January Learning Lab

It’s Winter Season!

Seasonal blues got your patients down? Join Adam and Suzanne as they review one of the most common patterns affecting patients with dips in mood through the watery winter months. They will discuss how to treat the affected channels using a Seasonal Balance approach that will give your patients support through the winter blues.

This month we are going to talk about all things Winter season, with a Balance Acupuncture approach. That’s seasonal ailments and issues that we are seeing in our clinics through the lens of Balance Acupuncture with a little bit of humour tossed in.

Join online for 1 hour from wherever you are! Times listed are in the Pacific time zone.

We’ll begin at 12:00pm PST.

— About the Earth Season Learning Lab Series —

Every quarter (during the Earth months), let’s take a moment to ground ourselves and come together as a community.

The Learning Labs are designed for anyone that has completed the Balance System Foundations courses (in person or by webinar). We talk about various ailments and issues that are common in clinics from a Single Balance and/or Multiple Balance perspective. This is a time to learn from each other and to develop connections and friendships.

These Learning Labs will be an opportunity to ask questions, go over tricky cases, review a concept or share a success story you are proud of. Mainly it is a fluid setup that will be adjusted to the needs of the attendees.

No two Learning Labs are ever the same!

$5 for the hour, free for members of The Hub (private Tan Academy community), coupon code can be found in The Hub on the Wall.
