Qigong Teacher Training Certification
Qigong Teacher Training Certification Program, Universal Healing Tao
with Olivier Barre’ & Debra Nash-Galpern, LAc
Dual Certification Coursework:
Qigong Teacher & Chi Nei Tsang Practitioner Certification, under
Master Mantak Chia’s Universal Healing Tao (UHT) System
This is the real thing. It is also a once in a lifetime opportunity, as, for the first (and maybe only) time, we are bringing this world-class teacher, and this top tier certification program, to the Oregon Coast! Usually one has to go to Thailand or Europe, and spend a lot more time and money, for this exceptional training.
With a maximum enrollment of 24 students, so that we have the proper student/teacher ratio, we will be meeting in Florence, on the Oregon Coast, four separate times, over nearly two years, to complete this duo certification program, which includes coursework in Qigong, Tai Chi, Tao Yin (Taoist Yoga) & Chi Nei Tsang (Internal Organ Massage), and much more. You will learn a cohesive curriculum, while focusing on deep self-healing, and then, at the end of the training, you will be eligible to test to become an Associate Qigong Instructor, as well as a Chi Nei Tsang Practitioner, under Master Mantak Chia, of the Universal Healing Tao!
Why am I doing this? Simply stated, we need more Qigong Teachers/Chi Nei Tsang Practitioners, to deeply heal themselves and then reach out to our local communities to provide profound healing for others, in schools, community centers, women’s shelters, trauma healing programs, and retirement centers. This is a big part of my raison d’être, along with raising my children and continuing my practice of acupuncture and herbal medicine, prior to retiring sometime in the next couple decades.
Please see the schedule below, and feel free to email me with any questions.
We hope you can join us!

Master Teacher Olivier Barre' of France
Born in 1973, Olivier has been practicing the teachings of Mantak Chia since 1997 ( at 23 years old). He is now a senior Teacher (Level 2 Senior Instructor) in Qigong and a senior Teacher and Practitioner in Chi Nei Tsang (Deep Internal Organ Healing Technique). It teaches the basics (microcosmic orbit and macrocosmic orbit, energy connections, inner smile and 6 healing sounds), the different warm-ups, iron shirt 1 (posture), iron shirt 2 (tendon strengthening), tao yin ( taoist yoga) healing love and sexual energy, iron shirt 3 (nei kung to strengthen bones), tan tien chi kung (power of internal pressure), tai chi chi kung level 1 & 2, magnetism (cosmic healing & buddha palms), fusion 1 (refine one’s energy body and nourish one’s spiritual body), fusion 2 (multiply virtuous energy, open thrust and belt channels), fusion 3 ( opening of psychic channels) and the qi gong of stem cells. He is recognized by Master Mantak Chia to train and certify instructors in these practices. Olivier has also practiced many qi gong (with Tom Bisio, Wang de Feng, Master Ma, Master Buu…) outside the school of Mantak Chia but has always focused on the precious teachings of Master Chia.
Olivier is a practitioner of traditional Chinese energy (herbs, acupuncture and Chinese manual therapy: zheng gu tuina). He studied at the Wang Academy in Toulouse, where he now teaches and assists Ms. Wang de Feng, and did an internship at the Beijing University Hospital. He graduated in the study of Jing fang by Dr. Robidoux (classic herbal formulas according to Shang Han Lun from the lineage of Dr. Hu Xi Shu and Dr. Feng Shi Lun). He also followed the teachings of Tom Bisio (orthopedic acupuncture, visceral listening, cranio-sacral listening, zheng gu tuina, Chinese medicine and sports trauma) as well as Sylvain Cardinal (intramuscular acupuncture & trigger points). He has created an original system of fascia tissue listening called tuina of water that mix classical fascia tissue listening with old ancient Chinese medicine system
He is also a Capoeira teacher (Contra-mestre) and a graduate in Philosophy.

Debra’s class was so rich in techniques, history and information on Qigong and the many benefits for self and others. I learned how Qigong is so much more than movement exercises with health benefits. I was able to immediately use the information when I got back into my Physical Therapy clinic the day after class.
I appreciate the integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and application into everyday strategies for relaxation, muscle awareness and energizing movement. I am very interested in the Chi Nei Tsang, organ massage, and its health benefits and application in working with clients.
I am looking forward to continuing the training of the Universal Healing Tao and learning more about the integration of body systems and organs and self healing.
