Gentle Qigong and Tai Chi, and Holistic coaching for midlife and beyond.

Grounded support for stress relief, life transitions, and whole-person wellbeing.

Qigong & Tai Chi

My practice is rooted in Body & Brain Yoga Tai Chi where the ancient wisdom of 10,000-year-old Sundo (sun-DOH) - Korean energy healing practices - are combined with modern mind-body methods to help you create lasting wellness.

Qigong (pronounced chee-gong or key-gong) is an ancient mind‑body practice from Chinese medicine and philosophy that uses gentle movement, breath, and awareness to cultivate your body’s natural life energy (Qi). It’s traditionally described in three main branches: medical, spiritual, and martial.Medical qigong focuses on health, vitality, and longevity, using simple movements and breath to support healing and overall well‑being.Spiritual qigong emphasizes inner stillness, presence, and subtle energy awareness.Martial qigong develops internal power, strength, and resilience to support martial arts training and physical performance.Tai Chi (pronounced TIE-chee) is a martial art that looks like “meditation in motion.” It uses slow, flowing, and controlled movements to build balance, coordination, and calm, making it especially supportive for adults who want better stability, confidence, and ease of movement.

Client Mini Story

Qigong & Tai Chi Participant

“I haven’t had asthma attacks in the three months I’ve been here, and I leave class with more energy than when I walk in.”

— Becky T.

One participant shared that Qigong and Tai Chi helped her connect her mind and body in a deeper way. What stood out most was the change she noticed in her breathing and overall wellbeing. She said that during the three months she had been attending class, her asthma had not been bothering her the way it had before.

She also described feeling better mentally, stronger in herself, and more energized after class. In her words, she leaves feeling ready to say, “Look out, world, here I come.”

She had originally come simply to try something different, but noticed a positive difference right away. After that first class, she kept coming back and said it just kept getting better and better.

She now encourages other people to try it for themselves and has even invited friends to come after hearing about her experience. What she most wants others to know is that this practice helped her feel more connected, more energized, and stronger in both body and mind.

Client Story

Holistic Coaching Client

I can’t honestly say enough good things about my experience working with Robbi. Working with my career coach had a profound impact on both my professional development and personal growth. Through Robbi’s guidance and support, I gained a newfound confidence in myself and discovered so much about my values, beliefs, and the kind of career I truly want.

Although I originally began this journey hoping to find a different career outside of teaching, Robbi played a pivotal role in helping me discover that teaching and education are actually my passions and that this career field was where I was meant to be.

What sets her apart is her ability to provide support that extends beyond traditional career coaching. She offered thoughtful, practical advice during both professional and personal challenges, serving as a trusted advisor whose insights consistently helped me make informed decisions and move forward knowing she always had my best interests at heart.

She combines exceptional expertise with genuine care for her clients’ success. Her ability to challenge assumptions, identify opportunities for growth, and encourage meaningful progress is truly unique and invaluable. She pushed me to step outside my comfort zone in ways that were constructive, empowering, and ultimately transformative.

I am deeply grateful for her guidance and the positive impact she has had on my career and life. I would highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a skilled, insightful, and dedicated life/career coach who is truly invested in helping others achieve their full potential.

About Me

I grew up with a deep connection to nature and real food. In Ohio, my dad’s work as a produce truck driver and our family garden introduced us to a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. Summers on my grandparents’ farm in rural Alabama were fun opportunities to gather eggs, feed animals, and eat what we grew. Those early experiences rooted me in wholesome food and a lasting respect for my body and nature.My own wellness journey—including scoliosis, uterine fibroids, and a persistent sinus issue that left me feeling anxious and unheard—led me to explore holistic approaches more deeply. Chiropractic care, nutrition shifts, acupuncture, energy work and a host of other modalities reminded me that my body has its own wisdom. Qigong and Tai Chi deepened that understanding, showing me that healing is rarely just one thing.This path led me to expand my training and certifications in holistic health and Qigong, integrating both into my work as a certified career and life coach. I also serve as a Body & Brain Outreach and Community Service Qigong Instructor, and I’m a member of the American Tai Chi and Qigong Association(ATCQA).For years, I supported people at crossroads—career changes, identity shifts, retirement, or simply feeling stuck—through conversation alone. It was effective, but the deepest shifts happened when people moved out of their heads and began listening to their bodies.In our work together, we settle your nervous system so your body feels safe enough to share what it knows. We explore patterns, stories, and choices across your work, health, relationships, and daily life—turning insight into practical, aligned next steps.I don’t believe in one right formula. I believe in bio-individuality—your path shaped by your body, your season, and your values.

“There is no such thing as a truly ‘normal’ individual - meaning average. We are all biochemically unique and need to be dealt with as such.”- Jeffrey S. Banks, Ph.D. (Biochemical Individuality)

To me, a well-lived life includes honest self-reflection, nourishing food, mindful movement, aligned choices, meaningful work, supportive relationships, and time in nature.In a fast-paced world, it’s easy to lose touch with your body and your true self. My role is to offer space, structure, and support so you can reconnect with your own wisdom and create a life that feels more “just right” than “just getting by.”
