The Wisdom Within Method is an embodied approach to health and leadership developed by Mary Morrison at How We Heal. It integrates Classical Chinese Medicine, Zhineng Qigong, and leadership consulting to help women in midlife use stress, symptoms, and body signals as sources of information rather than problems to eliminate. It's the through-line across all programs and offerings at How We Heal.

Zhineng Qigong (ZQ) is a system of movement and awareness practices rooted in Chinese medicine and developed in China in the late 20th century by Grandmaster Pang Ming, Master Pang studied all the qigong and taiji forms and developed his own and medical hospital was born from it.

Unlike some forms focused primarily meridian channels, ZQ works with Hun Yuan Qi which is the Qi or information inside you and around you in the natural world.

We practice to shift how the body organizes around stress, symptoms and life challenges. Mary has taught Zhineng Qigong online weekly since 2019. Classes are open to beginners.

Hun Yuan Qi Therapy is an energy-based practice rooted in the Zhineng Qigong tradition.

It works with the body's information-level, ie Qi field to support healing and regulation.

Sessions are available in-person and at a distance.

It’s one of the offerings available through How We Heal.

How We Heal primarily serves women leaders in midlife — typically ages 40–60 — who are navigating stress, burnout, health changes, or a felt sense that something needs to shift, and previous trainings are missing something.

This includes executives, entrepreneurs, organizational leaders, and women in significant life transitions.

Corporate wellness workshops and leadership programs are also available for organizations and teams.

Mary offers workshops and speaking engagements on embodied leadership, stress resilience, women's wellness in midlife, Zhineng Qigong, and the intersection of Chinese medicine and organizational health.

She is available for women's conferences, corporate wellness days, leadership retreats, and team programming, with a preference for DC, NY and New England-area and regional engagements.

How We Heal is not therapy and Mary is not a therapist. The work is grounded in Chinese medicine, embodied practice, and leadership consulting.

Rather than focusing on diagnosis or psychological history, the Wisdom Within Method works with the body's present-moment signals — symptoms, stress responses, energy patterns — as information about what's seeking alignment.

Think of it as leadership development and wellness practice intertwined for a complete transformation personally and professionally.

No. While Mary is based in the Washington DC area and available for in-person work and local speaking engagements, most programs, coaching, and Zhineng Qigong classes are available online.
