She participated in the Boston Red Sox and Mass General Hospital’s trauma program for veterans and post-9/11 service members.  The Shift Network’s 2020 and 2021 Qigong Global Summit attendees delighted in Marie’s effervescent Qigong sessions.

Marie’s beloved teachers include Grand Master Mantak Chia, Master Wei Lun Huang and Master Li Jun Feng -  and all the students who inspire and enrich her life.
