⚔️ Silver Edge: Pre-Menstrual Power and the Metal Element

PMS is normalized, but it's not normal.

Underneath the "symptoms" there's a current of wisdom that your body is communicating to you. Your Luteal (pre-menstrual phase) is known as your Inner Autumn. It's a season that reaps the harvest, draws its energy stores IN, tends to what's close and protects.

But I get it. Our culture doesn't support body or cycle literacy. Instead, we're taught to disconnect, ignore, and push through our bodies' own messages. But eventually, the signals will get so loud, they will literally stop you in your tracks.

Let's learn to listen before the body has to shout. Come explore how the silver edge of our pre-menstrual time is where we cultivate our Powers of Discernment.

📅 September 12, 2026 · 3:30–5:30 PM · Claremont Yoga, Los Angeles 🪽

✨ Free Class: The Perimenopause Threshold & Chinese Medicine

🗓️ Tuesday, September 15 🕒 11am PST

Spread the word...it's that time of year again. I'm giving my annual talk on Perimenopause and how Chinese Medicine views this life phase not as a disease, but an opportunity...one of our "Three Golden Opportunities" in fact.

💺 Buckle up because we're really going to get into it this year. There's A LOT of noise out there. I took 6 months off socials recently and returned to a feed filled with [peri]menopause content that fed on all of our fears. This talk will help you to zoom out a bit and gain new perspectives. Come with your questions.

We'll be discussing:
❔ What Perimenopause is, when it starts, and how long it lasts
🌀 7-Year Life Cycles of Female Physiology
⭐ Our Three Golden Opportunities: Menstruation, Postpartum & Perimenopause
🗺️ Your Cycles mapped along the 5 Elements/Phases
🎑 Perimenopause as your "Harvest" season
💊 Why Perimenopause isn't just about your hormones
🫂 How you can best support yourself through this threshold

Every month, your body asks a smaller version of the same question perimenopause will eventually ask on a bigger scale. What needs holding, and what needs releasing? The assignment during both is discernment.

Want to learn more about this pre-menstrual edge, and why it's not the problem you've been told it is? And how it prepares you for the threshold of perimenopause?

Come sit with us, in circle.

Our Earth element organs, the Spleen & Stomach are responsible for rotting and ripening, transformation and transportation. This is literally where Qi + Blood are formed. Earth, and our digestive process is the ground every other element must return to before it can become the next one, the fulcrum that carries us through every transition, between seasons, between phases of the cycle, between stages of life.

So, how are you digesting life? This question matters. Everything we move through, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, runs through this same ground, and lands, ultimately, in the womb. Blood is the root for females, so if we're not digesting well, we're not able to build blood well.

This is exactly what we'll explore together in The Womb Palace: Earth, the Season Between All Seasons, our opening gathering of Womb Ways. Through gentle movement + discussion, we'll observe the tissues and sense organs that reveal how our own Earth element is doing, through self-massage, acupressure, and qigong. I hope to see you there!

It's been a while since I posted an intro post. I frequently take breaks from this space and there's a lot of new followers here. Hello and welcome fam! I know the algo game changes all the time so I'm not even sure posts get shared to my actual followers 🤷🏼‍♂️, so be sure to sign up for one of the waitlists in my bio to make sure we actually stay connected.

There are many ways that we can explore the womb continuum together from online immersions, certifications, continuing education credits (for fellow acus) and even in-person workshops. I share a lot in my newsletters as well.

If it's the first time we're meeting, my name is Kris and I'm a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine. I got my degree at Yo San University Acupuncture School here in Los Angeles County. I love teaching and swimming in conversations about female cycles and how intimately connected we are to the earth and celestial 🌌 bodies. If that's something that tickles you too, then you're in the right place.

I've been in practice since 2011 and over the years I've collaborated with the most amazing people. I'm all about collaboration over competition. It truly does take a village, so I hope this might be a space for you to feel a sense of belonging.

As we start to dip into the Yin side of year, let's remember to pause in the abundance of Yang, take care of our somas and hearts 💓. There are some exciting things coming up so stay tuned loves.

Let's gather in person as we connect with our wombs and the cosmic movements that shape them, the seasons turning outside us, and the seasons turning within.

Your Womb Palace isn't separate from the world around it. It's in constant conversation with it, digesting not only what you eat, but every season, every shift, every transition you move through. When that digestion runs smoothly, you flow. When it stalls, you feel it... heaviness, fog, a resistance to change that Chinese Medicine calls dampness.

This is Earth's work, and Earth is the ground every other element returns to, the same ground your Womb Palace calls home.

