InnerChi    Healing  Massage and Exercise  Services

      My name is Alexander Roy Witkin, but "You Can Call Me Al" - like that catchy 80's classic! I graduated from Healing Hands School of Holistic Health in Laguna Hills, California on January 1, 2018 with 1,000 hours as a Holistic Health Practitioner and have been doing body work ever since!  Holistic health is something I have great passion for. 

 

When one sees the body as a Temple for the Soul, anchoring our Spiritual aspect into the physical, health and well-being become essentially linked to stability and growth.  It's an honor and a privilege to help people with the skills that I’ve learned and I'm always excited about opportunities to learn more!

 

I’ve worked for a number of different Spa's and Chiropractors offering table and chair massage - including a variety of modalities such as Deep Tissue/Trigger Point, Sports Massage, Swedish, Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi, Thai, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic and Reiki. 

 

I’m passionate about movement, health and the pure wonder that is the human body.  I practice Yoga and Qi Gong every day (for the last 7 years) to keep my Mind, Body and Spirit energized and healthy.  In addition to massage, I practice energetic healing modalities like Reiki and can channel the Qi (energy) that I gather and cultivate from Universal Source as a result of my daily practice.  By practicing Yoga, Qi Gong and Martial Arts, I have developed a high level of physical conditioning, body awareness and Spirit. 

 

After reading a fascinating book (brought to me by my father), "Mastering Miracles", by Medical Qi Gong Master, Hong Liu, I decided to seek out this master in hopes to learn and became an Apprentice.  My search quickly became successful and so I embarked on a journey to learn more about Qi Gong and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  (This is also when I really began to develop a love for traditional Chinese tea and Gong Fu tea ceremony :) ). 

 

Master Hong only uses TCM due to his direct experience of seeing how effective it can be.  He and his teachers have helped many people recover from cancer and other illnesses despite the fact that many of those people were told to be terminally ill by their doctors.  I began my foundation practice with Shifu Hong in Hawaii from 12/12/18 - 4/10/19.  I've personally experienced how such energetic work can perform healing miracles for people - in order for such miracles to occur, both the patient and practitioner must be ready for the healing to take place and therefore all doubt needs to be relinquished.  When this happens - miracles are able to happen and profound healing can take place!

​

   Most recently (beginning on 10/31/23), I flew across the world to China where I studied with the Yunnan Shaolin Temple for 4 months and traveled through many more Asian countries quite extensively for 2 months.  Amongst all of the Shaolin training, I would say that I'm most grateful to have learned the ancient and rather esoteric practice of Meihua Quan (Plum Blossom Fist) from my beloved masters, Shifu Shi Yanjun and Wu Shifu.  Meihua Quan is the mother of all Kung Fu styles.  Like Qi Gong and Tai Chi, Meihua helps to open and harmonize the body (bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and organs) into a state of optimal circulation and health.  

​

I have plans to share more of what I've learned with clients who are interested and to soon establish some healing Mind / Body / Spirit retreats which can help to guide others who are looking to find greater peace and balance in their lives! 

​

If you have any questions, or want to get in touch, please don't hesitate to contact me!

​

Much love to you all!
