For over 30 years, I’ve walked the path between science and spirit, exploring the subtle yet profound ways our bodies hold wisdom—and how we can unlock it.

​

I’m Kristen Andrews, a Medical Qigong Practitioner in the classical lineage of Traditional Chinese Medicine, trained at the East Coast Institute of Medical Qigong.  My life’s work is helping people reclaim their health, vitality, and inner balance through ancient energetic medicine grounded in modern research and science.

​

My journey began in the Finger Lakes of Upstate New York, where the rhythms of nature first taught me about harmony. From there, I earned degrees in psychology and exercise physiology, competing as an elite rower and later coaching Division I athletes at The Ohio State University. That high-performance world gave me an intimate understanding of alignment—physical, mental, and emotional—and the cost of imbalance when it’s ignored.

But true healing didn’t begin until I faced my own. After suffering multiple concussions, I was left unable to work for over a year. Conventional medicine had no answers. It was Medical Qigong that ultimately restored my health—and my purpose.

 

So, what is Medical Qigong?

Medical Qigong is a powerful form of Chinese energetic medicine, similar to acupuncture without needles. Rooted in over 5,000 years of Taoist healing philosophy & well researched in modern science, it works directly with the body’s bioelectric field (Qi) to clear blockages, harmonize organ function, and awaken your innate ability to heal. In a session, I use precise breathwork, movement, intention, and hands-on energy transmission to help restore the flow of life force through your body’s meridian system—bringing relief to chronic pain, anxiety, trauma, fatigue, and more.

​

My background in psychology, integrative medicine, and somatic healing allows me to bridge East and West, offering a uniquely grounded and intuitive approach. Whether you’re facing a chronic condition, emotional stress, or just feel disconnected from yourself, I meet you where you are—with deep presence and a clear path forward.

This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a return to your true nature. A recalibration of the nervous system. A way to come home to your body—free of what no longer serves you.

​

Clients describe our work together as transformative, even when other approaches have failed. Many return not just to heal, but to evolve.

Outside of my practice, I’m a lifelong student of meditation, bodywork, and outdoor adventure—often hiking and camping with my husband and two children. Everything I teach, I live.

If you’re ready to reconnect with your body’s intelligence and step into a deeper level of well-being, you’re in the right place.
