MEET DR. ALEX FENG

Born in Guangzhou (Canton), China, Grandmaster Alex Feng was immersed in the three pillars of Daoism from childhood: physical strength and well being, healing, and spiritual development.

The path of Dao revealed itself to Grandmaster Feng at an early age. As described in his words: “Zhi Dao – I was born into this Path. I was destined for a spiritual life and an obligation to share that. Since my youth I have been gifted with healing powers for both myself and for others. Realization of this spiritual and healing path is my karma, my purpose.”
