Hello and welcome to the new faces here. Make sure you take some time to sweep through the archives and see what resources are tucked away in the paid subscriber posts. There is a 7 day free trial for you to scope these out….. if for some reason this option isn’t coming up for you let me know!
And thank you to those that voted on my poll in the last newsletter. Clearly I need to up my Chinese Medicine content with deep dives and tips and tricks an even second. Any thoughts, preferences or TCM / Health/ Midlife content you’re hungry for I’d love to hear from you.
Those new here in the last week most likely have come via my latest podcast with the very lovely Alexx from LowToxLife. If you haven’t had a listen yet I would love for you to check it out.
You can listen to my latest podcast with Alexx from LowToxLife on Spotify here.
Or check it out here and all the other fabulous resources Alexx has on her site.
Many of you will also have met me in my retreat era offering my “Rockupuncture” treatment as Alexx shares here;
(Rockupuncture was my trademarked acupuncture and hot stone massage modality)
I met Dr @kerikrieger when I was half naked on a treatment table at a retreat. True story. It was love at first treatment. Today, she invites us to explore perimenopause as the opportunity of a lifetime to prune away all that doesn’t serve us, tune into our truth to our core, and support this period of great change with good humour, vulnerability and open dialogue as we explore it through the Traditional Chinese Medicine lens: One of the 3 Golden Opportunities (that is a waaaay more inviting description than the “medical problem” framing - while also not discounting in anyway any choices anyone makes on their way to supporting themselves.
Curious? We go everywhere - the estrogen rollercoaster, nervous system, acupressure points, food, herbs, self-judgement, communication, dating in the middle age and beyond, workplace challenges and more.
I hope you find it uplifting and soothing, as we both did while recording it. Not in this stage of life yet or supporting someone who is - it will be an excellent way to understand the people in your life on this journey or what might lie ahead for you and not to panic.
Over the next few weeks, in response to the poll I have some shorter posts with actionable tips and support for you. Stay tuned.
AND THEN I’m heading to Japan! A gorgeous colleague and friend of mine has organised a Moxa Study Tour. We will be heading back to Japan to study with our Sensei, I say back, but I was last there over 20 years ago! I will be travelling with a small group some of whom I have never met, and a few dear friends I first met we were in our early 20’s studying Chinese Medicine.
I absolutely promise to spam you with the Cherry Blossoms, areas of Japan that have been making Moxa since ancient times and of course the madness of Tokyo…… I really hope my travel savvy self kicks back in!
I leave on the 23rd of March so you have 3 weeks to book in for your acupuncture treatments on the Gold Coast or your online health consults before I’m away and not really responding to most things for a good 10 days. This will also include Easter so I hope you will also be enjoying some down time.
Online health consultations are here.
(there was a package special that I will continue offering for subscribers ;)
If you’re a health practitioner and would like to grab some CPD hours and up your knowledge on treating women in midlife head to my health practitioner webinar here
I am always so grateful to be able to send you these emails. Feel free to reply and share a little about what you and why you’re here if you feel called.
till next time
Keri
