Learning personal qi cultivation with dozens of various Qigong, Yoga and Native American ritual elders brought forth in Matthew a direct experience of the Medicine Wheel of Meridian Energy, through which HeartMind Bodywork and the Taoveda Qigong Yoga Flow system was developed. He is co-founder/director of the HeartMind Bodywork Training programs.

David Goetz is a graduate of Indiana University and Boulder College of Massage Therapy. Owner of Bodywork Bistro, co-owner with Matthew Sweigart of HeartMind Bodywork.
