“Meet my newest literary find, Frances Gaik.  Sometimes a writer’s persona leaps out from her pages and you find yourself paying as much attention to her as to her message.  Whatever gift this author has, I salute her for sharing it with us.”
The straight-from-the shoulder, first person, conversational way she presents her case for qigong as therapy makes it easy to like and respect Fran Gaik the person. Having first made a new friend of me, she next made it easy for me to take my baby steps into Qigong as medicine against depression.”

“A pleasant, chatty, largely convincing essay on Eastern medicine pitched to the general, moderately well educated reader. The author explicitly adopts a conversational ‘voice’ presenting facts and theory as if the reader were sitting before her in her office. The technique works.”

“Managing Depression with Qigong is neither the first nor the last word about supplementary treatments of depression and related ailments through alternative, holistic Eastern approaches, especially through Qigong.  But it is a darn good, readable, informative, practical up-to-date word.”
