I've had quite a few Qigong teachers over the years, but Maxine stands out for me as my favorite.  She truly practices what she preaches; you can see and hear her passion for Qigong through her teaching.  She is a seasoned instructor who caters to all abilities, but most importantly provides a comfortable space for all to practice in.  When I walk into her class, I know I am entering a space of calm.  I am so grateful for Maxine's classes and for her helping me to deepen my Qigong practice.  LC (Registered Yoga Teacher & Holistic Health Coach)
