Chinese medicine offers a vast array of phenomenally powerful self-healing solutions. There are all sorts of techniques you can practice, alongside Western treatment, in order to alleviate health and wellbeing issues. In this free video, I introduce you to the first three.

Winter is officially here, and with it the season of Yin. The colder months are a time for true inner reflection and contemplation – think of it like how animals go into hibernation, and turn their energy inward. We, too, need to slow down and absorb as much of the calm and peace that comes with this still, tranquil season. Our Qi reserves are going to be at their lowest, so we need to concentrate on ways to rebuild and refresh as we set our intentions for the start of the new cycle.

In this Masterclass, Miranda Holder tells us how to get the most out of your Winter wardrobe, with seasonal style tips and other helpful information.

Meanwhile, I will talk us through how to protect and enhance our mental and physical wellbeing during the harsh Winter period. In particular, I focus on supporting and nourishing the Kidneys to keep the energy balanced and give them the support they need for Winter.

Throughout history, Chinese astrology has been used as a way to influence and guide us to live in harmony with the natural world, aligning with the seasons, the planets, and draw on the energetic power of each new moon and its associated animal.
Using Chinese wisdom and Five Elements theory, we can begin to understand how we can be positively guided by the characteristics of each animal – whether it be a Yin Fire Cockerel, a Yang Earth Dog or a Yin Metal Buffalo – and bring that subtle, yet immensely powerful knowledge into our own self-care.
Join me in my Harnessing Moon Power and learn to harness the power of the moon and gain a fuller understanding of what an amazing gift this knowledge can be.

As we can see in nature all around us, Autumn is a season of change and transition – the leaves on the trees turn golden and begin to fall, and this shedding is quite literally laying the groundwork for a rich and fertile environment in which new life can, again, begin to flourish.  During Autumn we, too, are in a time of change, a time of letting go.  This is the overriding emotion of the season and it is the perfect opportunity to work with the energy of Autumn to shed anything that we no longer need.  Whether it be releasing grief, old trauma, unwanted weight, stress, or destructive and self-sabotaging habits that don’t support our best emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

Join me for my Autumn Release Masterclass and I will help you to release anything that is weighing you down, clearing negative patterns and toxic emotions as we embrace the clarity of the season and, just as Mother Nature does, create our own rich and fertile internal environments in which we can again flourish.

In Chinese Medicine Autumn is a time when the yang starts to visibly subside and the yin starts to become noticeably stronger, so if our reserves of qi are already depleted we are more vulnerable to issues associated with the organs of Autumn – the Lungs and Large Intestine. We may find that physical seasonal concerns resulting from the drier weather and colder temperatures begin to surface, such as bronchial conditions, dry coughs and colds, skin and respiratory allergies, bloating, constipation and irritable bowels. Autumn is associated with the feeling of sadness, so emotional issues around grief, loneliness, or letting go can all play on our minds too.
Join me for my Autumn Health Masterclass and I’ll explain all and offer techniques, using the wealth of Chinese wisdom available to us, of how we can resolve these concerns, allowing us to look and feel our best, enjoy this lovely time of the year, and reap the benefits of the “season of mists and mellow fruitfulness”.

Eczema and Asthma are seen in Chinese medicine as a weakness of the lungs and spleen. In this one-hour masterclass I will discuss why we suffer with Eczema and Asthma, how to treat the root causes and show you simple techniques to alleviate the symptoms.

In Chinese medicine, hay fever and allergies are generally due to weakness of the lung and spleen Qi. This unique approach means that we can treat the root cause and the symptoms simultaneously. Join me for this in depth masterclass and I’ll give you the techniques you need to help banish allergies for good.

Hair loss is an extremely common issue that can prove extremely distressing. Often associated with physical and emotional stress, in Chinese wisdom hair loss is a sign of Kidney Qi deficiency. And the kidneys are responsible for the emotion of fear. Join me for this hour long class, and I’ll explain how to balance your body and nourish your kidney Qi in order to reduce hair loss for good.

Cellulite occurs when fat deposits push through the connective tissue beneath the skin. In Chinese medicine, there are a few reasons for cellulite, from excess phlegm to a weak spleen or coldness inside the body. The good news? We have a very specific way to treat cellulite – and it is extremely effective! Join me for this 30 minute class and I will give you all the tools you need.

Feeling the warm summer sun on your skin is heavenly. Less so if you are prone to prickly heat, rashes, flushing, or excess sweating. Our skin can really suffer in the summer – but as ever, Chinese wisdom offers a fantastic approach which works from the inside out. Rashes are often a sign of imbalance or trapped heat in the body. So let’s treat the root cause and alleviate the symptoms.

