Self Strengthening Series

Mini-Workshops at the Emerald Acupuncture Center
$10  |  email to register

Each month we’ll be setting aside one evening devoted to self care and self strengthening practices. Some massage, some cupping, scraping, herbs, a little qigong. Playing with tomato stakes,  long wooden sticks, inflatable rubber balls. Brewing up a cup of tea (or two).

The only thing(s) for sure…it’ll change each month, all are welcome, and you’ll leave with techniques, tips, information and skills to add to your toolchest. And of course, you can keep up on the monthly offerings by signing up for the newsletter.
