Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIan Gelman is a recovery-focused wellness professional with 25 years of sales and marketing experience in the health and fitness industry and nine years in direct peer support roles. As founder of I M Qigong and owner of Reiki Qigong Fusion, he blends Traditional Chinese Medicine training and certified personal training expertise to deliver holistic, stability-focused programs that emphasize body, breath, and balance. He has led retail and specialty fitness operations—rising to store manager and assistant GM roles—consistently driving revenue growth, customer loyalty, and community engagement. More recently he has translated that client-facing experience into peer recovery work, supporting people in crisis with a trauma-informed, team-based approach. Based in Williamsburg, VA, Ian pairs formal study in exercise science and TCM with practical coaching skills and an eclectic sense of humor (he’s an unapologetic Emacs user). His uncommon mix of business development savvy and deep energy-healing practice makes him a bridge between commercial wellness services and person-centered recovery care.
