"Qigong and Taichi have transformed my life forever."


"I first met Liping at Tassajara, and I knew immediately that this was someone with whom I wanted to study. Her soft, bright, and clear demeanor radiated joy, compassion, and an inner calm that was palpable.

Liping is a gifted and dedicated teacher, a true healer, and a deep source of the wisdom traditions of ancient China. She is tireless worker, always working for the benefit of others."


- Steve Brock, photographer/musician


"When Liping inserted her first needle at one of my feet, I literally felt my body opening like a flower and the session released something very deep and left me profoundly relaxed and rejuvenated."
—Linda H

Hi, I’m Liping, a Doctor of Chinese Medicine and founder of Qi Dragon Healing Center and Heavenly Essence Qigong Institute. I have been practicing acupuncture and healing for more than 15 years and I am a disciple of both the Heavenly Essence Qigong and Taiyi Swimming Dragon Taichi lineages and have brought these unique Chinese healing, longevity and spiritual arts to the west over the past 20+ years.


Qi Dragon Acupuncture Clinic serves our new Humboldt community of Eureka and Fortuna. Qi Dragon School offers online distant learning, live online or live in-person courses. Our goal is to bring health, hope, joy and strength to your life.

I am looking forward to accompanying you on your new journey of healing, learning and sharing with you my passion for Qigong, Taichi and Chinese Medicine.

Deep bows to all my Masters who shared their wisdom and knowledge with me and to all my patients and students over the years who supported and believed in my healing work and what I teach.
