Seminar Description:

Cindy Micleu will discuss key times in a woman's life when dramatic hormonal changes occur, in particular at menarche, after pregnancy and childbirth, and menopause. These times often mark major life transitions and are accompanied by significant changes in both the body and the mental/emotional framework. At the same time, they also offer a "window" through which profound change can be made and health influenced for years into the future.

This course will address the imbalances that can occur at these pivotal times, and how to address them from a variety of perspectives, including both acupuncture and Chinese herbs. Hormonal changes can lead to a host of problems such as depression, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, acne, menstrual disorders, urinary issues, temperature imbalance, hypertension, and more. Emphasis will be on understanding the root of these problems, treatment of specific issues, and on patient education that helps women understand how to listen and work with their changing bodies to create health.
