About this Seminar:
Carl Donaldson, DTCM, PhD, MMQ, will speak about the powerful role of Qi Gong movement and meditation to impact diabetes. Donaldson believes that every person can heal on a physical and emotional level through targeted nutrition, slow body movement, meditation, and breath work. He has grounded his approach in treating his clients and patients in the ancient Eastern philosophies that the ultimate balance in individuals is gained through approaching and treating the whole person through the integration of mind, body, and breath.
