212 Creekside Village Dr Los Gatos CA, 95032About
Dr. Leonard Shen is a Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine (CEM), Master of CEM, CEM Therapist, ordained priest, Reiki practitioner (Levels 1 and 2 certified), and Harvard-trained lawyer, former government official, corporate executive and Chairman of the Board of two regulated financial services companies in the US and Canada. www.linkedin.com/in/leonardshen.
He is the founder of California Qi Gong, a consortium of expert Qi Gong doctors serving clients across the world.
Dr. Shen divides his time between Silicon Valley and Denver, CO, teaching in person and online the ancient Chinese healing practice of Qi Gong, and providing in person and online energy treatments.
Practiced by 10 million Americans today and recognized by the U.S. National Institutes of Health, U.S. Veterans Administration, and major healthcare providers, Qi Gong allows patients to clear toxic energy and traumas accumulated over their lifetime in their bodies, and replace it with clean universal life force energy, or "chi". Closely related to acupuncture, tai chi, yoga and meditation, Qi Gong has been used by hundreds of millions of people over the last 3,000 years for healing, martial arts, and spiritual purposes.
Dr. Shen is one of the few practitioners in the U.S. with a Doctorate in Medical Qi Gong, trained in some of the most sophisticated techniques available. California Qi Gong, a consortium of expert Qi Gong practitioners, offers Qi Gong training and treatments with a focus on under-served populations who otherwise would not have access to its benefits. 100% of Dr. Shen's class proceeds are donated to a homeless shelter in Denver, CO.
