“Working with Miranda for the past year has been extraordinary.”

Working with Miranda for the past year has been extraordinary. Through seemingly simple and subtle practices, I feel as though I’ve developed an ability to maintain and generate positive physical, mental — and creative results. She’s an extremely generous, intuitive and wise teacher. I can’t thank her enough. I’m not only feeling more grounded in my own, changing physical being, but also connected to a group of inspiring practitioners, the planet — and beyond. I look forward to many years of practice to come.

“I can honestly say that I feel stronger, more resilient, and more able to respond constructively to each moment than I thought ever possible during these months of COVID.”

I’ve been taking classes from Miranda for a year. She has introduced me to a number of different Qi Gong practices at a time in my life when I wanted and needed deeper resources to draw from for health and well being. Miranda has offered such resources in abundance. I can honestly say that I feel stronger, more resilient, and more able to respond constructively to each moment than I thought ever possible during these months of COVID. Miranda is a gifted teacher.  She tailors her sessions to the needs, capacities, and interests of her students. Due to COVID, her classes have been meeting online for months. I’m amazed at how connected I feel to what and how we are learning—and to the positive, supportive energies of Miranda and my classmates. Miranda gives prospective students ample chances to try out her offerings. I am beyond grateful that I gave one of her free introductory classes a try last year!

“Miranda has a wealth of knowledge and is a skilled practitioner.  Maybe more importantly, she is an excellent instructor…  I feel very lucky and blessed to have had my time with her.”

“Prior to having my son, I was a martial arts and energy practitioner for many years. I knew what it was like to feel the pulsating sensation of vitality that came with energy work. But 12 months after having my kid, I was still not feeling myself…. I would still get cold easily, I was chronically tired (even though the baby slept through the night) and I was just feeling disconnected. Through just a few sessions of Miranda’s guided meditation and energy treatments, my body, mind and spirit started to feel grounded again. I no longer needed to wear a winter jacket and flannel pajamas to our sessions and my brain was less foggy. Miranda has a wealth of knowledge and is a skilled practitioner. Maybe more importantly, she is an excellent instructor and is always willing to impart gentle helpful wisdom to her students. I feel very lucky and blessed to have had my time with her.”

“Each class left me feeling deeply relaxed and revitalized.  Miranda’s vividly descriptive instruction made the practice come alive.”

“Three years ago, I was invited to Miranda’s Qigong class by a friend who knew I was at a point of low energy, grieving death of a close family member. Each class left me feeling deeply relaxed and revitalized. Miranda’s vividly descriptive instruction made the practice come alive.  I started having private sessions with her to help me develop my personal practice. This is out of character for me, as I always lacked self-discipline to stick with  other practices. But she patiently worked with me to develop a daily practice that both suits my daily life and has depth and power.  I am more attuned and connected to my body, my back feels young again, I no longer have a feeling of stagnation in my abdomen, and my posture, energy, breathing have all improved. Finally, I am feeling more in touch with my creativity and more courageous to make important necessary changes in my life. I am convinced that Miranda is teaching a wonderful traditional practice for long term health and longevity.”

“Miranda Maher is a calm and light force…”

Miranda has helped attune my awareness to the important relationship between our body, the physical world and the elemental, unseen world and how deeply that affects my health and mental well being.

I’ve learned both Tai Chi and Qigong from Miranda for the past several years. Her serene manner, patience and her poetic visualizations allow an element of spirituality to infuse the practices without becoming “new age-y.” Miranda has helped attune my awareness to the important relationship between our body, the physical world and the elemental, unseen world and how deeply that affects my health and mental well being. In our one-on-one sessions, her compassion and insight are helping me focus my needs as a woman and as a creative person finding my way back to my creative source…  all while dealing with the vicissitudes of daily life.  Between the revitalizing energy work of her Qi Healing, her insights in her mentoring and the better breathing skills, meditation and movement I’ve learned from her, I have begun to shed some of the emotional and physical limitations previously hindered my progress.   I can’t recommend Miranda highly enough.
