How Do Tai Chi and Qigong Professionals Achieve Greater Balance? A New Alliance Between NAMASTA and the NQA Provides Answers
Many practitioners in the Chinese health care system are very concerned with their insurance coverage and marketing needs. Now Tai Chi and Qigong professionals can achieve greater protection, support, and savings through a new alliance between NAMASTA and the NQA.
(PRWEB) August 2, 2005 -- On the last day of the 10th Annual Conference of
the National Qigong Association, Michael DeMolina, its Chairman, and Bernard
Slede, President of NAMASTA, announced the signing of an agreement between
NAMASTA, the fastest growing membership organization for mind-body professionals
in the USA and the NQA, the umbrella organization of Qigong enthusiasts that
work together to promote Qigong in America.
"We are excited to offer our
members discounted access to NAMASTA,” said Michael DeMolina. "And we feel this
is an important step toward furthering our support of Qigong in
America."
Bernard Slede, President of NAMASTA, added "We are honored to
have established a relationship with the NQA; it will allow us to touch the
lives of even more Tai Chi and Qigong practitioners."
The special rate on
new NAMASTA memberships requires a current NQA membership. Members of NAMASTA
can access health care benefits, liability insurance, reduced rates on business
software, and many other benefits.
Dr. Roger Jahnke, OMD, author of many
books on Qigong, one of the founders of the NQA, and former Chairperson of its
Board of Directors, commented that "NAMASTA meets an important need. As NQA
professional members seek resources to build and sustain their businesses, it is
a great support to have access to services that are pre-screened for value and
fee discounts - in a high integrity context."
Annalisa Cunningham, author
of several authoritative books on wellness, added that "NAMASTA is an
organization I recommend to any mind-body professional who wants support, along
with time-saving tools for building a successful business."
NAMASTA’s
mission is to give mind-body professionals the piece of mind to focus on their
discipline – whether it is Qigong, Tai Chi or other healing arts. To that end,
NAMASTA offers critical business services such as access to low-cost liability
insurance, an alternative health care benefit, member rates on marketing
services and free mentoring for members. For more information on NAMASTA, visit
