I’m happy to tell you that the Beta version of www.nourishedheart.org is ready for viewing. Enjoy! You can get here from there, if you enjoy circuitous routes. Thanks to Papa Steve, renaissance man.
I’m off to the CSOMA conference. Here’s the program’s description of my seminar:
The Nourished Heart: Treating Disordered Eating Patterns with Chinese Medicine
Rachel Farber, MS, LAc
The body ecology model of Chinese medicine provides an ideal framework for working with disordered eating patterns. We nourish the heart of the body, mind and spirit–essentials for healing these complex disorders. Ms. Farber outlines various types of disordered eating patterns, including binge eating, bulimia, anorexia nervosa, and chronic dieting, and presents TCM diagnoses and innovative treatment strategies, also exploring the biomedical triangle relationship of mood, hormone imbalance and nutrition. Ms. Farber shares clinical tips for working with people who suffer from challenging combinations of conditions including low self-esteem, poor digestion, anxiety, hormonal issues, and addiction patterns.About the Presenter:
Rachel Farber, MS, LAc, has specialized in treating disordered eating patterns for the past 8 years. She has taught workshops, led support groups, and worked with hundreds of individuals to help free them from the constraints that food addictions, mood disorders and body image issues have created. Her program combines yoga and Chinese medicine to help people heal their relationships with food. She currently teaches and is in private practice in Arcata, California.
After the conference, we’re off to OZ Farm, where I’ll teach yoga and cooking for our inaugural year of Farm Camp! Strawberry goat milk ice cream, anyone?
