Toronto TCM Walk: Self-Diagnostics & Tongue Reading πΏ
βFriendly Note: This is a new walk series in partnership with Aurum Medicine and Wellness. Here are all the TCM walks for July and more dates coming in August!
βThere's a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) called ι€η (Yang Sheng) and it's essentially the practice of tending to your life through the basics. The foundational stuff that isn't another comprehensive health protocol but quietly keeps everything else running.
βThe TCM Walk series is built around that idea.
βWhat's this about π
βA good TCM practitioner can learn a lot about what's going on with you before you've said a single word. The colour of your face, the coating on your tongue, the quality of your pulse...your body is constantly leaving clues.
βThis TCM walk is about learning to read some of those clues yourself.
βWe're heading to the park with a TCM practitioner from Aurum Medicine & Wellness Clinic, Melissa Ong R.TCMP R.Ac, to go through the five pillars of self-diagnosis: tongue, pulse, digestion, temperature, and emotions. Plus you'll learn how to read your own face map and understand your body clock and five elements personality type. Michelle will also share her own experience of using these tools day-to-day before Melissa goes deep into the TCM framework. Then we walk over to a cafΓ© to decompress, mingle, and keep the conversation going however feels natural.
βYou'll look at your tongue differently for the rest of your life after this walk!
βThis walk is for you if...
βYou're a founder, solopreneur, creative, or executive who has been running on stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or even burnout for longer than you'd like to admit.
βYou want a framework for understanding your body that doesn't require booking an appointment every time something feels out of balance.
βYou're a business owner who is tired of guessing and wants to start actually reading what your body is telling you.

βMeet Your Hosts
βHi, I'm Michelle ππ»
βI'm a former B2B SaaS marketer turned Intuitive Business Strategist and someone who has been quietly weaving TCM philosophy into how I work with people for a while now. The way a good TCM practitioner listens and understands before they prescribe anything, that's also how I approach my client sessions.
βThis new walk series is my way of bringing that same energy into a more relaxed setting for people who are ready to stop overcomplicating their health protocols and get back to building their internal foundations.
