Hello Friends and friends to be! Welcome! May this visit lead you into the world of Tai Chi, Qigong and holistic living; together let's build a better version of you!
My name is Vicki Zhao, an Assistant Professor of Chinese at University of Texas at Arlington. Besides teaching Chinese language and culture, I am passionate to help people live a healthy and happy life with holistic approach. I am a certified Holistic Health Coach and Master Tai Chi and Qigong Instructor. I studied Tai Chi and Qigong during my college years in China and have been teaching in different states in the U.S. for over 12 years. I grew up with holistic and Chinese medicine, and now I am grateful for providing authentic and elite services to my clients.
My holistic health consultation focuses on healthy lifestyle establishment, natural healing with foods and necessary supplementation, home remedies with herbal and self-administered meridian treatments, and proper exercises. Each client has a personalized plan to address the issues and achieve the set goals. I often have clients who came to me after seeing different specialists and took a lot of antibiotics, but the symptoms persist, some even got worse. The reason is that western medicine doesn't treat a person as a whole, take effort to find the root causes, rather divides a person into pieces which comes with specialists. The problem is that each specialist only focuses on one's specialty and does not even consider other parts of the body or systems. Compared to other cultures, we have a higher rate of medical operations and drug use. Lot of people just follow mainstream information and doctors' advice; the results are that they are overloaded with antibiotics and received unnecessary surgeries. Among my students of my age, some had one kind of surgery, and some had a few. Western medicine uses surgery for pain relief, but it causes further damage. I know some surgeries are necessary, but in lots of cases, lifestyle change, nutrition balance and proper exercise can do the job. It's time to take control of your own health. When you know that food is your best medicine, nature provides plenty of herbs for healing, you will feel empowered. Only you, not your doctors, can make you healthy. The human body works miraculously to heal itself; we just need to learn how to offer the help it needs. Too many invasive treatments can cause curable illness incurable. Holistic approach is the way to go.
Numerous studies have shown that Tai Chi and Qigong are effective treatments for anxiety, depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, pain, memory loss and more. Their health benefits are phenomenal and best of all -they are easy to learn. Lots of people take a handful of prescription drugs every day, use more drugs to cover the side effects caused by previous drugs. They might think it is just a part of life. Life shouldn't be this way. Instead, you can turn your health around with lifestyle change along with Tai Chi and Qigong. It is possible to live drug free. The transformations have happened to my clients so it can heppen to you!
What is like to go to Vicki for holistic health consultation?
The initial 1.5 hours session is for your health and lifestyle assessment to get a whole picture of your health. The following session is goal setting and creating an individualized plan. You will make lifestyle, diet and other changes to improve your health. Afterwards, I will be at your side to help you achieve your goal. Some people received immediate results, while others took a little while. You will learn new knowledge and skills, gain power over your health.
Choose the Class Right for You
Tai Chi or Qigong?
Tai Chi takes about 12 sessions/hours to complete. If you take class twice a week, it take 6 weeks. People who can't commit 12 hours for Tai Chi right now, can start with Qigong first. It only takes 6 sessions to complete one set of classic Qigong. It has less movements compares to Tai Chi, so it is easier to learn. The benefits of both exercises are phenomenal and last a lifetime. Tai Chi and Qigong can reduce stress, ease pain, improve memories, strengthen organ functions, improve digestion, strengthen nervous system, improve flexibility, speed up recovery after surgery, to name a few.
Vicki is an excellent Tai chi instructor. My eighty year old dad I have gained many benefits from doing tai chi with Vicki. Our leg strength, balance and flexibility increased. Also, when I had sciatica, tai chi was the only thing that brought relief. I highly recommend Vicki’s Tai Chi and Qigong.

Vicki’s breath of knowledge and skill is masterful! We are blessed to have found her. She is extremely passionate about teaching others about her culture and this ancient technique, that in my opinion, all should learn.
Vicki is kind, patient and fun to study with. My husband, myself and teenage daughter learned so much from her. It even really helped with my allergies and the movement allowed for great flow of energy throughout my body, which I really appreciated. We practice the skills daily and feel more connected and at peace.
As a clinician and someone that helps people find balance, this is an amazing life skill everyone should have for calming balance and stress relief. I would highly recommend taking a class with Vickie. You will not regret it! Thank you to Vicki for sharing your passion and wisdom with us!

I took both tai chi and qigong lessons from Vicki, and now I am taking Level II Tai Chi. I found both exercises very helpful for stress reduction, which I need the most for my current situation. Vicki possesses an extraordinary depth of knowledge that extends beyond the physical movements, encompassing the rich history, philosophy, and spiritual essence of Tai Chi and Qigong. Her teachings also provide a holistic approach that fosters physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It is amazing to see how much that I have learned and grown. It is my honor and privilege to study with Vicki.
