Women’s Wellness according to the Classics

An Online Workshop

Long before hormones were measured in laboratories, the ancient physicians of East asian medicine carefully observed the natural rhythms of a woman’s life. They understood that health was not simply the absence of disease, but the harmonious movement of Qi, Blood, Essence (Jing), and Spirit (Shen) through every stage of life.

In this workshop, we return to these timeless teachings, exploring women’s health through the lens of the classical texts. Together we’ll examine the seven-year cycles described in the Huangdi Neijing, introduce the role of the relevant extraordinary channels, and how our bodies can best be supported during the fluctuations and changes as we age.

You’ll learn how the classics viewed the relationship between the Kidneys, Liver, Spleen, Heart, and Uterus, while gaining practical insights that can support modern women navigating stress, hormonal changes, fatigue, emotional wellbeing, and healthy ageing.

Whether you’re a practitioner, yoga teacher, student of Chinese medicine, or simply fascinated by a more holistic understanding of women’s health, this workshop offers a thoughtful blend of ancient wisdom and practical application.

We’ll explore:

• The Seven-Year Cycles and what they reveal about each stage of a woman’s life
• Jing, Blood, Qi and Tian Gui through the classical perspective
• Menstruation as a vital sign of health
• Perimenopause and menopause beyond symptom management
• Lifestyle, nourishment and seasonal living according to the classics
• Simple practices to cultivate vitality, resilience and longevity

Join us as we rediscover a profound medical tradition that continues to offer wisdom for women today – honouring the body’s natural rhythms rather than working against them.

Suitable for: Practitioners, acupuncture students, yoga teachers, holistic health professionals, and anyone with an interest in women’s wellbeing.

Format: Live Online Workshop (recording available if you cannot attend live). Zoom code to be shared on payment.
