ABOUT YOUR TEACHER
I’m Nicole Lee – an internationally certified Qigong teacher, trained in both Modern and Classical Qigong styles
My Qigong journey began in 2013. Since then, I have taught literally hundreds of Qigong classes and workshops, and have helped students all over the world become certified Qigong teachers.
I’ve studied Qigong form and philosophy with multiple masters and teachers, consistently for more than a decade. My own personal style has evolved as I have, my core influences are Lee Holden, Master Wang Zhi Peng, Roger Janke and Damo Mitchell.
I’m also accredited in meditation, mindfulness, energy healing and craniosacral therapy, and have a Bachelor's Degree in Complementary Medicine.
I’ve repeatedly seen this gentle practice transform lives — physically, mentally and emotionally.
