Raphaela McCormack is a certified Qi Gong Therapist, completing her studies with Master Lisa B. O'Shea,at the Qi Gong Institute in Rochester NY in 2004 and with Master Robert Peng at the Elixer of Light Healing School of Qi Gong in 2008.  She has been a student of Qi Gong since 2001, and practicing as a therapist and teaching Qi Gong and T'ai Chi classes since 2004.   

In 2021 I studied the Foundation Course in Biofield Tuning and in the Spring of 2022 I completed the Practitioner Course and became a certified Biofield Practitioner. 

I am happy to share this new energy work in my practice.                                                                            

  " I grew up in the West of Ireland and I come from a family of three generations of physicians and surgeons, so of course Western Medicine was integral part of my early life. 

I have always known deep within me, there had to be more to health and wellness than just the Western approach, and so my long journey began towards a more holistic practice.

Becoming a vegetarian and studying T'ai Chi in my early twenties, eventually led me to discover Qi Gong. 
 

In 2001 I began my studies in Qi Gong and immediately knew I had found my passion and what to me was a way to bring health and wellness to the body".
