Robin’s history with the HWF and Dr. Jahnke, the founder.

I studied tai chi and qigong with Roger Jahnke http://www.feeltheqi.com/Dr_Jahnke/ from 2016 to 2019 during three intensive seminars. In 2019, I completed the 200 hour teacher training program with the IIQTC, the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi http://www.instituteofintegralqigongandtaichi.org/. Being part of this community, or Qi Family, has been a wonderful support as I continue to grow and learn in my practice.

Dr. J published his book The Healer Within in 1997 and I am not exaggerating when I say that working with him and learning these practices has been life-changing. I am indebted to Dr. J and his many insights on self-healing through Chinese techniques. They have helped me enhance my health and I am committed to sharing these simple but profound self-healing practices with others in our community.

Interestingly, the Healer Within Foundation was founded in 2003 and is an IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Santa Barbara, California. You can learn more here: https://www.healerwithinfoundation.org/. There are many archived practice sessions on the HWF’s Youtube channel.
