The Importance of Blood in Your Obstetric Practice

Completed but recording available!

PURCHASE HERE (ON DEMAND) ➡

If you have had patients who suffer from habitual miscarriage, or issues in pregnancy such as preeclampsia, hyperemesis, premature labor, intrauterine growth retardation, or abdominal pain, this course is for you. In this five-hour course, Sharon will draw from her 40 years’ experience and her in-depth translations to help practitioners understand the physiology of blood in relation to a healthy pregnancy. From physiology, Sharon will give explicit instructions for diagnosing and treating blood pathology in pregnancy, based on classical texts. Zhāng Zhòngjǐng gives us clear instructions on how to see the early warning signs of problems to come so that they may never arise. As practitioners, being confident in our ability to address such issues is part of what makes practice a joy.

Key Intake Skills for Accurate Diagnosis

Completed but recording available!

PURCHASE HERE (ON DEMAND) ➡

When a patient walks into our clinic, we can shape the encounter to build rapport, show compassion, AND get the information we need. Efficiency and warmth often feel at odds: be efficient and risk seeming cold, connect warmly and lose time. After 40-plus years of practice, Sharon has honed an intake process that is streamlined, efficient, and warmly connected. Like yīn-yáng, efficiency and warmth depend on each other.
In this course, Sharon dissolves that false divide. She also helps practitioners understand which questions and explorations are essential, how to ask them, and how they guide the final diagnosis, focusing on these critical areas:

  1. The foundational role of looking for diagnosis according to Zhāng Zhòngjǐng
  2. The subtleties of thirst: why clear information is sometimes hard to get, and how to get it
  3. Digging into urination beyond “how is your urination?” What reveals a patient’s fluid metabolism, and how thirst and urination intertwine
  4. Asking about poops: what aids diagnosis and what details you can ignore
  5. Asking about eating: cravings, sensitivities, fullness, and the nature of discomfort
  6. And much more (sleep, emotions, etc.)

Learning Through Cases: In-depth study of cases for clinical effectiveness

Completed but recording available!

PURCHASE HERE (ON DEMAND) ➡

There are many lessons case studies can teach us, and doctors have been recording their cases as well as their thoughts on the cases for hundreds of years. In this course, Sharon will take students through case records she has translated and discuss the clinical lessons she has learned through them. These include lessons on dosages, combining formulas, herb safety, forbidden herbs, diagnosis, and mistaken treatment.

Sharon will share some of her favorite translated texts on case records as well as a book of her case record translations. She hopes that students can see such works as an essential clinical reference.

Herb Pair Series: Zhi Shi and Hou Po

On Demand

This is the first class in the White Pine Circle Herb Pair Series, beginning with the foundational herb pair guìzhī and gāncǎo.

This pairing appears throughout the classical canon. Once you understand how these two herbs work together, their action becomes visible across a wide range of formulas.

In this class, we will explore how small, seemingly simple herb pairs function as core therapeutic gestures within larger formulas. These two-herb combinations act as concise “methods” that reappear in many contexts. Learning to recognize them allows practitioners to see formulas more clearly, understand their internal logic, and apply them with greater clinical precision.

Understanding how these small formula units operate within larger formulas is a key foundation for accurate diagnosis, confident prescribing, and flexible clinical thinking.
