Reclaim Your Yin
A Holistic Chinese
Medicine Practice
Focusing on Women’s Health
With Dr. Melody Walford
Come home to your vitality and true nature with a whole being relationship to healing. In today's fast-paced, modern world, health can seem out of reach. As women we have be taught, from an early age, to forget about the wisdom of the feminine and yin energy. We have become disconnected from our innate connection with nature, and conditioned to ignore our own bodies. A return to a cyclical way of living, by honoring of the different life and cycle phases, can encourage connection with one’s sovereignty. This unique process of alchemy supports freer, healthier, empowered, and more joy-filled life. By honoring this individual transformational work, we become a part of the restoration of balance in the ecosystem and cultivate a more sustainable existence. It's time to embrace the power of nature and reclaim your yin.
I honour the Yuułuʔiłʔatḥ, Tla-o-qui-aht, Komox First Nations and Coast Salish, Pentalach people’s unceded traditional ancestral territory that I am learning to be a gentle guest upon.
