🩺 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
At The Pelvic Acu, we are dedicated to helping acupuncturists expand their skills and bring vital pelvic health care into their practice. That’s why we’ve designed Pelvic Care for Acupuncturists—a 2-day, live, hands-on practical trainingthat provides the knowledge and tools needed to safely and effectively address pelvic floor health.
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.
