Chriss Cowan is the founder of the Qi Gong Institute of Summit County, LLC.

Her study of Qi Gong began with her husband’s cancer diagnosis. While learning & practicing Qi Gong to minimize the effects of his illness and its treatments, Chriss also began to experience the benefits of Qi Gong. Acid reflux and sinus infections disappeared. Although her husband did pass from cancer complicaitons, they were both aware that the practice of Qi Gong made a significant difference in the quality of his daily life and their time together.

Her technical training as a cardiac sonographer (RDCS) provided a strong foundation for the study of Qi Gong and the multitude of medical benefits derived from its practice. The heart is also a key aspect of the spiritual side of Qi Gong. The Chinese believe the mind resides in the heart; it is the “who we are in this world.”

After much training, Chriss has focused on medical and spiritual forms of Qi Gong to help those who come to find a deeper connection to themselves and the universe. Her intention is to empower others to help themselves through breathing, meditation, movement, nutrition and other self-healing practices.
