Chris Shelton is also no stranger to catastrophe. After receiving a devastating back injury, studying Qigong saved his life, and within a 10-year timespan, he transformed a debilitating back injury and became a martial arts champion and renowned healer. Having grown up in an abusive and neglectful home, Chris started doing drugs at the young age of 12. Due to living an extreme lifestyle, by the age of 19, he suffered from two heart attacks.
He knew he would end up dead, in prison, or both, so he enrolled in Tae Kwon Do to change his path. One night before a match, he was accidentally kicked in the back and severely injured.
What seemed like a tragedy at the time transformed into his biggest triumph because the back injury is what led him to Qigong, Chinese medicine, and Tai Chi.
It’s what led him to dedicate his life to helping people heal from trauma and mental and emotional disorders, which show up as diseases and chronic pain.
After studying with many master’s and applying these ancient healing arts to his life and clinical practice for over 30 years, Chris has helped countless people reclaim their health and enjoy lives free from chronic pain.
