Pelvic Care Grand Rounds: Collaborative Case Discussion for Pelvic Health Practitioners
Join Us For Grand Rounds on Feb 18th at 12:00 Noon. Recording available to all registrants.
The Sinews & The Pelvis -Webinar
Pelvic health is an area of growing clinical interest for acupuncturists, yet it is often underrepresented in formal training. The Sinews & the Pelvis is a specialized continuing education course designed for licensed acupuncturists seeking to expand their clinical understanding of pelvic health through the framework of the Jing Jin (sinew channels).
This live webinar will take place on January 28th at 12:00 PM EST and offers an integrative, clinically relevant approach that bridges classical Chinese medicine theory, modern anatomical concepts, and evidence‑informed manual and needling techniques applicable to pelvic conditions.

Return on investment-pelvic care for acupuncturists
I know it can feel really intense to spend $1600 on a weekend continuing education course. For many of us as acupuncturists, $1600 is going to support our family and our practice, and spending that money without a guaranteed return on investment can really push boundaries and comfort zones.

Are We in Fear Mode as Acupuncturists?
I have the pleasure of teaching around the country and interacting with acupuncturists on a daily basis. I hear success stories, major milestones, transformations—and lately, a resounding sense of fear. This fear stems from so many questions about our collective identity as acupuncturists. With a good number of acupuncture schools closing their doors, it makes sense that we have a lot of questions.
