Sandy Salvo

Sandy Salvo has devoted her life to encouraging authentic connections, valuing relationships in both personal and professional settings.  She believes that peace in our world begins with each person connecting with their inner voice for guidance, and living a life of kindness and compassion.

​

Having stress-related health issues as early as the fifth grade, Sandy has committed her adult life to promoting healthy lifestyle choices, including exercise, meditation and mindfulness practices. She fosters centered connections with others as a way to deepen understanding of our inter-connectedness and validate our own unique gifts.

​

Sandy has held numerous positions over the course of her career, from fitness director to quality analyst, from volunteer director to process improvement coach, and from corporate trainer to program manager for patient and family-centered care in an academic health care setting. Looking back, she sees the common thread of wanting to help others be their very best while encouraging meaningful relationships to flourish.

​

Currently, as a workshop and retreat planner, teacher, trainer and facilitator, she is focusing her energy on fostering confident, self-aware leaders, sharing Qigong and other mindfulness practices outdoors whenever possible, and encouraging meaningful dialogue for a more compassionate world.

​

As a Sr. Trainer and Faculty for the Institute of Integral Qigong and Tai Chi, Sandy leads training events to certify new Qigong Teachers and assist them in discovering their gifts and the confidence to share them freely.

​

As an outdoor enthusiast, she enjoys opportunities for spending time in nature, especially on the water or on her bike.  She adores her grandchildren and cherishes the gifts they bring into her life, including their ability to be fully present  and immersed in whatever catches their fancy.
