Why does it matter?

It matters because this course gives people the tools to heal past emotional trauma as well as relieve daily stress. It’s a course designed to dive deep into personal development, while teaching a skill that participants can make into a livelihood. It matters because people are tired of over medication or unnecessary surgeries to help them regain their health.

Who we are and why we developed
Qigong Teacher Training

We developed this course because we wanted to hire qualified instructors but weren’t finding the right people, so we decided to start from scratch and train the trainer.

Meet Chris Shelton

Chris Shelton is a certified practitioner and teacher with over 25 years of study and 16 years of clinical experience in Medical Qigong, an ancient holistic health modality that combines Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with movement, breath, and visualization.

He has helped thousands of people across the United States and around the world to reclaim their health and enjoy lives free from chronic pain and disease.

“My goal in inviting you to this training is to teach and empower you to be able to experience the joy and fulfillment of healing yourself and others as I have had the privilege of doing in the last 25 years of my clinical practice. This is the beginning of a journey leading into the cultivation of your own healing power to transform lives and bring yourself and others into wholeness and vitality.”

Meet Parisa Shelton

Parisa Shelton is also a certified practitioner and teacher of Qigong.  Her diverse background makes her the ideal administrator and facilitator for this program.

Chris and Parisa are a husband and wife team who owns and operates Morning Crane Healing Arts Center in San Jose and Los Angeles, California.  They look forward to providing a Qigong Teacher Training course that will transform your life and the lives of those around you.

What Others Are Saying

“Chris’ genuine care for those suffering in pain and discomfort makes a real difference in people’s lives. His unwavering conviction and ability to increase the quality of people’s lives puts him in a league of selfless individuals rarely spotted in normal life.”
Eric Fleishman (aka Eric the Trainer)
Host, A&E TV’s fitness-and-nutrition series “Celebrity Sweat”
“I am proud to say that I am one of the first graduates of Chris Shelton’s Qigong Teacher Training program! I was fortunate to spend more than a year training in-person with Chris by attending his weekly classes at the Willow Glen clinic location, including two full weekend days of hands-on training. Participating in this course with Chris opened my eyes and my body to a deeper understanding of myself and how qigong and the TCM approach to healing benefits me, my family, and those that I teach. Chris’ extensive study and experience in qigong combined with his genuine approach to sharing what he has learned through the years, in his signature style of candor and humor, make this not only a worthwhile investment in your own health and well-being, but a launching pad into a future of unlimited possibilities for expansion and growth in spreading this powerful practice to others.”

“As an acupuncturist, I use the information I learned in the Qigong Teacher Training Program on a regular basis, both teaching classes and one-on-one with my patients to empower their healing process. I’ve worked side by side with Chris for five years so far, and I have watched him repeatedly walk his talk. I have witnessed his passion for qigong, the healing it can bring as he applies it in his own life and his love of sharing this amazing tool with others.”

“Shelton Qigong Teachers Training Level 1 & 2’s point of difference may just be how much self-reflection and self-growth a student gets when they immerse themselves into ‘just being.' Chris and Parisa are authentically themselves and are a fun synergy. They share their knowledge so openly and allow a safe space for students to grow. Level 1 forms the foundations and Level 2 builds to ensure students feel capable and confident. The additional energy techniques were a bonus. I love Qigong and am grateful for the experience.”
Raewyn (QTT Student)
“I was introduced to Chris Shelton while I was getting ready for my Professional début in MMA. I had severely injured my big toe which made it challenging to walk or put pressure on and, as a result, interfered with my training. After three sessions with Chris, the pain was completely gone and I was back to my normal training regimen!”
