Craig has been at the helm of a successful digital marketing agency for over two decades, honing his expertise in marketing communications, brand development, and leadership.

However, through qigong, Craig found the balance and clarity needed to navigate the complexities of business leadership. He even demonstrated a simple yet powerful qigong exercise called "pulling down the heavens," which integrates mind, body, and breath to foster inner harmony.Craig emphasized the importance of personal experience in understanding the true benefits of these practices. It's not just about the theory; it's about feeling the positive impact on one's well-being and performance.Craig's vision extends beyond his current consulting work.
