Since 1982, Michael taught Qi Gong — alongside T'ai Chi Ch'uan (Taijiquan), martial arts, and Taoist meditation — through classes, seminars, and private instruction, both nationally and internationally.
His therapeutic work took him to Sierra Tucson, the addiction treatment center recognized alongside the Betty Ford Center for helping celebrities and others reclaim balance while recovering from addiction. There, he taught Qi Gong as a supportive healing modality for patients in rehabilitation and recovery.
Michael also created the original Qi Gong program for the launch of Miraval, the renowned destination resort and spa in Catalina, and taught at other world-famous retreats such as the Enchantment Resort in Sedona, Arizona.
