Welcome 

​

3Bǎo, or Sānbǎo,  means 3 treasures. For me, this phrase represents three guiding ideals that lead my work perspective and its mission.  as I offer my services and practice these profound and powerful healing art forms, my intent is to embody these virtues, defined by Laozi in Chapter 67 of the Daodejing as:

Compassion +Humility + Balance/Moderation 

Qigong healing and other forms of energy therapies are about the balance of Yin and Yang and according to Traditional Chinese philosophy, are the primary motivation and material of all formal existence. Healing is harmony among the layers of mind, body and spirit which are, in Medical Qigong- Jing (material), Qi (mental/emotional) and Shen (spirit)- these are the three treasures of humanity. Harmony requires balance= the perfect amount of what is needed exactly where it is needed. I believe I have worked well when I have gone neither beyond, nor fallen short of the job at any given moment or any given phase of the total.

Qualifications:

I hold a Master of Medical Qigong (MMQ) certification, having studied in Nashville with the late JMichael Wood, DMQ- 5 Virtues Qigong, and Sarah Cherry, DMQ(China), Body and Abode Healing, for the intermediate and master levels.  The curriculum followed by my teachers was developed by the International College of Medical Qigong (ICMQ) and patterned after the Overseas College of Medical Qigong- Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through my teacher, Sarah, I am a 23rd generation initiate of the Long Men Pai (Dragon Gate Sect) associated with the An Di Fu Shen Temple (The Temple of Health and Prosperity) located on Qing Cheng Mountain in Sichuan, China. 

​

Medical Qigong is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) focused on various "Yang Sheng" (nourishing life) practices. With this certificate, I am able to offer lessons in Qigong movements and to do what is broadly called energetic bodywork, called Qi Emission Therapy, whci uses the TCM concepts of Qi, Organ meridians, “auric” fields, including the physical, mental/ emotional, and spiritual layers of the human body.  The basic idea of this work is to help a client experience balanced and harmonized layers and understand how to maintain the or reclaim that balance. Some people call qigong emission therapy “acupuncture without the needles”. I am also qualified to train beginning Medical Qigong Practitioners (MQP).

I also hold a Reiki Master/Teacher Certificate (Traditional Usui Natural Healing Method). I received Reiki attunements from Judy Jaya Seely, levels I & II in 1995, then was initiated by Janet Neely as a Master/ Teacher in 2012.

Reiki Natural Healing Method is a Japanese energy bodywork technique that offer gentle healing touch methods both slight on, or a few inches off the surface of the patient's body. The goals for Reiki are the same for Qi emission- to help a patient experience more balanced energy flow throughout the three layers of physical body, heart/ mind, and soul/ spirit for wellbeing. 

​

I am licensed interfaith minister through the Univeral Life Church and hold professional certificates as a Positive Psychology Specialist (University of Pennsylvania, online course, 2020) and an Integrative Healthcare Specialist (University of Minnesota, online, 2020)

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU).
 

I am a certified teacher of Tai Chi, through Dianne Bailey’s “Open the Door to Tai Chi” program (Yang 24 Form). It is a style of practicing that is great for beginners 0f all ages, those who have mobility issues, and for seniors.

​

Qi Healing Classes and Therapy Sessions:
I have practiced energetic healing techniques for over 30 years through my private practice (3Bao Healing Arts) where I specialize in energy bodywork techniques- Reiki Natural Healing Method, Qi emission therapy, Qigong movement coaching and taijiquan (Tai chi) lessons.  Most currently, along with my private healing and movement practice, I am a team member at Ha Lè Integrative Health Center in Nashville.  I offer both in person and remote/distance healing sessions that include a general harmonizing and balancing treatment, plus techniques tailored to the individual’s condition.

I have taught Qigong Movement classes in the Nashville area since 2014, both in person and now, online, including at Nashville Community Education (now closed), 50 Forward Senior Centers, and via Zoom or Google Meet weekly since pandemic, affectionately called Zoom Gong or Zoom Tai.

Who is this Chick?

"The ‘Three Jewels of Tao’ (Chinese: 三寶; pinyin: sānbǎo) refer to the three virtues of taoism:
1) compassion, kindness, love
(Chinese: 慈; pinyin: cí; literally "compassion, tenderness, love, mercy, kindness, gentleness and implies the term ‘mother’, ‘mother’s/ parental love’)

2) moderation, simplicity, frugality
(Chinese: 儉; pinyin: jiǎn; literally "frugality, moderation, economy, restraint, be sparing")
When applied to the moral life it stands for the simplicity of desire.

3 ) humility, modesty
The third treasure is a six-character phrase instead of a single word: Chinese 不敢為天下先, Bugan wei tianxia xian, "not dare to be first/ahead in the world", referring to the taoist way to avoid premature death." (Nations Online)
