Masterclasses

When conventional medicine leaves you with "just wait and see" — for HPV, cysts, or fibroids — Chinese Medicine offers a different framework entirely. Every symptom, however small, has an addressable root. This class brings that framework directly into your body.

What this masterclass covers:

• Relaxing and strengthening the pelvic floor
• Improving blood flow to the pelvis and reproductive organs
• Rejuvenating the Kidney/Adrenal system — the "Root of Life" in Chinese Medicine
• Moving stagnant Liver qi, a primary driver of PMS symptoms
• Releasing stagnant emotional energy held in the breasts and Heart
• Understanding the relationship between mind, emotions, and physical symptoms

She bridges that lived experience with clinical precision.

What this masterclass covers:

• Why embryo grading is not the whole story
• What IVF success statistics actually mean (and what they do not)
• Your role and agency within your IVF cycle

Jackie Um is a yoga instructor and personal trainer whose work centers on building a deep, embodied connection between women and their bodies — transforming daily movement into a celebration of strength and vitality.

The luteal phase is a time of inward energy, progesterone dominance, and natural preparation for rest. Movement during this phase should match that biology — supporting the nervous system, honoring reduced capacity, and building rather than depleting. This is not the time to push harder. It is the time to move smarter. Pair this with the Follicular Phase Workout below for the full picture of cyclical training.

The follicular phase is your season of rising estrogen, increasing energy, and expanding capacity. This is when your body naturally moves toward strength, sociality, and output. Jackie's follicular workout is designed to work with that biology — meeting your body at its peak window for building and exertion.

Pair this with the Luteal Phase Workout above for a complete picture of cyclical training — movement that honors your biology across all four phases rather than treating your body as a fixed, unchanging machine.

• Reiki and embodiment — the language of energy in the body
• How to be intentional with your own touch and body awareness
• A guided embodiment exercise for shifting and cultivating new energy
• How to hold new energy in the body once it has been cultivated

Feather Brower is a certified Qigong instructor and Chinese medicine student who found this work after burning out at 25 — her digestion and nervous system in shambles from a lifetime of constant achievement. She brings the embodied understanding of someone who has walked this path herself.

What this masterclass covers — a qigong flow through each organ and its emotional counterpart:

• Liver — clearing anger, resentment, and stress; making space for kindness and creativity
• Heart — clearing heartbreak, loneliness, and abandonment; making space for love and gratitude
• Spleen — clearing anxiety, worry, and overthinking; making space for balance and centeredness
• Lungs — clearing grief, sadness, shame, and disappointment; making space for courage
• Kidneys — clearing fear, shock, trauma, and burnout; making space for wisdom and willpower

Unprocessed emotion does not disappear — it settles into tissue. This practice gives it somewhere to move.
