Over the years I've indulged my curiosity in many kinds of bodywork by studying pretty much anything that interests me, including: Essential Oils, Reiki, Qigong, Myofascial Release, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Indian Head Massage, and taking many classes with Jeffrey Yuen. They all influence my work, even if I don't end up using every technique.

Gilles and his faculty teach Chi Nei Tsang, Applied Qigong to massage therapists and other bodywork professionals---- as well as any individual who's interested in enhancing wellness in family and friends... using it as self-care... and/or adding CNT to their Qigong practice.
