Thank you, Dr. Julian Scott for your time and support
💛 Your support creates real change.
When a child with autism receives QST Tuina, parents often see:
✔ calmer behaviour
✔ improved sleep
✔ better digestion
✔ stronger connection with their child
✔ reduced daily stress for the family
Imagine the impact this can have for families who currently have no access to any therapy.
Your donation brings this possibility to Ghana.

The first therapy shown to improve all core aspects of autism.
The parents’ workshop will take place at a centrally located training venue in Ghana, easily accessible on foot for parents.
Qigong Sensory Therapy (QST) Tuina is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to improve sensory processing, communication, sleep, digestion, behaviour, and overall family well-being.
In Ghana, this therapy can make the difference between families coping in isolation and families finding hope and practical tools.
Help us train local caregivers and parents, so children can receive ongoing support long after the project team has returned home.
We need your support to make this happen.
In Ghana, many children with autism are growing up without help. You can change that.
Children in Ghana living with ASD and SPD face daily challenges — from sensory overwhelm to sleep struggles, emotional dysregulation, digestive issues, and difficulties with communication.
Parents are doing everything they can, but many families simply cannot afford therapy, and trained practitioners are almost nonexistent.
Your donation will fund:
• Training 6 local therapists
• Hands-on support for 15 parents
• QST Tuina sessions for children
• Follow-up support to ensure sustained impact
Every euro counts.
Stichting Qigong Therapy is bringing life changing training to Ghana in April 2026.
Our therapists will train caregivers in Qigong therapeutic techniques, giving families practical, cost-effective tools to support children with Autism and sensory impairments — especially in communities with limited resources.
This training empowers parents to provide therapy at home, making it a true game changer:
1. Easy to learn massage techniques
2. Cost effective, with parents able to provide treatment independently
3. No travel needed, as therapy can be done at home
4. Deepens the parent child bond and reduces stress for both
To make this possible, we need your support.
Please donate and help us bring this vital training to Ghana. https://stichting-qigongtherapy.com/donate.html

I first met Ms Mabel Anang in 2020, when I had the privilege of treating her two autistic children in my clinic. At that time, Mabel was living in the Netherlands alone with her children, balancing full-time work while on a four-year contract abroad. Inspired by the remarkable results she saw through QST Tuina, Mabel made the courageous decision to begin studying Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Dutch Acupuncture Academy. Her goal was to bring this knowledge back to Ghana to support families with limited financial resources and few therapeutic options.
I made a promise to her that I would one day visit Ghana to provide professional training for parents and help develop QST Tuina therapists to meet these needs. We now have the profound honour of being joined by Rebecca Avern, a world-leading expert in paediatric acupuncture and Tuina therapy, to help fulfil this mission.
Stichting Qigong Therapy is a non-profit organisation dedicated to providing professional training to support children with autism and sensory processing disorder. We work specifically in regions with limited resources, offering practical tools for parents and sustainable therapeutic solutions for communities that lack ongoing support.
Qigong Sensory Therapy (QST) is a structured series of Tuina manipulations taught to parents as a hands-on therapy they can use at home. This method has shown outstanding results in treating sensory processing disorders, which are often at the core of autism. QST is especially vital in regions where families are unable to access regular therapeutic support.
QST is a gentle, hands-on method used to support children with autism and sensory processing difficulties. It is rooted in the principles of Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
What it is:
A daily 20-minute massage routine using stroking, pressing, patting and rubbing techniques to calm and regulate a child’s sensory and nervous system.
Originally developed for children with autism, yet also highly beneficial for children with sensory sensitivities, sleep difficulties, emotional dysregulation, or developmental challenges.
How it works:
QST helps reduce sensory overload, improve body awareness, and calm the nervous system. Parents carry out the massage at home, while a trained practitioner teaches, supervises, and tailors the routine.
Being a child therapist requires building a relationship not only with the child but also with their family. This is one of the most beautiful aspects of our work. When a family opens their life to you, it truly is a gift, and I am incredibly grateful for it.
Thank you for your kind review.
🌟 Qigong Sensory Treatment (QST) Massage for Autism 🌟
QST massage is a proven, touch-based therapy for children with autism, performed by parents for just 15 minutes daily.
This gentle and affordable treatment helps normalise sensory issues and reduce or eliminate related autism symptoms, such as:
• Social communication challenges: Difficulty with speech, eye contact, relationships, and understanding social cues.
• Repetitive behaviours: Hand-flapping, and sensory sensitivities.
QST helps make touch more pleasant, easing sensory challenges. Results can be seen in as little as 30 days, dramatically improving the nervous system and reducing parenting stress!
Parent training is key to QST, allowing caregivers to perform the massage daily. This saves costs and deepens the bond between you and your child. ❤️
💡 Why parent training?
1. Cost-effective.
2️. Minimal trips to the therapist
3️. Builds a deep connection between carer and child.
Together, we can make sensory challenges more manageable with ongoing support and care.

Autism and Sensory Disorder Treatment for Children.
Groundbreaking method for treating symptoms of autism in children
SensoryCenter uses Qigong Sensory Treatment (QST) which is a proven, touch-based autism treatment for children of all levels of autism, sensory processing disorder, ADHD, ADD, but also those sensitive to their surroundings, that parents perform for 15 minutes each day to normalize sensory issues, regulate mood, improve sleep, and boost immune and digestive systems.
QST massage is derived from Tuina manipulation. Tuina is a form of Chinese medicine dating back more than 2,000 years. It is a therapeutic massage and bodywork which is used to address specific patterns of disharmony and it is commonly referred to as Chinese pediatric massage therapy.
The QST massage consists of 12 movements which can be adapted depending on the child’s needs. The intention of this therapy is for the therapist to teach the parent the 12 movements and how to adapt them over a period of time. The parent should be able to confidently treat the child for 15 minutes on the daily basis without a need for a therapist and in the comfort of their own home.
This form of massage promotes the balancing of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Balancing the nervous system is important not only for the child but equally so for the parents, as family dynamics affect all those who live in close proximity.
The massage techniques we use affects the nervous system in a variety of ways. We use mainly rubbing technique, which stimulated gastric juices to aid with digestion, as well as patting technique, which stimulates the nervous system to encourage better circulation of blood and energy and to help detoxification of toxins. It also decreases pain which lays in certain areas of the body, i.e. fingers, toes, skin, head, ears, and neck. Deep pressure can also be used to help sedate the nervous system and help with relaxation.
QST massage stimulates the body to begin the healing process in a gentle way, addressing core symptoms of many diseases and when done by a parent it has the additional effect of parent and child bonding, eliminating the stress response even further.
