Graziela
is an internationally renowned intuitive healer and Tai Chi Qigong practitioner
from Uruguay. Based
out of the United States since 1998, Graziela has led numerous workshops on
health and healing through energy medicine and Tai Chi Qigong, and has been a
guest speaker at various holistic learning centers and conferences around the
world. She is the founder of Centro
Vida Natural China in Puerto Rico,
a division of the holistic center that her Chinese master, Dr. Li Ding, opened
in Buenos Aires, Argentina a decade ago. Aside
from offering classes and private consultations, Graziela is also participating
in various research projects on the effects of Tai Chi Qigong on physical and
emotional conditions. Last
year, along with a group of psychologists and educators, Graziela also led a
study on the effects of Tai Chi Qigong in children ages 8 to 12.
This study was a first of its kind in Puerto Rico and, while the results
are still being evaluated, the response from the children and their parents has
been overwhelmingly positive. Graziela
is also spearheading this year’s events in Puerto Rico as part of World Tai
Chi & Qigong Day, an international event that will be held on Saturday,
April 6, 2002, immediately following the United Nation's World Health Day.
These events will entail mass public demonstrations by Tai Chi &
Qigong practitioners around the world to bring awareness and visibility to the
community and media. This will be
the second year that Puerto Rico participates in this world-wide event. Graziela
is also a founding member of a pioneering team of professionals that is working
with the correctional system of the State of Georgia with the goal of reducing
the job-related stress that has led to intolerable levels of disease and
violence in the system. Graziela
intends to accomplish this goal through the integration of the practice of Tai
Chi Qigong into the daily routine of both the personnel and the inmate
population. Last year’s pilot
programs were extremely well received and effective. In
South Florida, Graziela is also working with Nilza Kallos, MD, a medical doctor
who is the founding director of W.I.T.H.I.N., an integrative medicine center in
South Miami. Last year, she joined Dr. Kallos in a panel discussion
comprised of medical doctors and practitioners of energy medicine at the
University of Miami. Biographical
information. A
former attorney in her native Uruguay and in Argentina, Graziela Ferretti is an
internationally renowned intuitive healer, lecturer and Tai Chi Qigong teacher.
Though her intuitive skills have been evident since childhood,
Graziela’s healing abilities truly began to flourish as she looked for
holistic approaches to complement the allopathic methods that were failing to
cure her of the degenerative illness that was claiming her life as a young
adult. Her commitment and
determination to heal herself finally paid off several years later, at which
time she completely renounced law to become a full-time intuitive healer. In
1993, under the tutelage of Chinese medical doctor and Tai Chi Qigong Master Li
Ding, Graziela began to practice Tai Chi Qigong, a discipline that perfectly
complemented her emphasis on energy movement, conscious breathing and the use of
imagery for healing purposes. Tai
Chi Qigong helped Graziela further fine-tune her abilities to affect the subtle
energies that comprise the human being — an ability that is palpable from the
moment we hear her melodious voice guiding us on how to move and breathe. Like
other energy medicine practitioners, Graziela treats the individual as a whole
entity — taking into account and helping to align the emotional,
psychological, spiritual, as well as the physiological components that comprise
the human being.
