About House of Qi

House of Qi was created to bring thoughtful, meaningful self-care into everyday life.

Inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine, nature, and whole-person wellness, our shop offers a curated selection of books, Chinese herbal formulas, supplements, functional mushrooms, and self-care tools chosen to support balance, vitality, and mindful living.

Rooted in Experience

House of Qi is connected to the team behind Mayflower Acupuncture in Simsbury, Connecticut. Our selections are informed by Steve Paine, OMD, L.Ac., a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese medicine practitioner with clinical experience since 1988. His professional journey has included training and practice in California, Beijing, Hawaii, Hong Kong, and Connecticut.
