My son has been training in this school (previously called Chi Life Studio) since he was 4, and I can see how he has grown and developed all these years. I strongly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn authentic Shaolin Kung Fu from a highly capable Master.

I've seen a variety of healers of all types over the years with varying results. Zen's healing sessions are powerful, and I definitely feel different (and better) after she's worked on me. During the sessions, I've experienced a variety of strange and interesting phenomena. Sometimes I see a blob of purple light swirling around in the forefront of my "minds eye". Sometimes I feel very light and other times like I'm sinking into the earth. She has assured me that this is all normal and is just the experience of energy moving and shifting. My favorite sensation is when it feels like my body has disappeared and I drift in and out of a very dreamlike state. It is deeply relaxing and I feel lighter for days afterward. Zen is intuitive, gentle, wise, and well-versed in energy medicine. I'm grateful for the work she's done with me and the obstacles she's helped me clear from my path. If you are ready to make a change in your life and shift into a healthier state of being, I would recommend Zen's healing sessions.

Brendan's qigong training dramatically helped me to balance my health and energy system!!…read more About four years ago I went through what is commonly referred to as a "Kundalini Awakening". It transformed my life for the better, but also turned my health and world upside down. I began to commonly feel ungrounded, spaced out and easily exhausted. As every year passed my energies were gradually becoming more balanced, but I wanted to make some faster progress and learn energy exercises for managing, strengthening and balancing my personal energies! As a result, I looked at some qigong and yoga schools in the States. But after talking with Brendan I felt very confident in his knowledge, understanding and confidence with my situation. Brendan's qigong training was very simple and powerful for me. I got much more out of it than I ever expected too. It allowed me to ground, strengthen and solidify my energies so I could begin to feel much healthier again! Brendan is a very good healer and qigong instructor. I would recommend him to anyone seeking energy work for improving their health and quality of life. I wish I could find an instructor like Brendan closer to my home of Serbia. One day I hope to be able to return to Seattle to further my studies with Brendan. Stefan Belgrade, Serbia

I came to Brendan at a time in my life when I was lost, depressed, and weighted down with extreme…read moresadness. My mind did not seem to find a way out of this maze of negativity and darkness. I was trying to lift myself up by eating light and healthy, regular jogging. I even started tai-chi. It did not seem to help at all. I could feel that I needed something else. The tai-chi lessons I took at a certain school in Seattle felt lame, mechanical, and without depth. I had practiced tai-chi before and enjoyed it, but for some reasons, going back to learning the moves one by one did not suit me. It felt empty. So, I continued looking for different tai-chi and similar arts that could help me connect with my inner self and be in harmony with my surroundings. What got my attention about Brendan's practice was that he was practicing "healing" reiki and Qigong. Sure we all agree that reiki or qigong practices are, generally speaking, "healing". But he was teaching a unique type of Qigong, and since I needed large amount of healing, I called Brendan. During our first session, he first spent time listening to my story, then began the reiki/qigong, where he held his hands facing different areas of my body, using different finger positions, while simultaneously guiding my attention and breadth to different areas of my body. By the end of the session, I knew something had changed in me. At the time I was not sure what it was but could describe it as grounding. I felt more grounded. In the following days my sleep began to improve and I started to feel less depressed, more hopeful and gained some clarity on the steps I needed to take to change my frame of mind, my mental attitude. I continued to see Brendan many times after that and discovered that Brendan did not only help me heal by working on me but by teaching me how I could practice on my own. I also went to his workshops, which helped a lot by complementing what I had learned with him. As I progressed, he taught me specific exercises for all my organ systems, especially the kidney, liver, intestine, immunity, lungs, and heart. If you practiced reiki/qigong before, you know it is often hard to describe what is going on inside ourselves during practices. What I can say is that the practices with Brendan helped me listen to my inner intelligence, my intuition if you will. It is like my body knew what to do in different situations. Little by little, I regained control of my emotions, I was able to distance myself from pain and sadness, I was able to rest my mind and feel my surroundings. I gained so much with his sessions that I took my 15-year old daughter many times to see him. Brendan's sessions are powerful and the more you practice the more empowered you feel, and the more peaceful you feel. I would recommend to anybody to go meet Brendan and let him guide you through his teachings in order to find strength and peace. Only good things will come out of meeting him.
