Certified HolisticWellness & Nutrition Practitioner

Certified in First Aid, CPR and AED

I have served as an adjunct assistant professor teaching Chinese language and culture, and that experience deepened my appreciation for guiding others through meaningful learning and personal growth. Over the years, my passion for helping people cultivate healthier, more fulfilling lives through a holistic approach—grounded in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tai Chi, and Qigong—has grown so strong that I chose to dedicate myself to this work full-time. It is truly both a joy and an honor to walk alongside you on your journey toward greater health, vitality, and longevity. I look forward to supporting you every step of the way.

My holistic health consultations center on cultivating a sustainable, healthy lifestyle and supporting the body’s natural ability to heal. I guide clients through balanced nutrition, targeted supplementation, practical home remedies, and self-administered meridian techniques rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I am currently advancing my training in TCM under a renowned doctor in China, focusing specifically on food therapy and food-grade herbal remedies. This knowledge has been deeply empowering, and it is my mission to pass that empowerment on to every individual who seeks my guidance. I believe wholeheartedly that food is the most powerful form of medicine, and that every kitchen has the potential to be the best pharmacy for the entire family.

In many Western settings, people are often prescribed antibiotics, medications, and even surgeries that may not always be necessary. In the process, we sometimes overlook the body's remarkable, innate capacity for healing—and occasionally disrupt it with excessive interventions. The human body is beautifully designed to repair and restore itself; our responsibility is simply to give it the right support and environment to do so. A holistic approach honors this wisdom and offers a path to long-lasting health and well-being.

I am living proof of the effectiveness of this approach. In the past, I experienced multiple prolonged mold exposures that caused severe condition even led skin damage on my arm. I also endured several chemical exposures—one of which nearly cost my life. Thanks to my TCM training, I was able to apply the right techniques at critical moments, even while on the verge of losing consciousness. My healing journey has not been easy; I fought hard and learned invaluable lessons along the way. Emotional well-being is just as important as physical health—if not even more essential. For women who find themselves in unhealthy or toxic relationships, I encourage you to choose yourself and step away, just as I did. Healing begins the moment you reclaim your peace and honor your worth.

Every challenge I faced became a stepping stone toward greater resilience. Today, I am healthier, stronger, and more grounded than ever before. Without any deliberate effort, my weight naturally returned to what it was in my 30s, before I had my children, and my energy and vitality continue to flourish. My journey has reaffirmed a powerful truth: when we restore balance in our bodies, minds, and environments, healing happens in ways we never imagined.

I began my Tai Chi and Qigong journey during my college years in China, and these practices have remained a central part of my life ever since. With more than 13 years of teaching experience across different states in the U.S., I have had the honor of guiding students from diverse backgrounds and helping them experience the profound benefits of these ancient arts. Extensive research has shown that Tai Chi and Qigong can support healing and improvement in many areas, including anxiety, depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, chronic pain, memory loss, and more. The positive effects on both physical and emotional well-being are truly extraordinary. One of the greatest strengths of Tai Chi and Qigong is their accessibility—these practices are gentle, easy to learn, and adaptable to every age and fitness level. Whether someone is seeking stress relief, better balance, improved mobility, or a deeper sense of inner calm, Tai Chi and Qigong offer a safe and powerful path toward long-term health and vitality.

Tai Chi class vs Qigong Class

Tai Chi and Qigong are time-tested practices known for their powerful impact on health and well-being. Together, they offer a wide range of benefits that can last a lifetime, including:

Reduced stress and anxiety
Pain relief and improved mobility
Enhanced memory and cognitive function
Stronger organ and digestive function
Nervous system support
Increased flexibility and balance
Faster recovery after illness or surgery

While both practices promote healing and vitality, Tai Chi and Qigong work differently on the body. For optimal results, learning at least one of each is highly recommended.
Tai Chi Program Overview
Learn a mosr popular form of Tai Chi regardless your fitness level in just 12 sessions/hours.
Qigong Program Overview
A set of classic Qigong can be learned in only six sessions/hours.
With less movements, Qigong is generally easier than Tai Chi and it is for all ages.

What is it like to go to Vicki for holistic health consultation?

The initial 1.5-hour session is dedicated to a comprehensive assessment of your health and lifestyle, allowing us to gain a complete understanding of your unique needs. In the following session, we will set personalized goals and develop an individualized plan tailored to your well-being. This plan may include lifestyle adjustments, dietary changes, and other holistic strategies aimed at improving your health. Throughout your journey, I will provide ongoing support and guidance to help you achieve your goals. While some clients experience immediate improvements, others may see gradual progress over time. You will acquire valuable knowledge and practical skills that empower you to take control of your health and foster lasting well-being.

I've been looking for a Tai Chi leader for a while to continue my training and I'm so happy to have found Vickie. She is a great instructor, she's patient, and willing to review as much as needed. I've completed level 1 and am looking forward to level 2. I do highly recommend Vickie as your instructor for Tai Chi or Qigong.

Vicki is a knowledgeable and patient teacher of Tai Chi. I took her class to learn the 24-form Tai Chi sequence. Vicki understands the best way to teach the movements: first get the basics, then slowly shape the form over time into more correct movements. Having feedback from an in-person teacher is crucial to learning the right way.
