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.
🩺 Upcoming Pelvic Acu Grand Rounds – Oct 22nd
Continuing education is one of the most important parts of being an effective, confident practitioner — and at The Pelvic Acu, we’re committed to keeping our community inspired, connected, and learning together. Our next Grand Rounds session will be held on Wednesday, October 22nd, and is worth 1 NCCAOM-approved PDA.

Upcoming Pelvic Care Practicals for Acupuncturists

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.

My Why: A Journey into Pelvic Health
Since 2009, I’ve been on a transformative journey—a journey rooted in bringing Pelvic Care to Acupuncturists. What began as a seedling of an idea has blossomed into a mission to empower practitioners to address pelvic health challenges at their core. 🌱I teach pelvic health to acupuncturists because I believe we are uniquely positioned to treat not just the symptoms of dysfunction but its true source. This means addressing the physical, emotional, and energetic patterns that underlie pelvic health challenges.✨ My journey to this understanding has been deeply personal and profoundly transformative.
