Two Branches Qigong:

Three case studies submitted with our presentations at the

Tai Chi & Qigong Conference at Harvard Medical School, April 30 & May 1, 2026

Case Study 1, Fibroid blood supply eliminated, surgery simplified

Patient A: A woman in her early 30s had three confirmed medium-to-large uterine fibroids underwent five monthly hour-long treatments in Chinese Energetic Medicine with counseling to redirect blocked creative energy, supported by weekly Qigong self-practice. Subsequent surgery took four hours instead of the anticipated eight, as the blood source to the fibroids had been dying off. In addition, due to the fibroids’ blood supply dying off, there was far less internal bleeding due to their removal, and instead of a larger scar resembling a C-section, the surgeons were able to remove the fibroids in pieces, leaving three 1cm scars. The surgeons requested to retain the fibroid tissue for research purposes due to their remarkable condition at the time of the surgery.

Testimonial:

Patient A: When I first came to Dr. Eliza Meeker, I was navigating one of the most physically and emotionally demanding seasons of my life — managing multiple fibroids, endometriosis, and the complexity of ongoing fertility treatments. I was searching for something that Western medicine alone wasn't providing: a deeper understanding of what my body was trying to tell me. Dr. Meeker gave me exactly that, and so much more.

From our very first session, Dr. Meeker's approach was unlike anything I had experienced. With extraordinary empathy, precision, and wisdom, she helped me connect to source energy and root my healing journey in the divine feminine — a framework that gave profound meaning to what I was going through. Rather than viewing my condition as something to simply overcome, she guided me to truly learn from it, to understand the deeper energetic patterns that had contributed to where I found myself, and to meet my body with curiosity and compassion rather than fear.

Her guidance as an adjunct to my Western medical treatment was invaluable. Dr. Meeker helped me develop a practice of cultivating abundant qi, break longstanding patterns that no longer served me, and build sustainable habits to support my long-term health and fertility goals. The exercises and tools she provided weren't just therapeutic — they were transformative.

One of the most unexpected and beautiful gifts of working with Dr. Meeker was her teaching around the womb center as a place of energetic creativity. Her insights unlocked something in me beyond the physical: I found myself stepping into my own artistic path with a confidence and aliveness I hadn't felt in years.

Dr. Eliza Meeker is a true master and guide. She is deeply strategic in her treatments, profoundly empathetic in her presence, and a genuinely expert in the landscape of women's health. For anyone navigating fertility, reproductive health challenges, or simply seeking a more embodied and energetically aligned life, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is, without question, one of the most gifted and impactful healers I have ever had the privilege of working with.

Case Study 3, Menopausal Symptoms 80-90% resolved through Qigong practice and one treatment in Chinese Energetic Medicine

Patient C had restless sleep, hot flashes, and tingling in whole arm and shoulders, often waking up from pain and tingling in shoulders. After three months of daily qigong practice, plus one medical qigong treatment, 85-90% of these symptoms have cleared. Sleep issues resolved about 85%, and hand/arm tingling resolved about 90%.

Patient D had restless sleep, and pain in thighs before her monthly cycles, and her hands would cramp up at night “claw-like,” such that she could not turn off her alarm in the morning. After three months of daily qigong practice, plus one medical qigong treatment, the pain in her thighs and fatigue in hands is 80%-90% resolved.

Testimonials:

Patient C: I am very grateful to have been introduced to Eliza and her knowledge of Chinese Energetic Medicine and Qigong as I struggle through perimenopause. I was suffering from broken sleep patterns and tingling sensations in my arms and legs causing them to go numb and wake me up at night if I did manage to sleep. Eliza showed me exercises such as “Pulling Down the Heavens”, “The Oracle’s Tripod”, and “Welcoming the Red Dragon” to practice during my nightly routine. These helped settle my body and mind and cured my falling asleep patterns by roughly 85%. She also showed me how to use a Bian Gua Sha Massage Tool to loosen up the nerves, tendons, and ligaments in my hands and arms throughout the day to help lessen the tingling at night that was causing the numbness. Over the last 3 months this symptom has gone away almost completely (90% or more solved by daily use). As new symptoms appear Eliza progressively shows me new exercises to address each one and I am appreciative of a natural way to move energy through my body and accept this change with age gracefully. 

Patient D: I started my journey with QiGong suffered from severe thigh pain lasting for about a week prior to my period starting. As well as significant hand fatigue and achiness every evening. After a few months of dedicated QiGong practices and exercises, my symptoms are 80-90% gone.   I am sleeping more restful due to the leg aches and hand achiness being better, and have been able to increase my activity. 

Case Study 2, Uterine Prolapse and Incontinence Resolved over Two Treatments

Patient B, a woman in her early 50’s presented with incontinence associated with peri menopause. Both treatments began with a treatment in Chinese Energetic Medicine, the “General Treatment Protocol", followed by Seitai (Tuina) deep tissue bodywork. Over the course of the two treatments, a slide uterine prolapse was identified and corrected. The patient reported resolution of the symptoms.

Testimonial:

Patient B: Eliza provided energy work and massage to help me with continence issues. It was immediately helpful and the work continued forward in helping me think differently about how I stand for my work so that I could better support my pelvis.  Six months later slight symptoms of continenance returned and she provided a helpful tune up.  She worked energetically at the same time as provided deep tissue work. I again noticed a difference coming off the table.  I felt that my lower abdomen and pelvis was defying gravity, moving up and supporting my body instead of that area holding all the weight of my torso and generally, my life.
