5 Day Healing Intensive

with Stephen Schleipfer

April 7–12, 2025 | Alexandria, VA

A rare opportunity for deep, sustained healing.

For one week only, Stephen Schleipfer—renowned acupuncturist and Qigong Tuina practitioner—is traveling from Portland, Oregon to offer a rare opportunity for deep healing in Northern Virginia. With over 20 years of experience, Stephen’s treatments are rooted in a lifetime of internal arts training and a profound, lived understanding of Qi. This Healing Intensive includes five personalized sessions designed to help reset chronic patterns, support long-term health, and reconnect you to your body’s innate capacity to heal. Space is extremely limited—reserve now to work one-on-one with a practitioner whose care runs as deep as his expertise.

  • A Healing Intensive is a focused, week-long series of five personalized treatments designed to create lasting change in your health and well-being. Rather than weekly or sporadic visits, this immersive format builds momentum, allowing your body’s natural healing systems to reset and realign more effectively.

    You’ll receive care that evolves each day based on your body’s responses, addressing both symptoms and root causes.

  • 5 one-on-one sessions (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday)

    2 evening Qigong learning sessions to support your healing

    • Custom treatment plans using:

    • Classical acupuncture

    • Qigong Tuina (fluid, energetic bodywork)

    • Structural acupuncture + hands-on release

    • Electro-stimulation (when appropriate)

    • Nutritional/herbal guidance

  • This intensive is for anyone who:

    • Feels stuck in chronic or complex health patterns

    • Wants to restore balance on a deeper level

    • Is ready to invest in their long-term wellness

    • Is curious about an integrated approach to healing

    Stephen works with conditions such as:

    • Chronic pain and old injuries

    • Fatigue and burnout

    • Digestive or autoimmune issues

    • Hormonal imbalances

    • Cancer support

    • Stress-related imbalances

    • Post-surgical recovery

    • Emotional wellness and more

  • Stephen’s treatments are grounded in Classical Chinese Medicine, but what sets his work apart is his ability to work with the body’s energetic system (Qi) in a tangible, deeply attuned way. After decades of rigorous training and clinical practice, his treatments are precise, intuitive, and powerful—often helping people shift patterns that haven’t responded to other forms of care.

    Each session may draw from the following techniques:

    Classical Acupuncture

    Stephen uses a minimal-needle, highly targeted style of acupuncture that focuses on restoring balance through precise point selection and deep energetic engagement. He works not just with needles, but through Qi—what powers the effectiveness of the treatment itself.

    Qigong Tuina

    A gentle, flowing form of hands-on bodywork rooted in internal martial arts and energetic healing. Qigong Tuina supports circulation, clears stagnation, and promotes deep relaxation while aligning the body’s natural energy pathways.

    Structural Acupuncture & Bodywork

    For clients dealing with pain, tension, or injuries, Stephen integrates orthopedic assessments with hands-on techniques and targeted acupuncture to release muscular holding patterns, improve alignment, and restore functional movement.

    Electro-Stimulation

    In cases where deeper activation is needed, small electrical impulses may be applied to acupuncture points to stimulate healing in the nervous system, muscles, and fascia.

    Herbal & Nutritional Guidance

    Stephen may offer simple, personalized recommendations to support your healing between sessions—often focusing on liver support, digestion, or calming the nervous system using food, teas, or herbs.
