Welcome to Integrative Body Works! The online home of David Parker, CMT. Here you will find information on my Energy-Bodywork practice, Massage Therapy, and Sebastopol Qigong and Taijiquan classes.

What is Qigongfu anyway?

Well...  it's not a real word, but it contains some Chinese words and ideas.

Qi– Breath, air, energy. Some people think of qi as life force. It is the "spark" that motivates all things in life and the universe.

Qigong– Literally, energy practice, breath skill, or the like. Qigong exercises combine posture and movement with breath and mind focus to build and move qi in our bodies.

Gongfu– Contains the ideas of practice and time, and means a skill developed by practicing something over a period of time, or just what you do in your spare time. You can cultivate gongfu in anything you like to do.
