From the reviews

Raphaela is the answer for so many people! I first met Raphaela 3 years ago and after my first treatment I knew I was in safe hands. I felt so relaxed and had a wonderful nights sleep.

I am on a journey to discovering the many ways to communicate with my body. Since my retirement I have learned an enormous amount at my new “job” of taking care of myself. Raphaela was referred to me by my QiGong teacher. I have never heard of sound therapy.

★★★★★ — Karen, Mar 2025

I discovered Raphaela and her services more than a year ago when I was looking for ways to manage job stress, family, school and life balance. She was literally a God send for me.

★★★★★ — Lawana, Jan 2026

I have undergone surgeries that have caused sensory nerve damage. I also have scoliosis. The sound work with Raphaela has increased my sensory nerve function and decreased the pain from the spinal curvature. I have experienced many types of energy work and find Raphaela to be a delightful, knowledgeable practitioner.

Your first tai chi class at Qi Gong Therapy and Sound Healing with Raphaela

Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.

Tai chi is gentle and low-impact, but it's still exercise, and the health notes here are general information, not medical advice. If you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them to the instructor before class, and check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
