Introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine for Birth Workers

David Ta-Jen Lin, EAMP, LAc, and founder of Hopespring Wellness Clinic, will cover the foundational concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine including Qi, blood, Yin-Yang and the Five Elements and how these TCM concepts are utilized in providing care for pregnancy, birth and postpartum. After establishing some basic understanding of TCM, David will touch on Zhang-Fu and the energetic networks of the organs, each having a physical, emotional, and spiritual role. Participants will learn how Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners diagnose issues and gain a basic understanding of reproductive health from a TCM perspective, including practical applications. The workshop will wrap up with time for questions and resource sharing. $25 for NAPS members and $45 for non-members.
