Beginning Diagnostics for Herbalists
sponsored by Gathering Thyme Herb School, San Rafael
$250
This course focuses on how to read the tongue as a map to determine the health of individual organs and signs of potential imbalance and constitutional issues. Frieda will also introduce beginning neo-classical pulse, as taught in the Shen/Hammer method of pulse diagnostics. Each diagnostic tool is designed to serve as an anchor to correctly assess what’s happening in the body and how to rebalance with herbs. Appropriate for intermediate and advanced herbalists.
Frieda Kipar Bay has studied pulse diagnosis with two of the most prominent pulse teachers in North America: Brian LaForgia L.Ac. and William Morris L.Ac. In this course, we will draw from the Shen/Hammer Pulse diagnosis method and NeoClassical pulse diagnostics, developed by William Morris, L.Ac. Frieda uses these key diagnostic techniques in her clinical practice to guide her inquiry and inform her herbal formulating with great success. She has trained in both Western and Eastern traditions and uses language that combines the best of both these modalities. In addition to her ongoing herbal training, she has studied Medical Chi Gong, somatic therapy, and the Feldenkrais Method and calls on all modalities when seeing clients.
