I started a month ago and I love it so much I truly want to attend all classes and keep up my practice. I had a yoga practice before this but my body is responding much better to Qigong... it is more grounding and gets me out of my head and more deeply into my body. I cannot say enough good things about this gentle, wise man. He is as much a teacher of Life as of Qigong. And his online classes are affordable, especially for the expertise he offers. Suitable for elders and those who find "regular exercise" not quite right. Gentle and grounding. Love!!!

It felt like gallbladder pain, but I didn't have stones--my gallbladder emptying was only 32%, which is the low end of normal. None of the doctors I saw could help me, and I was feeling hopeless. I decided to try acupuncture and found Flourish Integrative Health after reading their amazing reviews. From my very first call, the owner was so kind and informative. She recommended I see Jen Potthast, who has a lot of experience with the kind of issues I was having. I loved Jen from the beginning--she truly took her time to listen and understand everything I was feeling. I immediately felt calmer after our first session. After just four weekly sessions, all of my symptoms were completely gone. I continue to go because it's such an incredible experience. The treatments aren't painful at all--during each session I feel like I'm floating, and afterward I feel amazing, even better than after a massage. I highly, highly recommend giving acupuncture at Flourish Integrative Health a try--especially with Jen Potthast. She really knows her stuff and has made such a difference in my life!

TLDR: Avoid if you're a person of color, queer, or have any other marginalized identity. The hot…read moresprings staff and policies will not protect you. My friends and I went to the hot springs 5/23/2026. When there, we saw another person in the springs with a large SS nazi tattoo (with additional language under the SS with the tag "white power"). The tattoo was his whole back and was interpretable as nothing other than hate speech. Two people came up to warn us about the presence of this individual and told us that when they alerted the staff, staff said they would not address this situation. The man with the SS tattoo came to speak to those who warned us, and at that moment, I called using the staff phone asking them to send security. I was told that "they could not legally discriminate against patrons for any tattoos" which is neither federal nor California law. They said they could only intervene if there was a threat of violence. I believe any reasonable person can recognize hate speech as an implicit threat of violence. But by the time I got off of the phone, there was a threat of violence, where the man got into the face of the person he was talking to and talked about having someone hit them. The group of people he was talking to during the time of the threat included several women of color, several people who identified as queer, and one visibly disabled person. After that, I called again, and they sent a young man of color ALONE to try and address this situation, where he was not able to find the man in question (he had walked off on a trail knowing there were complaints about him). He was able to do this because of the time it took for the staff to try to address the situation. After a long time of complaints (over 1 hour), being told we didn't understand the discrimination laws, and that they couldn't get in touch with a manager to even confirm that they could remove the man, we got a full refund and left. We had to fight for that refund, and even though they had sent that one young staff member before, it was only when we finally confirmed a refund did a manager even direct the staff to collect details on what this man said, did, and looked like, indicating that it either took staff over two hours to contact a manager, which is a problem in any emergency, or it took us asking for a refund for any action to be even spoken about in this dangerous situation. Either way, I will never step foot in this establishment again. This spa promotes itself as a safe space, but is unwilling to have policies and staff that actually create a safe space.

With his mother's total agreement he swung the bat, aiming directly at her back shoulder and hit her with a good amount of force. To my amazement she turned around with a big grin on her face. She felt no pain. The sensation was quite the opposite and actually invigorated her. I could see in her face and hear in her voice that she had somehow become more alive. I was intrigued, to say the least. Since that day 4 years ago, Qi gong has become an integral part of my life. The Jingui method along with stellar instruction and guidance has benefited my life in deeply meaningful ways. Qi Gong has been the impetus for my physical, mental and emotional transformation. I believe this training is quite profound in its ability to achieve its most basic objectives: health and wellness. What it offers in addition to that is incredibly powerful. Darren creates a fun class environment and has thoughtfully supports each student throughout the entire process. He is completely free of judgement and completely full of praise. His big heart and authentic character are a testament to the training itself. The best way to learn more is to check out one of the introductory classes held in Corte Madera or Santa Cruz.
