Kristin Althea's Bio

In 2008, Kristin Althea graduated from an intensive Medical Qigong training program with Paul Fraser, acupuncturist and Qigong teacher. She also became a Certified Pan Gu Shengong teacher, training with Master Ou in 2009. Kristin pairs the experiences gleaned from these amazing teachers with her own strength built by a regular Qigong practice to help heal others through what she calls Meridian Energy Balance.

Kristin is currently in her Clinical Residency year of her Graduate Studies of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs. Kristin is accepting patients at the Clinic of the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Gainesville, FL.

In addition, Kristin teaches a variety of classes to help individuals better themselves by improving their bodies, minds, and spirits. She offers both private and group instruction in Yoga, Qigong, Meditation, Pranayama, and Stress Reduction. Her certification includes completion of a 250 hour yoga teacher training program at Yoga Life in Jacksonville. This diverse program enabled her to cover a variety of subjects which are typically glossed over in yoga classes that focus solely on fitness. Because of this experience, Kristin offers a more complete type of class, one that truly touches upon the heart of yoga.

Kristin’s teaching background stems back to the 10 years she spent teaching and coaching swimming. She taught private and group lessons to all ages, from infants to Grandparents, and coached high school and middle age students as well. During those years Kristin learned to reach individuals on a deeper level, and she applies this depth to the teaching and treatments she gives.

Kristin will continue to teach and treat individuals in the Gainesville area until she graduates from the Academy in June, 2010. At this point, she will move on to set up her own practice.
