Our Way
We are all bound by cyclical rhythms. In these modern times, we’ve lost connection to our nature. Most modern diseases are linked to the way we live, our lifestyle. The Way of Yin is a path back home to yourself. A path of self-discovery. A path in cycles and rhythms.
The path of Longevity. Welcome.
The earth’s seasons as well as our own inner seasons reflect each other. As the world around us cycles, so do we. As your guide, we’ll explore ways to tune in and harness our own capacity to heal and live well; one season at a time.
“Health is a practice in harmony of the two basic forces; yin and yang, and working with the five phases — wood, fire, earth, metal and water.”
Female Jing Unfolds in Seven Year Cycles
Our lives move to the celestial rhythm of seven. In female physiology, each seven-year cycle marks a profound season of change—a new chapter of stories, strengths, and challenges for our body and spirit.
These seasonal turns are powerful thresholds. Within them lie pivotal opportunities to deeply nurture or inadvertently compromise reproductive and overall health.
Rooted in Chinese Medicine and bridged through integrative care, The Way of Yin is your guide. We walk with you to harmonize with each season’s embodied wisdom, from menarche to menopause and through every transition beyond.
Jing is your deep-rooted essence, the innate blueprint for your development and reproductive strength. Think of it as your personal inner clock, whose quiet rhythm guides your entire lifespan.
This clock, as noted in Daoist Neigong for Women, “carries out the developmental process we know as ageing.” Ageing is a natural unfolding, yet the tempo and grace of that process are not fixed. They are shaped by our choices, lifestyle and our harmony with nature.
Here, you’ll learn the art of preserving your precious Jing through each season of life, transforming the passage of time into a journey of intentional, essence-centered living.
Female Wellness Map
You are made of Essence. In Chinese Medicine, they call it Jing. For those of us with menstrual cycles, Jing cycles in 7-year cycles. So, what is Jing? Dr. Lia Andrews describes it as “concentrated creative power that is passed to us from our ancestors and parents through the egg and sperm, through our DNA. Our Jing acts as our reserves of energy and is related to our hormonal and reproductive functioning. The quantity and quality of our Jing dictate our ability to manifest in this world.”

Longevity is one of those health buzzwords you often hear thrown around. But how does one actually support a long and healthy life? Longevity is nothing without the practices to get there. In Chinese Medicine, there’s a concept of lifestyle practices called 養生 Yǎng Shēng. Yǎng translates as “take care of”, nourish and nurture. Shēng means life, vitality and birth, Nourishing or Nurturing Life.

My Journey
I am one of many folks who fell through the cracks of conventional medicine. With a diagnosed autoimmune condition at the tender age of 13, I was given limited and invasive recommendations that only made me feel more ill and fragmented. With the guidance of my mother, my ancestors and intuition, I leaned into natural medicines to not only heal my body, but also my heart, mind and spirit.
I knew from a young age that I wanted to help people. I wanted to be part of something that heals wounds from the roots all the way up. What I’ve come to learn is that healing happens in knowing & relating to yourself, your communities and to our collective home; earth. Thanks for being here.
