About Paul
Paul brings together his lifelong curiosity about health, energy, and human potential with over 35 years of professional experience in healthcare and higher education. He holds doctoral degrees in Pharmacy and in Higher Education Administration.
His work has always been guided by a colloborative leadership approach to support others - getting to know people personally and partnering with them for growth, possibility, and achievement.
Along the way, he discovered practices that nourish both body and spirit: Yoga, Qigong, and Reiki. Today, he brings his professional background and this same philosophy to his energy work, helping people feel more balanced, energized, and aligned.
Energy Healing & Medical Qigong
Paul offers Energetic Healing sessions designed to support the body, mind, and emotions. Using Medical Qigong and Reiki, he works with your natural energy to release blockages, restore flow, and bring a deeper sense of calm.
Clients often notice:
A sense of relaxation and peace
Renewed vitality and energy
Emotional clarity and release
Sessions are fully clothed and can be in-person or remote. Paul uses a gentle, mindful approach—sometimes hands-on, sometimes hands above the body—to guide your energy toward balance. Personalized Qigong exercises, breathwork, EFT (Tapping) and mindfulness practices are often shared to continue supporting well-being after the session.
What is Medical Qigong?
Medical Qigong is an energy practice with roots reaching back thousands of years in China. It's recognized as one of the foundational branches of Chinese Medicine. Medical Qigong helps the body function at its best by working with Qi, or life force energy. Stress, unresolved emotions, and everyday challenges can disrupt the flow of energy, leaving us tired, tense, unsettled, or sick.
A Medical Qigong practitioner uses specific energy techniques and protocols to help clients clear Qi stagnation and replenish and regulate Qi in areas of excess or deficiency. Among its foundational underpinnings, Medical Qigong draws on Five-Phase Theory to inform treatment goals that help:
Release stagnant energy that may be contributing to illness
Restore a sense of vitality and calm
Support harmony in body, mind, and emotions
It's a practice that complements other wellness approaches, encouraging you to be an active participant in your own healing journey.
Paul’s Journey
Paul’s interest in energy work and holistic health comes from his own experiences with stress, anxiety, and the pursuit of balance. Yoga first helped him cultivate mindfulness and body awareness, while Qigong revealed the subtle yet powerful influence of energy on health and mood. Reiki deepened his ability to support others directly with energy.
Through these practices, Paul has found ways to balance his own energy, manage stress, and connect more deeply with himself and others. His work now focuses on sharing these tools so others can experience the same sense of calm, clarity, and vitality. His energetics training includes:
Medical Qigong Practitioner - Dr. Bernard Shannon / International Medical Qigong College
