My curiosity about wellness and the human body led me to study exercise physiology at the University of Victoria, where I received a masters degree in 1991. I worked with a spectrum of clients, ranging from chronic pain clients to elite national-level athletes. As an exercise therapist working with injury rehabilitation clients who were not healing, I noticed the effect of mind, emotions, and spirit on a patient’s recovery. This fueled a desire to learn about non-physical components of healing, such as psychology, and alternative healing modalities.
“Flowing Water never stagnates and the hinges of an active door never rust…if the body does not move, Jing does not flow. When Jing does not flow, Qi and blood stagnate.”

Helping you move beyond patterns that no longer serve you through actionable tools and guided practice.
Medical Qigong is one of the four branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It focuses on restoring balance to the body’s energy systems to support physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Sessions may include energy work, breathing techniques, guided awareness, and practical tools to continue your healing between appointments.
No. Trauma exists on a spectrum. Many people carry unresolved experiences that continue to affect their health, relationships, emotions, or daily life. Disarming Trauma is designed for anyone wanting to better understand themselves, reconnect with their body, and move toward lasting healing.
Not at all. The book is an excellent introduction to Caroline’s approach, but many clients begin with a private session or one of her programs. Whether you start with the book or a session, you’ll receive guidance that meets you where you are.
Yes. Most private sessions are available both in person and online through Zoom. Many clients experience meaningful results from the comfort of their own home.
Your initial appointment is an opportunity to explore your health history, current challenges, and personal goals. Together, you’ll identify areas of focus and create a personalized approach that supports your healing journey.
No experience is necessary. Caroline works with people from all backgrounds and guides each person at a pace that feels comfortable and supportive.
As someone who has experienced the profound benefits of Medical Qigong firsthand, reading Disarming Trauma felt like a deeply insightful extension of the healing work Caroline offers in person. This book bridges the gap between bodywork, Divine connection, TCM theory and real-world experiences. It offered me a roadmap to understanding how the physical body holds onto our life events, and how it can safely learn to let go. Caroline explains complex physiological and emotional concepts in a way that feels accessible and deeply validating. For those people like myself, who weave the world’s existence through their thought processes, the chapter on transforming the energy of trauma through feelings and emotions will be very helpful. Caroline never sugarcoats the fact that facing trauma can sometimes be deeply uncomfortable. However, that raw honesty is exactly what makes this information so impactful. Don’t expect today’s popular “insta-healing therapy” trends that make trauma recovery look effortless and quick. This book offers a much-needed reality check. It’s grounded in the fact that lasting change only comes when we are willing to sit with discomfort and do long-term deep, honest work. Disarming Trauma is a practical guide with self exploration exercises. It’s for anyone looking to rebuild a relationship with their physical wellbeing & their complex past…and we all have a complex past. I highly recommend this book to people navigating their own healing journey, as well as anyone curious about the role Medical Qigong plays in long-term emotional well-being. Kelly H.
