National Institute of Chinese Medicine, where he studied under its President François Caron. Completing a rigorous three-year program, Fabrice graduated in Qigong and Chinese Massage Therapy. He then served as François's assistant for an additional year, deepening his expertise and practical skills.

In 2009, seeking to expand his knowledge in the medical applications of Qigong, Fabrice commenced training with Bernard Shannon at the International Institute of Medical Qigong, Overseas College of Medical Qigong of Henan University of Chinese Medicine in Palm Desert, California. He earned his Master of Medical Qigong degree in September 2011, enhancing his proficiency in healing modalities and therapeutic practices.

Continuing his commitment to Chinese Medicine, Fabrice pursued studies in acupuncture at the Eight Branches College of Eastern Medicine from 2022 to 2024. This education deepened his understanding of the nuanced differences between Medical Qigong and Acupuncture treatment methodologies. By comprehending these distinctions, Fabrice is better equipped to teach Medical Qigong to Acupuncturists, effectively bridging the gap between these complementary healing practices.

Mentorship with Professor Lin Housheng

In September 2011, Fabrice had the exceptional opportunity to study privately with Professor Lin Housheng at his residence in Los Angeles. Professor Lin is internationally renowned as the creator of Taiji Qigong Shibashi, the 18-movement Qigong form practiced worldwide by millions of people. He gained prominence in China and Southeast Asia during the 1980s for his scientific research demonstrating the material existence of Qi, including collaborative work with nuclear physicist Gu Hansen and performing over 40 Qigong anesthesia procedures at Shanghai No. 8 People’s Hospital.

Recognizing Fabrice's dedication and skill, Professor Lin officially appointed him and François Caron in February 2012 as his representatives for Canada and France. This appointment included a mission to rectify transformations that had occurred in the dissemination of Taiji Qigong Shibashi in the West and to preserve the authenticity of the system. Professor Lin also authorized them to teach the Shaolin Qigong techniques used for Qi projection in healing and anesthesia.

Public Acknowledgment and International Demonstration

In October 2013, as Chairperson of the Qigong Skills Demonstration at the 12th Shanghai International Symposium on Qigong Science, Professor Lin publicly acknowledged Fabrice and François as his indoor students and disciples. Inviting them to perform alongside him, they demonstrated the Taiji Qigong Shibashi Jing Hua Ban form (Elite Edition Set 8) to an international audience, solidifying their roles as key proponents of authentic Qigong practice. *(Link to video)*

Educational Initiatives

In September 2012, Fabrice and François launched the first Taiji Qigong Shibashi Teacher Training Program in Canada authorized by Professor Lin. This program has successfully trained numerous instructors, promoting the integrity and effectiveness of Taiji Qigong Shibashi throughout the country.

Online Training and Accessibility

Responding to growing international interest, Fabrice began offering private training sessions via video conferencing platforms. Through his online academy, Qigong18.online, he makes the profound benefits of Taiji Qigong Shibashi accessible to students worldwide, eliminating the barriers of distance and travel.
