The Pelvic Acu

06/11/2026

Seattle, we’re coming back to you.

There’s a specific kind of joy that lives in a room where acupuncturists are leaning over a table together, hands on hands, feeling the pelvic floor and the tissues around it for the very first time. The breath that catches when they finally find the structure they’ve been treating around for years. The way the room goes quiet, then loud, then quiet again.

That’s what these two days are.

The Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine gives us a space that holds it. Room to demonstrate. Room to practice. Room for every acupuncturist there to be seen, to ask the question they’ve been holding, to put their hands on the work instead of just hearing about it.

Twelve to sixteen of us. Two days. Hands on, all of it.

The photos here are from our last SEATTLE practical. This is what closing the gap looks like in a room full of people brave enough to do the work.

If you’ve been feeling the pelvic gap in your own practice, this is your room. Come find out what wants to move.

September 12 + 13. Seattle Institute of East Asian Medicine (SIEAM)

Every city on this list started the same way.

An acupuncturist sitting across from a client who finally named the thing she had no language for. The leakage. The pain with s*x. The ache she carried for years while provider after provider called it part of being a woman.

You are already the first to catch it. You can be the one who treats it too.

Twelve to fourteen acupuncturists. Two days. Hands on the work, the whole being, not just the muscle.

This is the rest of 2026, five practicals kept small on purpose.

Be the acu who knows how.

How to introduce your pelvic acupuncture services to local healthcare providers.

Most acupuncturists send one email, hear nothing, and decide the provider wasn’t interested. They were just busy.

The acu who build real referral networks don’t send better cold emails. They show up as colleagues. They drop off a one pager and a single relevant study. They comment on a provider’s content for weeks before they ever send a DM. They write a clinical referral note after every shared client, subjective findings, TCM and biomedical assessment, plan, expected outcomes. That note is the most underused marketing move in our profession, because providers refer to colleagues who communicate clearly.

One detail that changes everything: keep the spiritual language off the one pager. Put a QR code on it that books a 15-minute call. The one pager is the bridge to the conversation, not the conversation itself.

Then follow up. Six weeks. Six months. Twelve months. The relationship is built on the fourth touch.

The full playbook, the one pager checklist, the DM script, and the research by specialty, is on the blog. Link in bio or comment BLOG

Montreal, you filled our first room in a single day.
so we opened a second. 🍁

Here is what i keep coming back to. the acu who grabbed one of those first seats did not need convincing that pelvic care matters.

They already feel it. the client who mentions the leaking on her way out the door. the fertility client whose pain nobody has named. the ortho client whose low back never fully resolves. They see the gap every week and they are tired of handing all of it off to someone else.

So when the first dates filled, I could not bring myself to turn the rest of you away.

📆September 30 and October 1
📍Montreal, QC .ca

Two days, hands on, 20 PDA. a small room, real needles in real bodies, the pelvic floor and everything around it, taught the way i wish someone had taught me.

Are you the acu who keeps catching it and sending it out the door? this is the room where you learn to keep them.

comment MONTREAL and I will send you the link. 🤍

For 20 years, she was trained to avoid the pelvis.

Massage school said avoid it. Acupuncture school skipped it. The rule was identical in both rooms. Stay away, and never let the patient sense you were anywhere near it.

Sound familiar?

Most acupuncturists were trained around the pelvis, not into it. Not because the conditions are rare. Because no one taught the region with enough respect to make it safe to treat.

So the patient with pelvic pain, with leakage, in postpartum recovery, the one quietly hoping someone will finally address it, gets worked around too.

That is the gap TOVA, L.Ac. closed.

Twenty years in massage, now an acupuncturist. She came in carrying the same avoidance you might be carrying. She left working the hips, thighs, abdomen, and the pelvic floor itself with confidence and ease.

One thing she named that matters: the cohort. A room of professionals who treated a sensitive region with the seriousness it deserves. That safety is not a bonus. It is the method.

The pelvic care your patients already need does not require you to figure it out alone.

The Practical is where you learn it, in person, in a cohort. 20 PDAs. Next date: June 20 + 21 - Chicago!

Save this. Send it to the practitioner who needs it.
