She has been practicing Qi Gong since 2012. Completing course requirements for certification in September of 2018, Patty is excited to share this ancient practice of health and healing with all ages.
As part of her training, she has completed immersions in the Five Elements and Three Treasures and many special workshops. Patty is also a member of the National Qi Gong Association.

Qi Gong is a wonderful daily moving meditation practice for less stress and more energy, providing calm contentment, joy, and healing energy.
"As modern people, we're often wired and tired. This is saying that the yin and yang are imbalanced. Your yang energy is in your head making you think too much and your yin energy is in your body making you feel tired and depleted. If we can reverse that— where we bring the yang energy into our bodies and have a surplus of energy and where we bring the yin energy to our heads and feel calm, clear, relaxed, and we have peace of mind— this is the balanced state of being— that's the goal of QiGong practice."