Come explore what your own Earth element is asking for, through self-massage, acupressure, and qigong, and build a plan for moving through your own in-between spaces with a little more ease.

🌍 The Womb Palace: Earth, the Season Between All Seasons

Your womb is called Bao Gong 胞宮, the "Womb Palace" in Chinese Medicine. And right now, it's moving through Late Summer, Earth's own season, the ground every other element must return to before it can become the next one.

In our foundational first gathering, we'll explore what the Womb Palace holds: digestion in the fullest sense, what we ingest, metabolize, and integrate, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. We'll observe the tissues and sense organs that reveal how our Earth element is doing, through self-massage, acupressure, and qigong, and build a plan for moving through our own in-between spaces, one season, one cycle, one stage of life at a time.

This is where Womb Ways begins. Come connect to the Moon within you.

📅 Date: August 22, 2026 · 3:30–5:30 PM
📍 Location: Claremont Yoga, Claremont, California
🌾 Series: Womb Ways (A Womb School Series)
💵 Cost: $47

Our workshops are intimate by design. Be sure to save your seat.

What a blessing to be able to age and grow older. My brother Robert passed away when he was just 22 years old. I turned 47 yesterday. Another turn ☀️ around the sun. He would have been 48 in a few weeks. Both summer babies. Time is wild isn't it? I was chatting with the wondrous Grace Brown about how I've had so many "eras" in this lifetime and I'm so grateful that the saga continues...

Many of you know what I mean when I say I'm in my Metal years. This is my era of breath, boundaries and the power of discernment. These skills get sharpened in the Autumnal season of our lives. It feels quite nice to be this clear...knowing where I want to put my energy and where to pull away.

I spent the weekend in celebration with Isidro, Atticus y Abram. We hiked the mountains behind our house. A dear friend Vivian Díaz and I hiked a few days prior where she graciously shared where some freshwater pools were 🌊. We spent the rest of the weekend enjoying sushi, mochi and traditional Korean tea. The boys didn't really care for the tea 😹, but Abram tried sushi for the first time and he loved it!

And today we ventured to the farmer's market to see if they had jujubes 👀 IYKYK. Be sure to check out your local markets for them - it's Jujube Season babes! It's such a great food/herb for replenishing qi + blood, especially after your bleed and during postpartum.

Wishing you all a golden Lammas 🌾. Be sure to honor this seasonal point by either baking bread (working with grains), preparing food from your recent harvest, remembering to acknowledge what you've created or cultivated this year so far, honor the abundance around you and most of all don't forget to pause in reflection during this halfway point in the Year of the Yang Fire Horse. If things are moving too fast for you, be sure to visit large bodies of water and maybe even take a dip 👙.

Deep bows & blessings - stay tuned for in-person gatherings at Claremont Yoga 🦋

🌀 Your womb is a teacher. And if you listen, she'll share stories of cycles, blood, lineage, vitality, and creativity.

Most of us were never taught how to listen. We've been told we don't even need our periods, that we can just get rid of them if we want. But did you know that your menstrual blood carries its own stem cells, where researchers are studying it for its ability to help heal wounds? What we've been taught to see as dirty or unclean is actually regenerative. This is power, hidden and shamed away.

Come sit in circle with me as we relearn Womb Ways and listen, together. Each month, we gather in person to explore one phase of the menstrual cycle or one stage of life, sacred menstruation, ovulation, perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, the maiden years, all through the lens of East Asian Medicine and the wisdom already living in your womb.

We'll draw from a toolkit of practical herbal remedies, warming methods such as moxa or steaming, self-massage, acupressure, and qigong, whichever the season and the phase call for. Slow, sensuous 🌹 attunement to whatever our bodies are asking for.

Womb Ways is our in-person Womb School Series at Claremont Yoga in Claremont, California (Los Angeles County). We are near Pomona, Upland, Montclair, Ontario & Rancho Cucamonga areas.

Come to every gathering with your friends, or only the ones that call your womb. Either way, the wheel keeps turning, and you're always welcome back to it.

Our workshops are intimate by design. Be sure to save your seat.

See you soon...

Felt like a garden fairy 🧚‍♂️ hanging with friends this morning. Feeling so blessed to learn womb and earth tending from Vivian and Carina at the beautiful .

Love how traditional medicines have so much in common. We mindfully harvested herbs, offered to***co and hair back to the earth. We learned about herbal bajos, teas and womb massage.

We connected with our somas, each other, our ancestors and the land. Thank you for facilitating such a wonderful workshop for the community. Deep bows & blessings.
