Denise Minter
CERTIFIED QIGONG TEACHER. BREAST CANCER “THRIVER”
At some age, we realize we weren’t taught what we need to stay well. Breast cancer was my wake-up. “CHEE-GONG” showed me how to become resilient with grace and ease.
Moving Meditation relaxes the mind, which allows the healing to begin.
Welcome to your Qigong practice with Denise
My Story
-
Denise Minter has been bringing joy and a sense of possibility to people through her teachings for many years. As a Level 2 certified teacher in Wisdom Healing Qigong, she founded Waking Up Energy to continue her teachings and wisdom sharings online and in-studio.
-
Denise was diagnosed with an aggressive triple-negative* breast cancer in 2000. She realized that she would need to go beyond the medical diagnosis and treatments to affect her healing and a better prognosis. She stepped forward to learn mindful wisdom teachings to wake up her mind, body, and heart to connect, endure and function better through the intensive medical treatments. It allowed her to bring mindful wisdom and resilience to support her medical care. It changed her perspective to learn that healing is an ongoing process, and so she continued to shape a healthier life ahead. She still sees her doctors, eats well, laughs with friends, and yet, always, every day she does her Qigong.
Note: *In other words, a triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis means that the offending tumor is estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative, and HER2-negative, thus giving rise to the name “triple-negative breast cancer.”

Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Denise now calls San Francisco home with her family. She practices Qigong daily and uses this extra energy to give back to her family, friends, and community. In her spare time, she cares for an abundant garden and shares its bounty with others. She is most grateful that her health reports continue to bring back good results.
