Art of Self-Love: Gua Sha Facial

The Art of Self-Love: Ancient Wisdom for Beauty, Hormones & Longevity

A new 3-part educational series at Lawrence Acupuncture led by Shahida Spann-Ryan, LAc and Master of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Shahida is an expert in integrative medicine and specializes in fertility, perimenopause and women’s health.

Modern medicine now recognizes that beauty, hormones, and longevity are deeply connected to three core systems:
the nervous system, circulation, and hormonal regulation.

For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine developed self-care therapies to regulate these systems before disease and aging take hold.

This spring, we are offering a special three-part class series designed to teach women simple, clinically grounded self-care tools for:

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Hormonal balance & peri-menopause support

  • Pelvic vitality & sexual health

  • Circulation & lymphatic drainage

  • Healthy aging & longevity

Each class blends ancient techniques with modern anatomy and physiology — practical tools you can use at home to complement acupuncture and medical care.
