Heal Mind Body Soul

Hey friends! 🌿
I wanted to reach out and let you know that the Second Spring workshop scheduled for May 28th has been postponed due to circumstances beyond our control. We're working on finding a new date and will share updates as soon as we have them!
To those of you who had already signed up — thank you so much for your support. I will be reaching out to you personally.
In the meantime, Qigong for Summer is underway and there's still time to join us. It's a beautiful season to move, breathe, and reconnect. 🌞
Stay tuned! 💛

There's a name in Traditional Chinese Medicine for what you're going through.
It's called the Second Spring.
In Chinese medicine, menopause isn't a hormone failure or a problem to be treated. It's a passage — one that carries the same weight and significance as puberty did decades ago.
Your first spring was when your body opened into fertility.
Your Second Spring is when something different becomes possible.
Here's what the medicine says is actually happening: the blood and Qi that once supported your monthly cycle begins redirecting inward — back toward the Heart, where the Spirit lives. Many women notice this as a shift in intuition. A deepening. A pull toward creativity, clarity, or the parts of themselves they set aside for years.
The hot flashes, the insomnia, the emotional swings — those aren't random. They're reflections of a body working hard to rebalance itself. And there are tools that help.
On May 28th, Jana Kadovitz, LAc and I are hosting an intimate 2-hour evening workshop at Collective Wellness to walk you through exactly that — what this transition is, why your body is doing it, and what you can do to move through it with more ease.
Not a decline. A rebirth.

You're invited — Menopause: The Second Spring (May 28) - https://mailchi.mp/b4f0935d1044/youre-invited-menopause-the-second-spring-may-28

Wednesday May 28th I'm co-hosting something I've wanted to do for a long time.
My friend and colleague Jana Kadovitz, acupuncturist, and I are bringing together a small group of women for an evening all about menopause — the Second Spring.
We'll talk honestly about what's happening in your body from both Eastern and Western perspectives, share practical tips for symptoms you may be experiencing, move together with Qigong, and close with a guided sound bath meditation.
15 spots. $40. Sacred Pines Room at Collective Wellness of Summerville.
If this is your season, I'd love to see you there.

Congratulations my friend!

Jessica with the ADVYON team had an incredible time attending the United Way Women United event! It was a powerful afternoon surrounded by leaders dedicated to making a real impact in our community.

We were especially proud to be there to support Jan Hursey with Second Chance Thrift Shop. Jan was a well-deserved nominee, and seeing her work recognized was a highlight for our team. We are so grateful for our partnership with Second Chance and the opportunity to support their life-changing mission.

At ADVYON, the "Human Element" isn't just about tech—it’s about showing up for the people and organizations that make the Lowcountry a better place for everyone. 🤝✨

Congratulations to Jan and all the amazing nominees!

What if feeling calm wasn't something you had to chase — but something your body already knows how to find?
The vagus nerve is your nervous system's reset switch. Qigong — through breath, movement, and stillness — is one of the most effective ways to activate it.
Less cortisol. More Qi. More you.

What a great event. Jana has a gift for sound healing. Always great to work with her and Holistic Institute of Wellness

Looking forward to our next event Second Spring: A Chinese Medicine Perspective on Menopause on May 28.

When did you last do something just for you?

Caregiving is one of the most generous things a person can do — and one of the most depleting. Your body is keeping score, and it deserves a morning to exhale.

This Saturday, Jacki and Jana are holding space for caregivers at Collective Wellness of Summerville. We’ll move through Qigong together, then settle into a guided meditation and sound bath — no experience needed, just a willingness to show up for yourself.
