Toronto TCM Walk: Herbal Tea Tasting π΅
βFriendly Note: This is part of the Toronto TCM Walk Series run in partnership with Aurum, here's the rest of the series.
βYou didn't start a business to feel like this.
βWired at midnight. Foggy by 2pm. Running on caffeine, adrenaline, and the sheer will to not drop anything. If that's familiar, this one's for you.
ββEvent Overview π
βIn Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) there's a concept called ι€η (Yang Sheng) which is tending to your life through the basics before you need a full health protocol to fix it. This tea tasting is Yang Sheng in its simplest, most doable form: sitting still for some time with something specifically chosen to help your body come down off the ledge.
βYou'll try two different herbal blends in which one is built for stress and anxiety while the other is for the tired-but-wired exhaustion that doesn't go away with sleep. TCM practitioner, Melissa Ong, will walk you through what's in each, why it works, and which one your body is actually asking for right now.
βWho this is for
βThis one's built specifically for business owners and self-employed folks who:
β Are running on stress, adrenaline, or "I'll rest when it's done"
β Feel tired in a way that a good night's sleep doesn't fix
β Want something real and low-effort to add to their routine not another wellness protocol to manage
β Like the idea of small, unpolished, in-person rooms over another webinar
βHere's how the afternoon goes βοΈ
βWe're keeping this one seated and intimate so no walking required, just show up and sit down.
ββ We'll open with a short, casual round so you know who's in the room
β Tea one: a blend for stress and anxiety with Melissa walking through what's in it and why
β Tea two: a blend for burnout and depletion for the "tired but can't switch off" feeling
β A short guided reflection tying it back to Yang Sheng and your own routine
β Then we open it up for you to stay and talk shop, or slip out whenever you need to
βWhat's included in your ticket π
ββ A guided tasting of 2 herbal tea blends, chosen for stress, overwhelm, and burnout
β TCM resource guide for the event's topic
β A complimentary personalized TCM assessment and discovery call with Melissa Ong R.TCMP, R.Ac
β A $20 off voucher toward acupuncture services with Melissa Ong R.TCMP, R.Ac at Aurum Medicine & Wellness Clinic
βWhat is Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)
βTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a medical system that has been practiced for thousands of years and is built around the idea that health comes from balance and harmony within the body. Instead of just looking at isolated symptoms, TCM looks at the person as a whole from the body, mind to environment while identifying patterns and treating the internal root causes. TCM uses approaches such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance. All aimed at restoring harmony between the Yin Yang and supporting the body's natural ability to heal.
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.
