“I took my first workshop with Jackie in April 2023. She was recommended to me by one of my qigong teachers. I have since taken 4 full day workshops, an online class and a Tai Chi workshop as well as some individual medical qigong healing sessions. Jackie is an amazing teacher and human being. She is very knowledgeable and able to break the forms down into small sections so that after each session I came away with enough information to practice on my own. Jackie is available for questions and has offered some hour-long sessions on Saturdays to help her students have consistency with their practice and the ability to ask questions. Jackie uses both humor and compassion in her teaching style.

In addition to feeling centered and grounded after each session, I felt that I was part of a caring community. To have the ability to impart information and create a safe and fun space is clearly a gift. I encourage you to give yourself the opportunity to work with Jackie to bring more calm and peace into your life.”

“Testimonial FOR JACKIE CLOSE, EAMP, MTCM, DCEM
from Nicole A, life coach, California

The story of the impact that Jackie’s work has had on my health is so astonishing that it only needs, really, to be a simple chronology.

I have had chronic diarrhea for nearly 30 years (since some very traumatic events in my life in 1998). Non-stop. 100% of the time. I have seen at least 10 gastroenterologists over the years, in 2 states, who all basically scratched their heads and said,” I don’t really understand. But it won’t kill you. Live with it.”

I was referred to Jackie by 2 people I trust and I thought I’d give this remote Qigong healing idea a try. I do generally believe in the efficacy of the subtle healing arts like acupressure, Soma work, meditation, acupuncture, etc. But I knew nothing about Qigong .

I have now had a total of 3 sessions with Jackie over a period of the last 3 months. After our 2nd session, where she really focused on my digestive system, I noticed a pretty startling change within 3 or 4 days. I began to have normal bowel movements! At first I thought it might be a fluke of some kind. However,I have had a normal bowel movement every day since (including while doing some international travel).  After 6 weeks, it’s pretty clear that this is my new normal.

I cannot explain what has happened via Jackie’s work. But for me it has been measurable, dramatic and life-changing. Literally.

Thank you, Jackie

“I live several states away from Jackie and last year was referred to her by a mutual acquaintance for some individual medical qigong distance healing. I also signed up for two of Jackie’s on-line qigong workshops. This is the third time I have explored qigong in the past 25 years, and Jackie is the best teacher I have ever had by far. She has a deep knowledge of Chinese medicine and healing, explains concepts clearly, and has a great sense of humor. She is also accessible, empathetic, and adept at meeting individual needs. Her skill as a healer has improved my emotional and physical health, and my qigong practice has given me greater calm and stability to manage the uncertainty of the times we live in. I can’t recommend Jackie highly enough.”

“Jackie is a gifted healer. My life has been made better by her “whole being” approach in all aspects of her treatments. I was privileged to receive 20 years of acupuncture treatments, and later - Qi Gong instruction, and most recently, Tai Chi instruction.

I have been helped with chronic pain, autoimmune disorder, anxiety, and post-Covid treatment.

Over the years, I have recommended dozens of people to Jackie. She is constantly learning and evolving her practice and I can’t wait to watch as she continues to help our world heal a little at a time.”
