The Optimal 101 Series
I started the Optimal 101 Series about a few years ago because I wanted to go more in depth on certain topics, that I don’t have time to cover in detail in the Womb Wisdom Self Healing Workshop. It also gives people an introduction to my work and what I think on certain topics, since my opinions are usually different from the status quo.
I offer the whole series live twice a year, usually on Wednesday mornings Thailand time from 8–10 a.m. Each class is around 1.5 to 2 hours long, depending on how long the Q & A lasts. I record the classes so they are available to download at any time. If you come to the live session, you can get the recording, and if you buy the recording, you are welcome to come to the next live class. I do upgrade them each time, so you are always welcome back. The classes are casual; I do a presentation and welcome all questions.
Below are the subjects I have covered so far...
The Painful Period Myth - June 3
Join Lisa for The Painful Period Myth on June 3rd from 8am to 10am Thai time.
In this workshop, we will be discussing what could be causing the pain and what we can do about it;
because periods should not be painful no matter what you have been told inn the past.
Do you or someone you love have painful periods?
Pain is a message!
What is the message in the symptoms is the question we need to be addressing.
The pain could be caused by cold, stagnation, a displaced uterus and a few other reasons which you probably never heard of before. It can be fixed, it just takes a bit of detective work and a different perspective and approach.
Join Lisa for this informative workshop and learn what you can do to help yourself or others. Lisa had her own struggle with difficult periods, so she has a lot to say on this subject. The pill really is not the answer and just sets you up for future problems.

8am-10am Bangkok, Thailand time (GMT+7)
9am -11am Singapore time

intro to tCM Healing Modalities
Join Lisa for Intro to TCM Healing Modalites on June 17th 8am to 10am Thai time.
This workshop is designed to introduce you to some amazing methods of healing that are not that well known. Chinese medicine is much more then acupuncture and herbs.

This workshop is all about giving you some basic understanding of these modalities and showing you how I use them in practice and in my self care routine. The end goal of course is to get you curious to try them yourself or go see a practitioner who uses them in their practice.

postpartum wellness sitting moon
Join Lisa for The Importance of Post-Partum or Sitting Moon Workshop July 1st from 8am to 10am Thai time.
"Sitting Moon" (坐月子, zuò yuè zi), or "Sitting the Month," is a traditional 30-40 day postpartum confinement practice in Chinese medicine focused on profound rest, intensive nourishment, and protection to help a new mother heal from the depletion of childbirth and restore her energy ("Qi") and blood. It is also a time for the family to bond together as they move into the next chapter together.
In this workshop, we will discuss the importance of this time in a women, child and man's life. In our culture we have really lost our way in understanding why this time is so important. We glorify those that are up and out running a few weeks after birth without understanding the implications of what we are doing.
WE need a time to rest, restore and recover after birth. We are not men and our bodies do not function the same way. This class is for everyone not just pregnant women, if we want to change society we need to understand that "peace on earth begins with birth and post-partum" this is the set up to the future.
Join Lisa for this enlightening Workshop, we will cover a variety of topics....
You will learn...
*The importance of those first 30-40 days
*Why mom and bub need to be kept warm
*5-5-5 five days on the bed, five days around the bed, and five days near the bed. At least! Ideally we are following the 30-40 days like tradtional cultures.
*Nouishing foods
*Why this time is an investment in the families future
*Getting dad and loved ones to understand
*This is a pivotal time in a women's life, we can transform her health for the better if we understand how
*If not, what we see playing out with postpartum depression is really a lack of education and understanding
*Lots of resources
*And so much more...

CELEBRATING WOMANHOOD
Join Lisa for the Celebrating Womenhood Workshop on July 22nd from 8am to 10am Thai time.
This workshop is for moms/aunties/grandmas/teachers/etc. who want some guidance in how to talk to the young women (and boys) in their lives about menstruation.
Sadly, this rite of passage is overlooked in our culture and this leads to all kinds of issues later on. Menarche is the "set up" to other transitions in our lives; fertility, pregnancy, birth and menopause. It is so important that we have a positive experience as we enter our menstruating years. I am continually shocked that half the women I meet in practice or in my workshops are not told about their periods and this leads to shame, fear, and a lack of understanding about their amazing bodies.
In this Workshop, we will cover a variety of topics....
*How mom has a key role as role model. How do we as mom's honor our menstruation?
*What is our menstrual story?
*Honoring our cyclical bodies
*Understanding that women have 7 year cycles
*Cold and how it affects women
*Talking to our girls (and boys) about menstruation
*How to use the energy in our cycle in our life
*Charting our cycle from a young age to connect with our bodies
*Menstrual products
*And more....

Frequently Asked Questions
What services do you offer?
Most of what I do these days is about education, which can be online or in person, but I also offer treatment sessions in person if you would like to come visit me in Thailand. My work is based on Maya Abdominal Therapy & Chinese medicine as I am also an acupuncturist. I find these two modalities really fill in a lot of the gaps as far as Western medicine approach to health. But I also do massage, acupuncture, cupping, gua-sha, moxa, etc. it really depends what I feel is appropriate for you.
How do I get started?
Ideally, everyone would start with the Womb Wisdom Self Care Workshop because we really do not learn much about our bodies, our menstrual cycle, our anatomy, etc. It helps to start there if possible, so you can get an understanding of where I am coming from. I have also designed the Optimal 101 Series to discuss different topics in detail. At this point, I have about 13 workshops covering a range of topics like: painful periods, fibroids, endometriosis, prolapse, post-partum care, breast health, honoring & supporting miscarriage, the magic of moxa, etc. I touch on all of these in the Womb Wisdom Self Care but wanted to go into each a bit deeper and offer resources for further exploration. If you really want some hands-on work and to spend some time with me, I recommend coming to Koh Yao Noi for a personalized retreat.
Who is it for?
This work is for everyone! While a lot of my focus is on women, I also work on men and children. It depends on your particular health concern or what you would like to learn. But we can all benefit from these wise women’s ways that have mostly been forgotten.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes, most of my work is virtual now. As much as I was resistant to it in the beginning, I now see that it works well. Particularly, because my passion is teaching you to take your health into your own hands. Learning online from the get go, you are taking self-responsibility to do the abdominal massage, castor oil packs, yoni-steaming or whatever will be helpful for your specific concern. It really is time we stop out-sourcing our health and recognize that the body is designed to self-heal, self-repair and self-regulate. We talk about this a lot in the Womb Wisdom Self Care Workshop.
How many treatments do I need?
It depends. Like I said about most of my work in virtual these days. I actually never treated like most practitioner as I was always travelling and teaching. For me it is important to give you the tools to help yourself. Having said that, there are times when a treatment is necessary. I would need further information to assess how many treatments.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes, you can. I really find Maya Abdominal Therapy, Chinese Medicine and Yoga to be a great combination and that was the impetus for me and a friend founding Optimal Reproductive Health. I think they make a well-rounded approach that provides, education, treatment and self care tools. Of course, other therapies could be considered too as well as Western medicine.
Do you treat men? Can or shall I bring my partner?
Yes, I treat men. Most men find me because they have digestive issues, scars, or chronic pelvic pain. All of us need this work! What we are missing these days is preventative uterine (and prostate) wellness. What we have is disease detection. If the couple is wanting to conceive than to me it is essential that the partner comes too.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, please contact me personally to discuss your situation and we can discuss a payment plan or other options.
