New Therapies from Ancient Roots
Don't miss this first-ever workshop of its kind in the Chicago area, held September 8-10, 2024 at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, Park Ridge, IL. At this game-changing training, learn from Di Huimin (Daphne), IBCLC and certified practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as she joins forces with Chicago's own, author and IBCLC Nancy Mohrbacher and special guest (Monday only), breastfeeding medicine physician Dr. Christina Smillie.
For 3 days (19.0 L-CERPs allocated by IBLCE®), Daphne will unlock for you the theory and practice of manual therapies that incorporate acupressure and TCM while Nancy and Dr. Smillie provide updates on the lactation problems these therapies resolve. These new skills will take your practice to the next level.
