About My Journey

Maria Furlano, DMQ (China), MTOM, L.Ac.

If you've ever felt like you experience the world a little differently – more deeply, more intensely – we already have something in common.

Dr. Maria Furlano, Spiritual Intuitive and Consciousness Mentor specializing in Eastern Energetic Medicine.

Welcome and thank you for being here...

As a child, I didn't just observe life; I absorbed it. Being highly sensitive meant feeling everything, from others' emotions to energies that moved through spaces most people never noticed.

At twelve, I found my anchor in martial arts, training passionately for a decade. But in my twenties, a back injury changed everything. No scan could explain it – just constant nerve pain that emotions would amplify, lasting two and a half years with no answers from Western medicine.

"You'll need to learn to manage your emotions," an osteopath finally told me. "There's an emotional component to this pain."

Those words changed everything – not because they offered a cure, but because they handed me the keys to learn.

That experience sent me deep into the study of how energy and emotion shape our health. I first trained as a therapeutic bodyworker, studying anatomy and somatic awareness so I could better understand what I’d always sensed in others. From there, I became a Physician of Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture (MTOM, L.Ac.), earned my Doctorate in Medical Qigong (DMQ, China), and trained in Hypnosis to understand the subconscious patterns behind healing.

Because I’ve always been intuitive — able to sense where people hold energy physically or emotionally — my medical and energetic training gave me the language and tools to translate what I felt into practical healing.

Like many sensitives, I reached a point of overwhelm. Working closely with people every day left me depleted until I returned to the roots of Medical Qigong — learning how to clear, nourish, and protect my energy on every level: physical, emotional, and spiritual.

Those ancient practices, grounded in over 5,000 years of energetic medicine, didn’t just restore my health — they expanded my intuition, strengthened my body, and deepened my ability to help others heal.

For over 25 years, I've been guiding people through their own transformations. I work mostly with:

Conscious Leaders who've discovered that managing their inner landscape is the secret to inspiring their teams.
Holistic Practitioners who pour so much into holding space for others that they forget to tend their own energy.
Highly Sensitive Souls (HSPs) those who sense there's something deeper to unlock, who know that true healing happens when we stop fighting our sensitivity and start working with it.

I’m the founder of The Art Of Tuning In® Studio and host of The Art Of Tuning In Podcast.
