Interconnected: TCM for better self-care.


With Sarah Hanline
Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner & Acupuncturist.
Womxn’s health specialist.

Join Sarah Hanline to learn about the healing power of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

TCM views self-care as a fundamental pillar of our physical and mental health. The para and sympathetic nervous system functions can affect us physically and emotionally; Sarah explores the significance of this in Eastern traditions of Chinese medicine.

She will discuss the 5 Element Theory, known as Wu-xing and how our internal organs are connected with our emotions and environment. You’ll learn how each organ has a peak performance time during the day and how to optimise that for better living.

Diving into the relationship between organs, seasons, elements and emotion, Sarah introduces us to how they interrelate and provide harmony. Find out why certain symptoms present themselves physically and the importance of looking at the root cause. This will provide you with a better understanding of how the body responds to stress and emotions from a TCM perspective.

The session will finish with the signs of imbalance, the functions of the related organs and how to recognise warning signs before illness occurs. Finally, Sarah will share her easy-to-implement tools to maintain balance in each pillar.
