At Fountain of Qi (pronounced chee), we believe wellness is more than just healthy habits — it's a conscious way of living that helps you thrive, not just survive. Our mission is to offer practices that are fun, accessible, and nurturing to your mind, body, and spirit.
"Fountain of Qi" means source of energy — and that source is already within you. Together, we’ll tap into the natural energies that help you feel good, build vitality, live pain-free, navigate emotional currents, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with what lights you up.
Helps reduce stress and anxiety, boosts energy, improves sleep, strengthens immunity, enhances balance and coordination, promotes emotional well-being, and supports healthy aging. Accessible to all ages and fitness levels—even from a chair—it offers a gentle yet powerful way to improve overall health and vitality.
Simple yet powerful practice that, with even a few minutes a day, can reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus, boost mood, increase self-awareness, enhance empathy, and support better sleep. There’s no single “right” way—what matters most is patience and finding the technique that works best for you.
Deepens mindfulness by anchoring you in the present, reduces stress and anxiety through calming the nervous system, improves emotional regulation by fostering thoughtful responses, and supports mental clarity and focus by boosting oxygen flow to the brain.
Helps reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels, boosts mood by increasing serotonin and dopamine, eases muscle tension and chronic pain, stimulates healthy circulation for better recovery, and enhances flexibility and range of motion by loosening joints and connective tissues.

"I didn't know how valuable the weekend would be to me until I did it. Nicole has an incredible way of facilitating, teaching and giving us tools that would be life changing. The hospitality, accommodations and meals were top notch. I had never tried Qigong and hadn't spent much time doing meditation or guided breathing and they were such welcome additions to the weekend along with guided hikes and thoughtful dialogue. I left feeling a sense of calm and energy along with tools for the future. I can't recommend this experience enough!"
