In this class Suzanne will walk us through a patient case from one of her students in which the patient is treated over a period of time with two separate conditions. We will see how using constitution and formula families can help us treat a patients as they change and present over a long period of time. Suzanne will focus on the diagnostic process and we will be able to see how assumptions can easily lead us down a wrong path in our diagnosis. We will also be able to learn how to ask better questions in our intake as Suzanne guides the student with follow up questions that end up leading to a diagnosis. This class is appropriate for new practitioners as well as for anyone working to hone their diagnostic skills in herbal medicine.
Students who are interested in this class are encouraged to consider the upcoming Women's Great Turning one year program with Suzanne, Caroline and Sharon.
Suzanne found her path to Chinese Medicine after having used acupuncture to recover from a chronic injury. After months of treatment, she found that not only could she live without pain, but that she felt better and stronger in almost every way. With a background in Chinese history and years of travel in China, Chinese Medicine fit into her worldview and became a life’s journey.
Suzanne graduated from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York with a Masters of Science in Oriental Medicine, completed the White Pine Graduate Mentorship Program, where she is now a TA, and has been in private practice since then. Her goals are to provide a space for healing, relief from suffering of all forms, and help patients achieve their potential.
Suzanne specializes in women’s health conditions and has dedicated much of her life to helping women through all of life’s transitions.
Suzanne continues to learn and study At White Pine and at present she is a faculty member at the Won Institute of Graduate Studies. Previously was the Herbal Program Director at Tri-State College of Acupuncture and a faculty member at Pacific College of Health Sciences in New York.
