About Three Treasures Wellness Arts
Sally Stafford, B.Sc., B.A.
Medical Qigong Practitioner, Reflexologist, Champissage Practitioner, and
Certified Tai Chi Chuan & Qigong Instructor
My journey into holistic
wellness is built upon a foundation of scientific inquiry, administrative expertise, and a deep passion for mind-body practices. My academic path
began with Bachelor's degrees in both Psychology and Biology from
McMaster University, providing me with a valuable understanding of the
intricate connections between the mind and body. For fifteen years, I contributed to McMaster’s research community, serving as the Lab
Manager of the Visual Development Lab and subsequently the LIVELab at
the McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind. This experience honed my organizational skills, attention to detail, and appreciation for the scientific process.
Guided by a desire to explore more holistic approaches to well-being, I
delved into the profound wisdom of Eastern traditions. This led to my
certification as a Medical Qigong Practitioner, where I work with the body’s
vital energy to promote balance and healing. My exploration of gentle yet
powerful touch therapies expanded with training in Reflexology and
Champissage (Indian Head Massage), offering deeply relaxing and
restorative treatments.
My commitment to the Internal Arts inspired me to train extensively in Tai
Chi Chuan and Qigong for several years. I am a Certified Instructor of Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong through Ismet Himmet’s Wudang Principles, a 7-year journey that included two months of immersive training on the sacred Wudang Mountain in China—the birthplace of these ancient arts. This experience deepened my embodiment of their principles and prepared me to share their transformative benefits through both private and group instruction.
At Three Treasures Wellness Arts, I integrate this rich and varied
background to support your holistic health. I offer more than techniques—I offer presence. In each session, I hold stillness as a quiet invitation, creating a spaciousness in which your own inner wisdom can rise to the surface. This stillness is not passive—it is a deep listening field where healing unfolds naturally, without pressure or agenda. Whether through the energetic balancing of Medical Qigong, the precision of Reflexology, the nurturing touch of Champissage, or the mindful movement of Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong, my intention is to help you reconnect with the still, centred place within you.
I am honoured to walk alongside you on your path toward balance, vitality,
and the remembrance of your wholeness.
