The Art of Self-Love: Ancient Wisdom for Beauty, Hormones & Longevity
The Art of Self-Love is a thoughtfully curated 3-part educational series for women
This series is designed for women who want to feel more at home in their bodies, better supported through hormonal transitions, and empowered with practical tools that nurture beauty, vitality, and long-term health.
An invitation to slow down and care for yourself
Why Self-Love Is a Medical Practice
Modern medicine is now catching up to what ancient healing systems have known for thousands of years: beauty, hormonal balance, and longevity are deeply interconnected.
Research increasingly shows that these outcomes are influenced by three core systems:
The nervous system
Circulation and lymphatic flow
Hormonal regulation
When these systems are supported, the body is better able to repair, regulate, and thrive.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was developed around this very principle — focusing on preventative care and rhythmic self-care practices that keep the body balanced before disease, burnout, or accelerated aging take hold.
What This Series Offers
The Art of Self-Love is a clinically grounded yet deeply nurturing experience. Each class blends:
Ancient self-care techniques rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Modern anatomy and physiology
Practical tools you can easily integrate into daily life
This series is ideal for women navigating:
Stress and nervous system dysregulation
Hormonal shifts, peri-menopause and menopause
Pelvic floor health and sexual vitality
Circulation and lymphatic stagnation
Healthy aging and longevity
These practices are designed to complement acupuncture and conventional medical care, not replace them.
“The ten thousand things rise and fall while the self watches their return. They grow and flourish and then return to the source. Returning to the source is stillness, which is the way of nature.”
