ZenPod Healing Arts
First learn to heal yourself. Then learn to help others.
A training pathway bringing movement, breath, Qi Gong, meditation, energy work and Eastern philosophy into one integrated practice — instead of a long list of separate certifications.
One Pathway, Not a List of Certifications
A Modern Pathway, Rooted in Old Traditions
Rather than a shelf of separate certificates — a breathwork certification here, a Qi Gong course there, a Reiki training somewhere else — ZenPod Healing Arts organizes everything we teach into one pathway, built around the person, not the technique.
We’re not claiming that fascia work, Qi Gong and Reiki are scientifically equivalent. They’re distinct practices and traditions. What they share is a place inside the ZenPod approach to healing arts — and a simple idea underneath all of it: before you learn to help others, learn to work with yourself.
We use the word “healing” the way we always have at ZenPod — as working toward greater awareness, regulation, movement, connection and wellbeing. This is not a medical or psychological qualification, it does not replace medical or psychological care, and it does not train anyone to diagnose or treat disease.
What We Bring Into Your Session
Level 1
Heal Yourself
Learn to understand, regulate and work with your own body, breath, mind and energy. This is the foundation everyone completes first — before you learn to help others, learn to work with yourself.
Body
Movement, fascia, mobility, balance, tension and body awareness — learning to read and work with your own body before asking anyone else to trust you with theirs.
Start here: Personal Training →Breath & Energy
Breathing practices, Qi Gong, nervous-system regulation, and awareness of internal sensation — with an introduction to Reiki and energy work concepts.
Start here: Breathwork in Pattaya →Mind & Way of Life
Meditation, presence, and the Zen and Daoist principles already underneath every ZenPod session — impermanence, compassion, and a daily relationship with practice.
Start here: Our Philosophy →Level 2
Heal Others
The emphasis shifts from practice to facilitation: learn to safely guide, support and hold space for another person.
Presence & Connection
Holding space, listening, boundaries, consent, and creating safety for someone else — the foundation every ZenPod session is already built on.
Healing Tools
Facilitating breathwork, Qi Gong, movement and fascia work, Reiki and energy-work traditions, and guided meditation for another person.
Real certification: Breathwork Training →Real certification: Reiki Level 1 & 2 →The Healing Session
Intake, choosing and sequencing practices, working one-to-one, integration, and knowing when not to intervene or when to refer someone to a licensed healthcare professional.
Level 3 · In Development
Become a Practitioner
Learn to combine the practices into your own sessions and work professionally with clients and groups — designing complete sessions, working with different clients, group facilitation, retreats, ethics, scope of practice, and supervised practice.
This level is still being built. If you’re interested, let us know — it helps shape how we put it together.

ZenPod Healing Arts FAQ
What is ZenPod Healing Arts?
A training pathway that brings movement, breath, Qi Gong, Reiki, shamanic healing and meditation into one structure, instead of treating them as separate, unrelated certifications. It's organized in three levels: Heal Yourself, Heal Others, and Become a Practitioner.
Is Reiki, Qi Gong and fascia work scientifically the same thing?
No, and we don't claim that. They're distinct practices and traditions. ZenPod Healing Arts brings them together as one training approach, not as one technique.
Do I have to complete Level 1 before Level 2?
Level 1 (working with your own body, breath and mind) is the foundation everyone starts with, before learning to guide someone else in Level 2.
Can I just take one course, like Breathwork or Reiki, without doing the whole pathway?
Yes. Our Breathwork and Reiki certifications are real, standalone courses you can book today, and each one also counts as part of the Healing Arts pathway if you decide to continue.
Is this a medical qualification, or does it train people to treat disease?
No. ZenPod Healing Arts is a wellbeing and facilitation training, not a medical or psychological qualification. It builds awareness, regulation, movement and connection — it does not replace medical or psychological care, and graduates are not positioned as medical practitioners.
Is Level 3 (Practitioner) available now?
Level 3 is in development. Level 1 and the real courses that build toward Level 2 — our Breathwork and Reiki certifications — are available now.
Where do I start?
Most people start with whichever Level 1 area speaks to them most — a Personal Training session for the body, a Breathwork session for breath and energy, or reading Our Philosophy for the mind and way-of-life side.
Who teaches ZenPod Healing Arts?
Nicklas and Andy, ZenPod's two founding facilitators, teach the pathway between them — Nicklas leading the movement and breath-led body work, Andy leading Qi Gong, Reiki, shamanic healing and meditation.
