Local Herbs - Classes & Consultations
A variety of herbal classes and practice opportunities are offered throughout the year. Classes are primarily focused on local herbs. Topics covered include how to identify common plants and make your own herbal medicines as well as how to do an intake and start thinking like a clincal herbalist. Private apprenticeships are available.
Many of the botanical products I use with my clients are personally handcrafted, made fresh from local plants. Herbs are respectfully gathered from organic land or ethically wild-crafted. Great care goes into herbal preparations to ensure the highest standards in ethical collection and potency. Herbal tinctures in a liquid form are given after a thorough intake and assessment process. The typical dosage is 5-15 drops under the tongue, twice per day. In some cases, capsules, teas, flower essences or topical herbs are also given.
Holistic Nutrition & Health Coaching
The program offered is based on studies through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition®. No one way of eating is right for everyone and it takes more than just the food on our plate to truly nourish us. This program explores what really feeds your entire body on a holistic level while providing an abundance of information based on leading edge, modern nutritional science and ancient wisdom.
Eastern Movement Instruction
Eastern movement instruction often combines Oriental medicine philosophy with hatha yoga. This process blends yoga with techniques from tai chi, qigong, martial arts, and acupressure. It is a way to gain benefits from each of these powerful modalities while deeply balancing the body's systems. If one specific system is of particular interest, that may be designed to be the subject of your class focus.
Asian Bodywork Therapy Education & Tutoring
My training includes Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage), Acupressure, Reflexology, Cupping, Thai Massage, all Reiki levels and Qigong. I have additional specialized Tuina training in health maintenance, sports medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics. I offer private and group instruction in Asian bodywork for experienced bodywork practitioners as well as beginners.
Energy Medicine Education
A year long program of study in energy medicine is available as a private apprenticeship or as a group class. The program includes an overview of energy healing from various cultures, the chakra system and its functions, building awareness of and healing with nature, flower essences and plant energy, the 5 phases and meridian system based on Chinese medicine and keeping your own energy healthy and vibrant through putting these principles into practice. By the end of the program, you will also have had the opportunity to complete all 3 Reiki levels. Experiential learning in Eastern movement modalities is also incorporated.
