Educator Yvonne Wolf gives a brief background on the ancient practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine, including three main principles of its purpose. She will relate this ancient study to Western traditions and introduce 5 common roots and herbs that are meaningful and useful in Chinese Traditional Medicine such as ginger, ginseng, and licorice. She will show samples of these common herbs and roots in their dried forms. If you have been curious but not quite confident about trying Chinese herbal medicine, this presentation will be the first step towards an alternative path to health.
Intercultural consultant and educator Yvonne Wolf specializes in bringing an element of Chinese culture to a relatable understanding. She has given talks at libraries, museums, and community centers. Yvonne’s thoughtful consideration serves to enrich her entertaining presentations.
Yvonne generously shares the knowledge and skills she has gained from her experiences living in four different countries where she became fluent in three languages: Chinese (Mandarin), English, and Danish. She worked as a bilingual analyst in a Japanese global corporation in Denmark and served as a global language trainer in Japan. She is also well traveled in the States and Canada. She has ten years’ experience working as an organizational consultant in Los Angeles mediating cross cultural misunderstandings. She continues her work in the Greater Chicago area.
