Certified Instructor Sue Crites is also a Master Healer, Energy Healer, Holistic Nutritionist, Practice Group Leader, and Level 5 Practitioner. Sue has her own distance healing practice and teaches qigong both online and in-person in Alberta (Athabasca and Edmonton) and Yukon. Sue is passionate about sharing the message that healing comes through balance. In 2010, Sue experienced a profound transformation in her health (hip pain; allergies) and emotions after practicing Spring Forest Qigong. Sue infuses Spring Forest Qigong and The Five Element Theory into her healing practice, which is a combination of Holistic Nutrition, Auricular Medicine, and lifestyle guidance.

Sue also leads retreats, writes (see her work in The Huffington Post and The Elephant Journal), and started an online weekly Spring Forest Qigong practice community to support herself and others who do not have access to a local practice group. Sue’s vision is to help individuals balance and heal, creating space for happiness, connection, and love. Sue enjoys spending time outdoors in the boreal woods surrounding her home outside of Athabasca, Alberta, Canada. You can learn more by visiting her website www.suecrites.ca.
