Qigong is a traditional Chinese approach to health and wellness. Qi is the vital energy that flows throughout your entire body and what keeps your body functioning. Qi and blood work together and make up your bodies circulation. Having good circulation and healthy blood strengthens your immune system. Qigong helps give you more energy, focus. and help bring mental and emotional clarity. Above all, it helps create a relationship between us and our bodies to nourish our internal alchemy.

 

These practices incorporate stretching and breathing techniques to maximize health and vitality. Qigong focuses on breathing techniques and postures from several traditions including the Qingcheng Mountain tradition of Qigong, the Shaolin Temple, and all over ancient China. Some practices focus on breathing techniques to heal and nourish the five elemental phases in our bodies that correlate to the Qi of our internal organs, as well as incorporating Taiji Quan. These methods are often referred to as the “moving meditations” or "meditation in motion." Whether a stationary exercise or a moving meditation, hard breath or soft breath, it all leads you down to a path of immense rejuvenation.

 

This is the classical approach that focuses on flowing movements related to the philosophical ideas of Yin and Yang as well as incorporating Daoist healing modalities.

From the age of six, Shane Nicholetti has been a student of the martial arts. He began in Shotokan Karate, and not long after moved into Shaolin Kempo Karate, Kung Fu, and Qigong, studying well into his early twenties. In 2018 he trained toward an amateur fighting career in Muay Thai and trained in Thailand. In 2020 he returned to the internal arts, reconnecting with his practice of Qigong and Taiji.

​

After the passing of his mentor, Sifu Neil MacPherson, Shane has continued his study of Qigong and Taiji with his current teacher, Dr. Steve Jackowicz, since 2025.​

Qigong is the cultivation of breath, stillness, and internal energy, a discipline refined across centuries and passed carefully from teacher to student.

Shane is also a gifted medium and psychic. The same stillness and disciplined breath built through decades in the martial and internal arts are what allow him to hold space clearly for Spirit, and for the people who sit with him, whether in the tattoo chair or in a reading.
