Medical Qigong Movement Practitioner Training
Heal yourself.
Then teach others.
A year-long, self-paced certification in Medical Qigong designed to transform how you understand your own body before you guide anyone else through theirs.
MQMP qualifies you to lead Medical Qigong movement flows and prescribe movement and sound practices. It does not qualify you for table sessions — that's MQP, the next level, for which MQMP is the prerequisite.

How the program is structured
Three parts, designed to unfold over a year.
Foundations
You'll build the energetic and conceptual foundation the rest of the program depends on. Understanding what Qi is, how it moves, and how your energetic blueprint was established before birth. You'll learn to identify the key structures of the energetic body, work with your breath and posture as clinical tools, and arrive at the seasonal wheel with your own constitutional factor identified and your first Healing Sounds practice underway.
The Seasonal Wheel
You'll move through each of the four remaining Elements in depth. Learning the organ channels, the spiritual aspect housed in each organ, and the emotional landscape of both balance and imbalance. By the time you've completed the wheel, you'll be able to identify elemental imbalance in yourself and others, work with organ-specific Healing Sounds, and understand how the generative cycle connects everything you've studied.
Integration + Application
You'll bring the full program together. Learning the meditations, tonifying and regulation exercises, and prescription design frameworks that allow you to build personalized Medical Qigong flows for individuals and groups. The program closes with MQMP.111, a two-day in-person intensive where you'll practice what you've built, complete your live teaching demonstration, and earn your certification.
The in-person intensive
MQMP.111 is the final step for certification-track students. Two days at the HRart Center in York, PA.
- Offered twice a year. Required for certification.
- If you're the only student ready, it runs as a private mentorship intensive.
- Live teaching demonstrations coordinated across both days.
- 600 Hartley Street, Suite 160, York, PA 17404
Foundation + Review
The Five Stages of Healing and a full exercise review — shared vocabulary before application begins.
Case Scenarios + Prescription Design
Individual and group case scenarios, live prescription design, and teaching demonstrations observed in real time.
Common Questions
No prior experience is required. The program begins with foundational theory and builds from there. Students come from all backgrounds—wellness professionals, HR practitioners, people navigating burnout or illness, and those who simply want to understand their own energy.
Yes. The full curriculum is available to anyone who enrolls. Certification requirements—practice hours, reflection paper, teaching demonstration, portfolio, and MQMP.111— apply only to those pursuing the formal credential.
If you follow the recommended one-year timeline, your personal practice requirement works out to roughly 30 minutes a week. The full program is 100 hours — module work is self-paced with no live sessions and no deadlines beyond your own certification goal.
MQMP is the foundational level — it qualifies you to lead Medical Qigong movement flows and prescribe movement and sound practices. It does not qualify you for table sessions. MQP (Medical Qigong Practitioner) is the advanced clinical level, including hands-on treatment. MQMP is a prerequisite for MQP.
All four volumes of Secret Teachings of Chinese Energetic Medicine by Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson are required. They’re available through online retailers. Reach out before your reading assignments begin if you have any trouble sourcing them.
