Hi, I’m Artemisia Obi—I'm glad you’re here and interested in what brings you.

To me, the “inner village” represents the many aspects of our inner lives—our body, mind, and emotions—that work together to shape our health and well-being In our sessions, I’ll assess patterns and disharmonies in your health, design a personalized plan, and help you learn how to support yourself using Chinese medicine.

There are many branches of Chinese medicine, and I primarily focus on herbal medicine and nutrition, integrating knowledge of both Chinese and Western herbs. Regardless of where a plant grows, I work within the Chinese medicine framework of uses and indications. My background in psychological research also informs how I work with each person as a whole.

While many wellness spaces draw on new age spirituality, I take a different approach. My approach stays close to the classical foundations of Chinese medicine, without modern spiritual fusions or new age practices.

I welcome a broad range of health concerns, though I most often support people navigating digestive issues and menstrual cycle irregularities. You can learn more about my background here, and we can stay connected through my weekly newsletter.

We may work to deepen our self-cultivation practices. It is also still very important to be able to enjoy life within the health scaffolding we build for ourselves.
