“If there is one class you take this year or this lifetime that will help you dive into simple strategies for caring for self…THIS is it!!!!. It’s a gem of a class for the curious-minded or the health-seeking individual who wants to improve their toolbox.” -Rachael Mueller, Ph.D., Bellingham, WA

“[Through Brodie’s Basics of Chinese Medicine class], I understand myself better and what might make me happier and healthier: how to work with my innate element and thrive. The class also helped me understand what makes the other people in my life tick and why they might act the way they do.”  — Shelley Herron, San Diego, CA

“I look forward to each module like I would the next chapter in a good novel, and each is jam-packed with an incredible amount of information, all in a highly readable and accessible form. . . The class exceeded every possible expectation.” – Phyllis Lefohn, President, MountainSpirit Qi Gong, Clancy, MT

You get that health doesn’t come from a bottle.  So you eat clean and exercise. You get acupuncture, do yoga, or practice qi gong because you know you’re not just a sack of meat, but a dynamic field of energy.

You’re curious about your subtle body, your constitutional type, the body-mind connection, and the energetics of food.

You suspect that there’s a boatload of wisdom hidden in the Chinese Medicine, but when you’ve tried reading up on it, you find vague dumbed-down references to “balance” and then run into an impenetrable wall of jargon.  And making sense of 3000-year-old tradition can seem daunting without a guide.

The Basics of Chinese Medicine: Your Inner Ecosystem is an 8-week learn-from-anywhere course that will demystify acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.

You’ll see yourself and the world in a new way, so you can make more medicinal choices.

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

• analyze your values and routines according to the principles of yin and yang so you can create balance in your life
• begin to align your lifestyle and diet with daily and seasonal rhythms so you can digest better, have more energy, and stay healthy
• identify which of the Five Elements tends to dominate for you, as well as where you are in the cycle of the Five Phases to understand yourself in a new way
• determine which systems in your body tend to be out of balance, and how you might tend to them with lifestyle, diet, and acupressure
• confidently select and use 10-20 acu-points for self-care

You’ll start developing a new framework for your intuition and unlock a whole new dimension of self-care possibilities.

I’m a total acu-nerd. I’ve been studying, teaching, practicing, and walking the walk of Chinese Medicine since 2003 in my clinic, as well as in workshops and retreats. When people start looking through this new, lens they themselves, their personalities, tendencies, and symptoms in a whole new light. I love watching the light bulbs go on for people when they

• See how seemingly unrelated symptoms often tie together neatly
• Identify when their greatest strength becomes a liability, and find greater compassion for themselves and those they love in discovering their Five Element type
• Start to lose weight and feel less bloated when they apply the theory of digestive fire, food energetics, and eating in daily and seasonal rhythms
• Know what points to press on or to anoint with an essential oil when they can’t sleep, need to calm down, or have a headache
