“Lainy has been my teacher for over six years. A growing body of evidence points to the value of this beautiful ancient practice. I cannot say enough about how much her classes help me find a calm center from which to operate in my personal and professional life. In my work as a psychologist, I need to have a good strong foundation in order to be fully present with my clients and leave work feeling calm and clear for my own quality of life. Lainy is a master of her craft and is gifted in her ability to create the context for deep learning and well-being.

“Lainy has been teaching Qigong as part of our Modern OT Occupational Therapy Services pain program for the last 6 years sharing her knowledge and mastery of Qigong with a population of clients that can use it in so many ways to help themselves. Her ability to weave together the foundations of Qigong (use of breath, mind and movement) with chronic pain management strategies is amazing. Her knowledge of the human body, nervous system and how Qigong can positively impact someone’s pain experience and function helps even the most skeptical clients to keep an open mind and give it a try. Lainy delivers one of the most powerful mindfulness meditations for pain that I’ve ever heard! Although I’ve participated in her sessions many times over the years, I am always inspired and leave the session feeling relaxed and calm. Her contribution to the program is fantastic and I look forward to many more sessions in the years to come!

“I have been playing Qigong with you for more than two years now. Your classes are always wonderful and what I am learning from you in addition to Qigong is inner strength. You have shown me that in challenging moments inner peace can make us strong and resilient. Your wisdom has helped me through difficult moments of anxiety and depression. Qigong with you is meditation in motion; the gentle movements flow like water filling me up with peace and harmony. Thank you for your powerful teachings!”

“This was an excellent workshop – I am so happy to have done it and now I feel that I have an easy daily routine that I can follow to improve my health and feel a sense of calm and peacefulness. This workshop was great as it has really helped to motivate me and feel empowered in my process of healing from a chronic illness. It is exactly what I needed. Thanks!”

“Because of my current physical situation, the biggest gain for me is hope. I believe that as I continue to practice this beautiful art called Radiant Lotus Qigong, as taught by you, Lainy, I will see improvement not only physically but mentally also! After participating in your workshop, success actually feels attainable! Lainy, I feel your teaching style is very giving and considerate. You impart your knowledge and gift with clarity and consideration of the people who are present.

“Thank you very much for your wonderful Qigong lesson today. I feel refreshed and even reborn somehow. Breathing deeply, meditation, feeling chi around and inside of my body, balancing (and taking care of) my own spirit, mind, heart, body and becoming aware about chi mean so much to me. Looking forward to seeing you next week. I appreciate your chi and calm positive energy so much.

I was fortunate enough to do an in-person Soma Breath workshop with Lainy.  What a treat after the last 2 years!  It was magnificent to connect to the breath in a calm and relaxed atmosphere.  I had a sinus pressure headache due to barometric pressure changes which resolved after the session and I could breathe clearly.  I was grateful for Lainy’s direct and thoughtful approach.  Many thanks!
