Learn to better understand & connect

with yourself & others and more accurately recommend herbal remedies with this ancient perspective
Constitutions or "Body Typing" is a foundational concept that every health and wellness practitioner can benefit from understanding. This ancient philosophy helps us see how we are uniquely different, innately alike, and how we interact naturally in our environment. 

These observation skills can help practitioners of all levels of experience better understand how a person is responding to their environment and how this can cause deep-seated dis-ease and profound wellness. Also, this understanding helps us to create specific protocols to help clients and patients. We explore a number of traditional teachings on these topics including: Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, and more.

Tara Baklund

It was through the study of body typing that helped Tara heal herself from years of painfully dry skin and digestive issues. She learned to work with her body, rather than working on it. This is the focus of her book (currently under revision) and is the center of much of her teaching.
