Jean Clough has been studying Qi Gong since 2000, training with Grand Master Mingtang Xu and with Claire Johnson of the ZY Qi Gong lineage. Concurrently she is studying Taoist Medicine, Tui Na and Qi Gong with Dr. Liu Dong of Ling Gui Qi Gong School. A Level One ZY Qi Gong instructor since 2005, Jean has developed and led several “Hiking Qi Gong” classes combining Qi Gong practice with trail hiking in the forests and mountains outside of Seattle. She owns and runs Seattle Advanced Bodywork Associates, a 12 person massage, acupuncture and energy work clinic, where she has a busy massage practice herself. Jean is also Reiki Master and a Certified Wilderness Leader through the Wilderness Education Association.

Jean says, “I am much inspired by the power and healing available through Qi Gong training. Gaining expertise with your own body’s language is an amazing journey, but not magic. If we listen we can tune in to what is needed. I hope to be like a music appreciation teacher who helps students hear what was always there: the harmonies and discordance in our own bodies. With practice students bring body and mind into harmony, which is to say wellness, with self and the universe.”