This is NOT a talk on how to lose weight. Did you know that your organs play a major role in both weight loss and weight gain? I want to equip you with the tools to find balance – which is super healthy for you on the inside, and has the added benefit of bringing you to your natural shape and size in time for summer. We’ll also discuss how to live with the seasons and ways to tweak your daily habits to align with the energy of summer.

Alongside the overwhelming emotional symptoms associated with grief, it’s common to experience physical symptoms too – a heavy chest or stomach, trouble breathing, heart palpitations or pains. The same part of our brains processes both physical and emotional pain. Chinese wisdom holds that grief must be felt and processed, or it can cause physical illness. I’d love you to let me help you.

Menopause was traditionally celebrated as an important and positive time of a woman’s life. Far from being a negative experience, Chinese wisdom sees menopause as a deep energy shift – a time to heal, balance your energies and undergo transformation. And yet, almost every single person I see in clinic is suffering from horrendous symptoms. Understanding the internal imbalance that modern life creates is crucial to ensure a smooth path through menopause.

Our obsession with food and its effects on our bodies has never been greater – yet obesity, heart disease, eating disorders and diabetes rates are rocketing. I don’t like the term weight loss; it’s about finding your best body.
To lose weight successfully it requires every trick in the book, stress will undermine and impede even the most focused dieter. In this one-hour session I will help you to identify and deal with the root cause of weight persistence and dietary failure.

For thousands of years, Chinese medicine has been shouting from the mountain tops about the profound relevance of the gut to our health, both physical and mental. Digestion is a corner stone of Chinese medicine and with the bodies stress response system sharing such a close relationship with the microbiome, it is time to take action. In this one-hour masterclass I will cover the underlying issues that could be affecting you and show you a number of different techniques to help heal and calm your gut.

Chinese medicine can be really effective for sleep health, because it looks at your emotional and energetic state alongside the physical state. If your sleep is disrupted, this is said to reflect an internal imbalance in the body. During this hour-long masterclass, I’ll help you to pinpoint the underlying cause of your sleep woes and suggest techniques to try and fix them for good.

Chinese medicine has a unique approach to fertility, and there are many simple techniques you can learn to help balance and naturally support your body for the best chance of conception. Often, understanding the problem is half of the solution. So join me for this hour-long masterclass, where I’ll be delighted to share my knowledge and answer your questions.

Chinese medicine is well known for effective treatment of skin conditions. It has particular success when it comes to acne, flushing of the face, rosacea and itching disorders such as eczema and psoriasis. Rather than simply treating the symptoms with a topical solution, we look to correct the underlying imbalance to treat the problem at source. Skin conditions provide us with an excellent roadmap of inner imbalances and stressed areas of the body.

Dermatology in Chinese is Pi Fu Ke. Pi means ‘covering’ and Fu is ‘stomach’. The Chinese believe that all skin problems have their root in digestive issues, which are often caused by stress. In this session I will cover all manner of skin conditions, what they are telling you about internal imbalance and give you techniques to help alleviate the symptoms and fix the underlying issues.

Stress. The health epidemic of the 21st Century. Chronic stress causes imbalance in the body and leads to health issues. In Chinese wisdom, stress affects the free flow of qi around the body. This results in stagnation, excess heat and impeded circulation. In this one-hour class, I will teach you about the body’s in-built systems to help us de-stress and restore balance – and how to activate them. Stress is an unavoidable part of life. But learning to change how you handle it can be transformative for your health and longevity.

Chinese medicine has always rooted the emotional state firmly in the body, rather than coming from the mind. We see all the emotions as housed in the body, each one looked after by a specific organ.

And because each emotion has a specific physical location in the body, this gives you a place to direct self-treatment. This is a huge shift in perspective; it means you have a physical place where you can start healing yourself. Chinese medicine is amazing – but it’s not just acupuncture and herbs. During this one-hour recording, I will teach you that when an organ’s energy is out of balance, the corresponding emotion can dominate your mood patterns. You can self-treat really easily, and it’s such a simple way to address anxiety on a day-to-day basis – as simple even as brushing your teeth!

The Chinese approach to health is that prevention is as important as cure. The theory is that if your body is in a healthy, balanced state, it is harder for illness to get a foothold in the body.

In the same way that we can identify the things that don’t help our immune system, there are many things that do, solutions that have served us for thousands of years. In this one-hour class I will explain exactly why the self-care techniques that I teach are so effective in supporting your immunity.
