"Stress-related illnesses account for over
90% of all doctors’ visits in America." 

What if you could eliminate even half of your visits?

I am a 32-year-old man diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, GERD, and pain predominant IBS. Nothing seemed to alleviate my digestive woes until I began practicing qigong and tai chi with Keith two years ago. It has completely changed my life

Tai Chi/qigong with Keith helps with my stress and anxiety. I love going to class because he makes it so fun. I am always learning new things and really happy I started the Qigong exercises. I would not miss it for the anything!

Inspirational and engaging, Keith Brewer shows anyone how to quickly lower their stress levels. Stress is not only a killer but costs industry billions of dollars in sick days and absenteeism.


Using simple breathing exercises combined with slow, gentle movements from the ancient Chinese healing art of qigong (pronounced chee-gong), without medication or special equipment, Keith shows how to lower stress, as well as problems with high blood pressure, headaches, and chronic pain.

Keith became fascinated with qigong and tai chi after they changed his life at an early age. By the time he was 10, the doctors had all said the same thing: his skeletal issues were too severe and he would end up in a wheelchair by the time he turned 13. However, thanks to qigong and tai chi, today Keith is a fully able martial arts and qigong instructor.


As a result, Keith now shares how anyone can accomplish similar feats. Safer and easier than yoga, tai chi and qigong are endorsed by leading medical institutions, such as the Mayo Clinic, to relieve the many stresses of modern life, both mental and physical. 

“I learned qigong meditation from Keith. It is by far the greatest contributing factor in having lowered both my blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Also, it is an unsurpassed exercise that maintains overall health. Thank you Keith, so much, for showing me this gem!”

“I have scoliosis that causes imbalance when standing and walking. The qigong is absolutely transformational! I can feel the difference after class, where my posture is more relaxed, relieving me of the strain and stress. It has really given me much more hope about my situation!”
