"Dr. De Anzo is one of the rare individuals who cares more about the well-being of his students and others than he does about himself. He is a gifted teacher, able to work with students of all ages and walks of life and a true master of these arts. The depth of his knowledge is incredible as is his generosity in sharing the teachings and promoting the happiness and well-being of others. Dr. De Anzo has a unique ability to assimilate the training and then share it with others in a way that is accessible, understandable, and practical. Dr. De Anzo honors the legacy passed on to him from his teachers by embodying the teachings and living his life with truth, compassion, integrity, and grace."

"Sifu John teaches as he lives; with joy, humor, focused attention and intent, and unsurpassed integrity. He is one of the most inspiring people that I know, teaching and living from the heart, in the present moment. As a healer and a teacher, the positive energy and love that he emanates is tangible, and touches all those who are fortunate enough to be in his company. These traits, coupled with natural ability, wisdom, and skills honed over years of training, make his classes second to none.
Sifu’s skills and natural abilities create a nice synergistic flow in the classroom. I highly recommend Sifu’s Classes to anyone looking to improve and expand their skills as healers, martial artists, or spiritual seekers. Training with Sifu is an opportunity not to be missed."

Myrt Hawkins
D.O., M.M.Q., CMH
"A lot of masters have degrees, titles, and accomplishments behind their name, but few become what they have learned. John has paid his dues, gone through his fears, and stayed true to himself, and has earned the title of Master Teacher so that he can share his journey."
Graduate of: Introduction to Daoist Internal Alchemy
Shawn Klemmer
Daoist Disciple
"Dr. John De Anzo is a rare teacher. His teaching comes from depth of exploration and hard-earned knowledge. He’s also a priest: his kindness and patience offering quick glimpses of what the Divine looks like when it shows up in human form. He’s a practitioner: doing the hard work of facing himself in the mirror of steady practice. And he’s a transformer: always moving from caterpillar to butterfly to become an ever greater expression of his truest self. He teaches the same."
Graduate of: Practitioner in Medical Qigong Therapy
William Risdall
M.Q.P.
"Having this calling to heal others and finding John for a teacher is an ongoing blessing for me. He is an absolute steam engine of passion for helping others.
He is insightful to the point of embarrassment, but all in a good way. (He) brings out the truth I can not see from my perspective. His knowledge is so vast, encompassing an array of martial arts and a comprehension of Daoist healing arts, Shaolin Buddhist training, Hawaiian Shamanism, and Tibetan Buddhist Therapy. He combines all of that through his Christian up-bringing and delivers an all new American Healing modality.
He exudes a compassion for both patients and students that embraces them in this held comfort."

"Dr. De Anzo is without a doubt one of the pre-eminent experts within the holistic wellness movement in the United States today. His life experiences and education in traditional methods coupled with his genuine care for his students and patients is both obvious and second to none. Undoubtedly, any opportunity to be treated by or study with Dr. De Anzo can not be missed. On a personal level, I consider Dr. De Anzo's methods critical to my personal growth and well being. I would not be the person or practitioner I am today without his guidance."

Michael Lisowski
M.Q.P., Dominican Spiritual Director
"The Medical Qigong Practitioner (MQP) program has been and continues to be an extremely powerful source of positive physical, emotional, and spiritual change and growth in my life. The exercises and meditations I have learned have become an integral part of who I am and as such have had a profound impact on all aspects of my existence. Dr. De Anzo, whom I found to be extremely knowledgeable and well versed in his field, fosters an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect between himself and all participants. Furthermore, Dr. De Anzo is very approachable and students are encouraged to ask questions. On a personal note: Dr. De Anzo has challenged and guided me along a path of introspective self-discovery and awareness while providing invaluable instruction in various technique for improving the overall health and wellbeing of others and myself. Finally, participation in the clinic allows me the honor and privilege of being a conduit through which God’s divine mercy and healing grace are extended to the world."
