Quiet the Noise.
Move with Clarity.
Deepen your awareness. Refine your discernment. Cultivate consciously, in real life.
Sacred Heart is an ongoing learning and practice community for women, grounded in Qigong, Chinese medicine, self-cultivation, and the depth that comes from practicing together.
You probably don't need more wellness information.
There is no shortage of advice about how to feel better, age well, regulate your nervous system, balance your hormones, improve your energy, or optimize your health.
And much of it may be useful.
But when every expert, podcast, post and protocol gives you something else to consider, wellness itself can start to feel overwhelming.
More things to track. More things to take. More practices to fit in. More opinions about what you should or shouldn't be doing.
The harder part isn't finding more information.
It's knowing what matters for you, right now.
Sacred Heart is about developing that capacity. Not doing everything right, but learning to notice more, discern what deserves your attention, and consciously cultivate what supports you.
What we cultivate together
Sacred Heart isn't about collecting more things to do. It's about developing capacities you can carry with you.
Deepen your awareness.
Notice subtler signals, recognize patterns, and understand what may be shaping what you're experiencing.
Refine your discernment.
Recognize what needs your attention, what kind of support is called for, and what might simply need space.
Cultivate consciously, in real life.
Bring what you learn into the way you care for your energy, meet change, navigate relationships, make choices, and move through ordinary life.
Learn the foundations. Then live them.
Sacred Heart gives you a foundation for the work, and a place to keep exploring it in real life. Come live when you can. Stay connected when you can't.
Build the foundation.
A growing library of core teachings gives us shared language and a deeper understanding of Qigong, Chinese medicine, self-cultivation, and the ideas we return to again and again.
Where the map meets real life.
Our weekly 90-minute gathering is the heart of Sacred Heart. We practice, explore questions, learn together, and work with what's actually happening in our lives.
Stay connected when you can't be there.
Each week, you'll receive a thoughtful integration from our Monday gathering with key ideas, practices, and reflections to carry into your week.
A space you choose to enter.
Continue the conversation, ask questions, and share what you're noticing in a private space separate from social media. No algorithm competing for your attention. Just a community that's there when you choose to step into it.
Come live when you can. Stay connected when you can't.
This work has been a long time in the making.
Dr. Christine Sanmiquel has spent decades studying, practicing, teaching, and working with people through Chinese medicine, Qigong, and the many ways we learn to understand ourselves more deeply.
Sacred Heart grew out of that work, but also out of something simpler: a desire to create a place where women could keep exploring these ideas together. Not just learn them, but ask questions, practice, notice what happens in real life, and come back with more to explore.
She brings a lot of training into the room. But some of the most meaningful work happens when that knowledge meets the lived experience, questions, and wisdom of the women who are there.

What women say about Sacred Heart
Dr. Christine brings such a refreshingly loving, nurturing approach to Chinese medicine and medical qigong. She has a depth of knowledge and lived experience that allows her to introduce concepts and healing practices in gentle, accessible ways. I love how she brings such a beautiful honoring of the feminine into her practice and her classes. I have absolutely loved learning with her!

Dr. Christine Sanmiquel is a modern-day alchemist with the mind of a scientist and a heart of a mystic. I was fortunate to sign up for her Sacred Heart Qigong class last year, and it transformed my practice and how I show up in the world.
