Iris has always been interested in finding natural and effective ways to improve health, well being, and reduce stress. She became passionate about the ancient healing art of Qigong after moving to West Los Angeles area in 1996 to learn from renowned spiritual teachers, energy healers, and Qigong masters. Since then she has been leading and teaching Qigong, breathwork, and meditation practices for many years now with others also interested in optimizing their health and well being. With these simple yet profound alchemical practices, we can work skillfully with our own energy to optimize and calm our minds, bodies, and spirits, and strengthen our immune system, resulting in overall better health. Qigong is very easy to learn and practice, and has been used effectively for many centuries for health and longevity, giving us natural ways to strengthen our innate natural healing abilities and find ease and peace within. She completed teacher trainings at Esalen through IIQTC, receiving certification in 2019, as well as healer training and certification from David Elliott for leading breathwork meditation groups in 2008. She has been teaching Qigong classes since 2019 and looks forward to sharing these practices with those who are also interested in optimizing their health and well being. Additional interests and passions include working with Biogeometry, a type of sacred geometry used for harmonizing and balancing homes and environmental spaces. And whenever possible, she can be found on the nearby hiking trails, enjoying the beautiful nature here.
