About 5 Phases Health

Our Mission

Our mission is to help people live full and radiant lives by connecting them to reliable, high-quality information and tools for health and wellness.

What We Do

We provide total wellness services for the global community, offering instruction in fitness, qigong, tai chi, meditation, and nutrition based on science-backed traditions from around the world. We teach the value of a conscious, mindful lifestyle that naturally supports ease and wellbeing.

Why We Do It

We believe healthy people live better lives. The impact of individual health extends beyond the person to everyone around them, when someone is happy and healthy, they become a positive presence in their community.

From an individual perspective, health is the foundation of everything we do. Every day lived in health is a day of possibility; every day facing illness is limited by what that illness allows. Our goal is to educate and empower people with the tools for sustainable good health.

We believe strongly in the power of making good choices on a daily basis, and that the body, given the right environment, knows how to restore balance and harmony.

Our Origins

For over 20 years, we have been making an impact on people's lives through education in health and wellness, grounded in the wisdom of Five Element Theory and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Using the wisdom of caring for the body, minding the breath and emotions, and cultivating the spirit, we teach the value of a conscious, mindful life. And when a diagnosis has been given, we draw on thousands of years of wisdom to support holistic healing.

5 Phases Health is the expanded presence of The Rising Lotus Qigong, founded in 2003. Since then, we've shared the message of healthy living in schools, universities, health clinics, conferences, corporations, fitness studios, and more.

5 Phases Approach

The 5 Phases Health program pulls from the wisdom of medicine, wellness and healing therapies from around the world. We have merged the intelligence of thousands of years of history -and experience, into a program that tailors exercises, breathing patterns and other techniques into an easy to follow, yet thoroughly effective, practice that you can do in your home health studio.

Our launching point is Five Element Theory which classifies people as Fire, Earth, Metal, Water or Wood. This idea is similar to what you would find in Acupuncture, Qigong, Ayurveda, and other Asian Healing systems. However, we take the next step towards entire (whole) wellness by adding the essential components of physical fitness: strength training, aerobic exercise, flexibility, circulation, and consistency. Together, these perspectives create a comprehensive and thorough regimen that address health indicators that would make any physician smile with approval.

The Rising Lotus Qigong 2003-2022

Founded in Florida in 2003, The Rising Lotus operated as a Qigong school and Therapeutic practice. For 20 years we provided qigong classes to individuals, corporations, hospitals, fitness studios, and conferences. Our teachings were given in lecture halls at Universities, Medical Institutions, private practices and similar. In addition, we taught certification classes in both qigong movements and Qigong Therapy. In the clinic, we treated hundreds of patients with Qi Emission Therapy addressing a myriad of conditions from simple colds, to Stage 4 Cancers, ICU patients, and other medical concerns. It was always our extreme honor to participate in so many people's path to wellness.
In 2020 during the Covid pandemic, we made the difficult decision to shutter services and take a much needed break. While we did continue to provide classes 1:1 for individual students, our credentialing work ended. We are now delighted to return with a clearer vision for wellness and a strong path forward for people seeking the wisdom of health and longevity backed by decades of experience. We look forward to seeing you at 5 Phases Health.
