A beacon of calm in my life...

​--Dr. Jane Tornatore, Therapist & Speaker in Seattle, WA


Rebecca holds exquisite space, is very clear on instructions, and makes you feel very comfortable.

"Union of Three Hearts is an easy, beautiful meditation to add to your life.
I found it to be subtle and deeply relaxing. I've felt more centered than I have in a long time when doing this practice.

After the first session, that night in my dreams my dantian, the storehouse of qi deep in the navel, was GLOWING and I felt so excited to be connecting to that part of me!

Rebecca holds exquisite space, is very clear on instructions and makes you feel very comfortable. She has a wonderfully grounded, deep, open-heartedness.
She makes herself available anytime to answer any questions or help you out with any issues that may arise for you.

I've enjoyed all of her Sheng Zhen classes and this class departed a sweet, centered being-ness that also facilitated more curiosity and an open hearted way of being in my own life."

The pain in my knee is gone.

"I was a little skeptical about qigong and Sheng Zhen at first, but I decided to give it a try for a while and to keep my mind open to a new  practice. I have been doing this for a of couple months now, and I have noticed that I do not have pain in my left knee as I used to have it before. I was told by my doctor that it is arthritis and that I just have to do exercise and  use a hot pad once in a while; if the pain is more, then take some ibuprofen. However, after practicing Sheng Zhen Healing, Stage 1 for a couple months, the pain in my knee is gone. Now I can go up and down the stairs and walk without the pain. Thank you for introducing the  Sheng Zhen practices to me." - Pallu, Mercer Island, WA

Her calm, confident, and joyful demeanor relaxes my students...

"Rebecca has provided Qigong instruction to my middle school students several times over the last two years. Her calm, confident, and joyful demeanor relaxes my students and allows them, and me, to experience something we don’t frequently experience in our busy day-to-day lives. With Rebecca’s gentle direction we have had the opportunity to slow down and notice the energy around us and in us. Students have described sessions with Rebecca as peaceful, relaxing with “floaty-moments”. They say that Rebecca is nice, clear, and makes it easy to understand the movements and I couldn’t agree more. I look forward to having Rebecca back as a guest instructor again and again.” — Hannah McHugh, Adventure & Wellness Instructor at SGS, Seattle, WA

She puts a smile on my face every time we work together! 

"In addition to offering longer group classes, my wonderful Sheng Zhen & Qigong teacher, Rebecca Clio Gould, offers short private lessons that fit into my busy life.  She has guided me to establish a routine that is do-able and that I can stick with.  Because she offers these short sessions via Skype, I can even travel and still meet with her online. 

Imagine having a meditative movement practice that includes focusing on happiness and fun and positive energy.  Learning Sheng Zhen from Rebecca gives me a new lease on life, more energy, better breathing, more upper body exercise, and hope for continuously improving physical and mental health.  I'm so happy to have found her and to be doing one-on-one work with her.

Rebecca is a joy to learn from.  Her easy, happy laugh and her passion for Sheng Zhen and Qigong are infectious and motivational, and I highly recommend her.  She puts a smile on my face every time we work together!" —  Maggie Knowles in Seattle


Participants have learned new ways of connecting to their own energy and to others.  ​

​"I hired Rebecca to teach a weekly Chi Kung and Meditation class at our facility a few years ago.  Although I didn’t know if there would be an interest, Rebecca quickly established herself and the class has blossomed under her guidance.  The benefits of having her as an instructor, and this format has been overwhelming.  Participants have learned new ways of connecting to their own energy and to others.  Recently a close friend's 20 year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer.  I knew immediately who to turn to to help her through her difficult journey.  Rebecca is unique in the way she relates to young, old, healthy and those needing extra guidance.  She is a blessing to our community." ​—  ​​Dana Azose, Group Fitness Coordinator at the Stroum Jewish Community Center in Seattle, WA


Positive energy, compassion and thoughtful approach... 

"I found Rebecca to be extremely helpful to me at a time when I was seeking to find balance in my life. Her positive energy, compassion and thoughtful approach provided me with the support I needed to see things from a different perspective, to feel empowered to make change, and to find gratitude and appreciation in myself. Her kindness, ability to listen and gently challenge me when I needed it, mixed with her calm, practical nature were just what I needed to help me move forward on achieving goals that I had been unable to achieve on my own. Thank you, Rebecca." -Anonymous, Coaching client,  Seattle, WA

Her service has transformed my life...

She gave me, and the women in our circle, a safe space to release, express, forgive, be seen and heard and felt as we felt enraged, depressed, euphoric, and a wild mix of emotions. Her ability to guide us into our deepest intuitive self is a true, sacred gift. Her service has transformed my life, heart, and healed many wounds of my past. --Lauren Joy Herrera, Women of Wisdom Conference, Seattle WA

Thank you Rebecca, for Breath Empowerment and for helping me get to a true “Yes” to life!” -Robyn F., Pahoa, HI


I have never felt better.

"I have known Rebecca Gould since 2008. Under her care, with massage, craniosacral therapy, Sheng Zhen, coaching, and energywork, I have never felt better. Her expertise dispelled emotional issues that I had held in my body for years, as well as the healing of a back injury. The combination of mind, body, and spirit under expert care makes for a winning combination and balance in my life. It is so nice to have a spring in my step, laughing qigong in my heart, and body free of pain and suffering. Thank you, Rebecca." -Mary L, Anacortes, WA


She has a great toolbox...

"During the time I worked with Rebecca, I was able to quit a job that was draining me dangerously and I finally took the leap into doing more creative and fulfilling soul work.  She has been a supportive mirror to keep me accountable for making the changes I knew I needed to make in my life if I want to be the person I know I can be.

Rebecca was a great mentor and coach to work with because she held a relaxed space of love and listening, but most importantly she also challenged me to move past blocks I knew were there but couldn't move through on my own, asking me the right questions at the right time so that I could see where I was stopping myself and make the choice to move forward.

Rebecca is knowledgeable in many areas, not just limited to holistic health and nutrition. It was refreshing that I could talk about anything that was coming up for me in life, and she was able to meet me there.  As someone who works with feminine empowerment, I deeply respect her passion and commitment to women's sexuality and awakening.  

I would highly recommend Rebecca to the woman who is ready to finally figure out a solid plan to feeling great, and also exploring the feminine, sensual, and sexual dimensions of life.  She has a great toolbox of holistic health and nutrition knowledge, bodywork experience, and knowledge of energy systems that combined make her an amazing coach for women looking to be happier and healthier than they have ever been before." -- Vanessa Nova, Austin, TX
