Hi! I'm Diego.

We all have the ability to create the life we truly desire.

Diego Sanmiquel is a Doctor of Medical Qigong specializing in chronic disease and a Daoist Priest dedicated to bridging the ancient and the modern. Trained as a Sifu in Yang Style Tai Chi under the renowned Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson, Diego has spent decades exploring the intersection of energetic medicine, internal cultivation, and spiritual development.

In recent years, he has deepened his studies under Dr. Peter Wayne, PhD, Director of the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at Harvard Medical School, focusing on the evidence-based applications of Tai Chi in modern health science.

Diego’s passion lies in uniting ancient Daoist teachings with contemporary, research-backed practices, offering students and clients a grounded yet transformative approach to well-being. Through his teaching, he helps individuals rediscover balance, clarity, and vitality—both in body and mind.

“When your body is not aligned,
The inner power will not come.
When you are not tranquil within,
Your mind will not be well ordered.
Align your body, assist the inner power,
Then it will gradually come on its own.”

NEI YE, INNER TRAINING, 4th CENTURY BCE.

“As a general rule, humans have 360 joints, nine apertures, five repositories, and six storehouses. It is desirable that the skin be taut, the blood vessels open to free circulation, the sinews and bones hard, the mind and will harmonious, and the qi active. If all this is achieved, illness will find no place to lodge, and evil no means to grow. Illness remains and its malevolence grows because the qi are blocked. When water is blocked, it becomes stagnant; when a tree is blocked, it becomes infested with wood-boring insects; when a plant is blocked, it withers.”
