My story
Western science and Eastern healing, together
I’m Sheli Berger. I have a BSc in Physiology, and I teach Medical Qi Gong, a therapeutic branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It combines exercise, stretching, breath work, mindfulness and meditation in one practice. I trained in Western medical science and in Eastern healing, and I use both: Chinese medicine guides the practice, and physiology explains what it’s doing in your body.
Through the consistent practice of Medical Qi Gong, I have brought my body into complete remission from:
- Lupus (autoimmune)
- Epilepsy
- Osteoporosis
- Migraines
- Regular stomach ulcers
- Thyroid disease
- Insomnia
- High blood sugar
- Lost 10kg / 22lbs
- Repaired damaged metabolism
- Hairline fracture in foot (3 years)
- Rib injury (16 years)
- Painful swollen acne

In their words
What people are saying
The physiology
How it works
Shifts your body into healing mode
Out of fight-or-flight and into the parasympathetic state, where repair can take place.
Restores circulation to the organs
Breath and movement bring blood flow back to areas that have been restricted.
Activates the meridians
The body’s communication pathways, so its systems can reconnect.
Works organ by organ
Each practice focuses on one organ system, restoring function step by step.
Releases stored tension
Physical and emotional tension let go naturally, without forcing or reliving anything.
These changes don’t come from forcing the body. They happen as the body returns to proper function.

- It works on the same pathways of bioelectricity (meridians) that acupuncturists use.
- It's considered the highest branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine, because it's something you do for yourself.

- It combines exercise, stretching and breath work with mindfulness and meditation.
- When you practise Qi Gong, you exercise both your body and your mind.
Show all 28 things
- Tai chi came from Qi Gong.
- Qi Gong is about 5,000 years old; tai chi about 800.
- Qi Gong is simpler to learn than tai chi.
- Tai chi strengthens the body for fighting; Qi Gong strengthens the body for healing.
- Qi Gong was originally used by martial artists (karate, kung fu and others) as part of their training, because it helps the body reach peak performance and stay there. It makes the body more resilient, helps avoid injuries, and helps it heal faster if an injury does happen.
- Today professional athletes use it to sharpen focus (especially under pressure), increase energy and endurance, improve dexterity, and recover faster from injury or illness.
- It improves blood flow to the brain, and improves energy levels, concentration, productivity and memory.
- It lowers anxiety, reduces stress and releases trauma. Negative emotions and past trauma are released so gently that people feel light, uplifted and emotionally free.
- It helps establish healthy sleep patterns.
- In China it's taught to cancer patients, and to patients with chronic and autoimmune illnesses.
- It reduces the side effects of cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy.
- It's used as a medical therapy to increase a patient's healing power and regulate the immune system.
- It improves your body's ability to absorb nourishment: vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients from food and supplements. It also helps medications and treatments work better. Most people report that after a while they can lower their medication, and some come off it altogether. Side effects from treatments are also reduced.
- It helps with digestive problems, balances blood sugar, and reduces food cravings and allergies.
- Because it balances hormone levels, it helps with weight that's hard to lose, fertility issues and menopause.
- It's effective in relieving both acute and chronic pain.
- It's good exercise and fun to do, and leaves you feeling refreshed, replenished, peaceful and calm.
- It's kosher.

Try it
You can't read about Qi Gong. You have to feel it.
People often tell me that the Starter Masterclass answered all the questions they had, and showed them what Qi Gong is really about. I can’t give you that in words, not even in a Zoom consultation with me. Qi Gong is something you experience in your own body.
So my advice is simple: start the Starter Masterclass and try it for yourself. If it isn’t for you, you have 14 days to swap it for another masterclass or get a full refund.

Why Qi Gong
The practice many others came from
Qi Gong is one of the oldest healing systems in the world, practised for thousands of years. Many of today’s wellness practices, like exercise, breathwork, mindfulness, stretching routines, tapping and even somatic therapy, draw on principles Qi Gong has used for generations.
Over time, these were split up: exercise in one class, breathwork in another, meditation somewhere else. Qi Gong keeps them together. One session is exercise, breathwork, meditation, mindfulness and meridian work at the same time.
What ties it all together is Qi. In Chinese medicine, Qi is the body’s own intelligence, keeping the organs, the breath and the nervous system working in rhythm. In physiology terms, Qi Gong moves the nervous system out of stress mode (sympathetic) and into healing mode (parasympathetic). From there, the body breathes better, digests better, sleeps more deeply and repairs itself.
