Yang Sheng, or “nourishing life,” is the Chinese tradition of cultivating health through the way we live, move, eat, rest, work, and relate to the world around us. It is a practical approach to learning how to care for yourself and cultivate greater balance, resilience, and vitality.
Through private Yang Sheng consultation, we’ll look at what you’re already doing to take care of yourself and explore ways to make your practice more effective and responsive to your needs. You hold the practice; my role is to help you cultivate it. I bring a lifetime of experience with a wide range of tools, including Qigong, movement, nutrition, herbal traditions, seasonal living, self-cultivation, and other practices drawn from Chinese medicine.
The goal isn’t to give you a prescription for how to live. It’s to help you develop your own repertoire of practical skills for understanding and caring for yourself.
Yang Sheng Consultation — 60 minutes
A one-on-one educational session designed to help you apply Yang Sheng principles in your own life. We focus on practical tools, such as movement, nutritional, herbal medicine, and more, you can integrate into your daily routine. Together, we explore which approaches are most useful for you right now and how to make them part of your ongoing self-care practice.
Yang Sheng Constitutional Assessment — 90 minutes
This consultation is for those who want to understand Yang Sheng in relation to their own constitution and patterns of health.
Using traditional Chinese medicine assessment methods, we explore your individual tendencies and how they may relate to sleep, energy, digestion, emotions, seasonal changes, and other aspects of daily life. We then develop practical Yang Sheng approaches suited to your particular needs and goals.
