Instant access to recording & resources
Our Cycles Reveal Our Deepest States of Health
In this 90 minute workshop, we will explore Chinese medicine understandings about menstrual cycles and women’s reproductive health, and learn distinctions and practices for cultivating smoother rhythms and transitions.
We will use the lens of Chinese medicine and Five Element theory to:
learn about elemental and seasonal resonances for each part of the menstrual cycle and life stage (menses, childbearing, peri-menopause, menopause, etc.),
explore the concept of jing, or ancestral inheritance and essence, as facilitator of the 7 year cycles of development and growth, and
participate in guided exercises to apply the theory to our own bodies and lives.

About the Instructor
I’m Angie, an acupuncturist, herbalist, and doctor of Chinese medicine. I created this workshop as an introductory exploration of the Chinese medicine perspective on menstrual and reproductive health.
Chinese medicine offers a unique lens on health and the human experience, with deep understandings of how multiple systems exist in functional relationship and how our emotional lives and ancestral inheritance affect our physical health.
As a clinician, I have used these principles to help my patients nurture harmonious relationships with their menstrual and hormonal rhythms, and find their way to healthier, more functional bodies and a clearer sense of purpose and vitality.
Testimonials
“What a lovely class you taught. I wrapped up the recording this morning and have a lot percolating in regards to my own reproductive world, the interface of grieving and potentiality… and how your work will inevitably touch some of these pain points.
You did a beautiful job at being sensitive in an area that can be tender. I haven’t seen or experienced a more clearly transmitted online class, ever.” -JR
“This all felt really helpful, practical, and realistic. In each section, Angie describes everything systematically, and then has interactive exercises which clarify and reinforce the themes.” -CJ
“I recently had the opportunity to join one of Angie’s courses and was blown away—the organization and structure of her class were masterfully designed to enhance students’ learning. As a professor and academician of 20 years in higher education, I know how rare it is to find both an expert practitioner and an expert teacher in one person; people usually excel in one area or the other. Angie is both!” -GP
