Twelve Weeks · By Conversation
You already know what to do. You have known for a while. The distance between knowing and doing is the whole of the work, and it is not closed by learning more.
Built in clinic over more than a decade of practice, by someone trained mentorship-style in classical Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, acupressure, energy medicine, Qigong and Ba Zi, and holding a diploma in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Ontario College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Book a ConversationAlmost everyone arrives already informed. They have read the books, they know that sleep matters and that the phone at midnight is not helping, and they can tell you exactly what they ought to be doing differently.
None of that is the problem. The problem is that the knowing sits in one place and the living happens in another, and nothing crosses between them without something to carry it. More information does not carry it. Another course does not carry it. Being watched, week after week, by someone who notices when you quietly drop something. That carries it.
That is what this is. Not a curriculum you consume. A structure you are held inside of, for twelve weeks, while you actually change something.
These twelve areas were not designed at a desk. They came out of clinical practice, from noticing the same thing over and over: whatever someone came in for, the basics underneath it were the part that had come loose.
So the programme covers twelve areas rather than specialising in one. Not because more is better, but because that is where the trouble actually was.
One at a time, in order. Each builds on the ground the last one laid.
Goal Setting
What you are actually aiming at, stated plainly
Mindset
The story running underneath the behaviour
Morning Routine
How the first hour sets the shape of the day
Sleep
The organ clock, and why timing matters as much as hours
Diet
Food as it is understood in the Chinese tradition
Movement
Enough to circulate, not so much that it costs you
Stress
What it does to the system, and where it lands first
Meditation
A practice you will keep, not the one you admire
Environment
The room you are in is doing something to you
Relationships
Where your energy goes without being asked
Fun & Personal Care
The part that gets cut first and costs the most
Integration
Making it hold once the twelve weeks end
It is
It is not
Thirty minutes, no charge. You describe what is actually going on; Maria says whether this is the right thing for it, and what it costs. If it is not the right thing, she will say so. That happens often enough to be worth promising.
Cohorts begin on fixed dates and run twelve weeks. If you have had a reading in the last thirty days, its full cost comes off the programme.
