Qigong Sensory Training

Qigong Sensory Therapy (QST) is an evidence-based massage program which focuses on parent training to address sensory and emotional dysregulation in children, primarily for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). QST includes a daily massage (provided to the child by parent or caregiver), which is supported and guided by a certified clinician. The goal is to achieve long term social, behavioral, and sensory improvements for children with ASD or other sensory dysregulation.

Maggie has been certified as a QST provider since the fall of 2025. She was educated through the Qigong Sensory Training Institute (QSTI), which has trained hundreds of clinicians in QST internationally since 2003.

Partnership with SENSE

As of spring 2026, Beginnings is proud to partner with SENSE Family Autism Care. SENSE is a completely online/telehealth platform aimed to provide parent education and training on the QST method over a 6 month period. It guides families through QST and provides regular feedback and input from a certified QST provider. The SENSE program does not require any in-person clinic visits, making it an ideal option for families who are on long waitlists for therapy services and are looking for support immediately.

If you have questions or would like more information on how to get started, reach out through SENSE's website or through Beginnings' contact page. We would love to help!
