The problem with Debra is that there is only one. She is a consummate professional with an incredible amount of Qigong wisdom. For new students she is patient and steady, always answering questions that arise, and for experienced students she offers insights only a master has, with a depth of training that can teach a seasoned student. -- Sifu David

When I met Debra I went into learning the Qigong form knowing it would be "good" for me but also dreading how physically demanding it felt. Debra made it fun and challenging as I began the journey of refining my chi. Since that first year I have taken two of Debra's classes and have fallen in love with learning about Qigong healing wisdom. I have found Debra to be incredibly accommodating, kind, gentle, compassionate intelligent and wise in her approach with each individual. I have also experienced one-on-one Qigong healing with Debra...all I can say is WOW, the healings, and classes have changed the way in which I am able to be in this world. I now experience more health, laughter and joy on a regular basis. I feel so blessed to have met Debra. -- Patricia C.

I had just left a fifteen year old business in search of my next thing. After asking a friend for ideas that would challenge me, she suggested studying Qigong with Debra as the teacher. I didn't know that it would become a centering piece in my life, offering additional tools for balance, knowledge and a way to discover ancient virtues that are timeless. As an instructor, Debra is centered, embracing, knowledgeable, organized and commited to teaching her students, encouraging learning and healing. I found Debra easy to talk to, willing to listen and able to challenge me whereever I am at the moment. She has taught me healing intentions, moving meditations and the harmonious relationships of my body. That is saying quite a bit when you consider that I didn't even know where all of my organs were when I started! -- Lisa T.

I started working with Debra at the end of 2009, and that will always be one of the best decisions of my life! I have struggled with fibromyalgia, multiple injuries and psychiatric trouble for over ten years, and it seemed I had lost my ability to do everything I loved. Since working with her, my life and body have become my own again! She doesn't dictate what I should do, and hasn't claimed to be able to do the work for me - she is teaching me to heal myself and listen to my own intuition. I have sought healing in a variety of modalities, and Qigong is the first to provide the depth I had been seeking. I noticed the difference immediately, and I also notice when I neglect my practice for even a couple of days, and after being sick for so long, I want nothing less than optimal health. Every day someone comments - friends, aquaintances and even strangers - what are you doing? Who are you working with? I'm told that I'm glowing. She has taught very profound concepts in simple, easy to understand language, incorporating spiritual principles and philosophies into day-to-day life. Her intuition is remarkable, and she is willing to meet each student exactly where they are. I'd initially thought I might just take a class or two, but have since decided to enter her clinical practitioner program. Six months ago that was the last thing on my mind! It is so exciting to be healthy enough to make such a commitment, and to know that Debra will teach me how to help others discover their own inner wisdom. Best of all - I get to work with her for the next four years! - Kelly T.

I first contacted Debra over a year ago while searching for holistic health care practitioners. I suffered from chronic depression for several years and finally decided I needed to get to the root of the problem. Debra was the first professional to see beyond my condition She seemed to know me from the moment we met and has taught me invaluable tools for dealing with depression, managing stress, and approaching life in a more positive and compassionate light. All of Debra's offerings (qigong movement, qigong lifestyle workshops, and clinical qigong treatment) have aided me in living a lifestyle that is empowering and life-sustaining. Qigong is a powerful healing practice that is ideal for treating and preventing physical and emotional ailments, as well as everyday stress and strain. Debra is an amazingly warm and masterful teacher. I highly recommend her. -- Sarah H.
