What is Elemental Medicine?

I can tell you what elemental medicine is. And, I’d like you to feel it for yourself. Click play for a compilation of the same small lake at different times throughout the year. Just as the cycles of the day, month, season, are always changing and always the same, so are we. There’s always beauty to be found.
Music by Alix Thorpe, Offer to the Water

Elemental medicine is how we weave the five elements of Chinese medicine and the five seasons into the landscape of ourselves. It’s how we open and deepen into the hidden places and mysteries of us. The more we understand how our senses our interacting with us the whole time, and by settling our nervous system, we can deepen into the make-up of our body. The result? We become more resonant, more coherent, more resilient – more ourselves.

...and Who am I?

Deeply intuitive, highly sensitive, very experienced. Forever learning. I love the interaction between our energy body and our physical body, our senses and our field, and the magic of the sweet spot of in between where we come alive, and we access more of the truth of who we are.

I find myself in the landscape, from the smallest flower to the brightest leaf, to the most grand landscape. As without, so within. As above, so below. I’m equally in awe of your internal ecology as the world around us.

More about me

I’d love for you to see this for yourself. Join me on one of my courses, and discover how your inner landscape can bring coherence to your outer life.

Trudy, Dreaming your DNA

When I began this course, I knew very little about the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, but something in me was called to say yes — and I’m so glad I listened to that instinct.
From the very beginning, ChaNan held the space with such wisdom, sensitivity, and creativity. Her knowledge is deep, but what truly stood out was how eloquently and caringly she wove it into every session, making even the most complex concepts feel alive and accessible.

The monthly one-to-one sessions were a profound addition — a chance to reflect, and give voice to my own process. This course is far more than just information; it’s a rich and nourishing field of exploration, held with great care and insight.

Its reach is beautifully global, and the shared experience with fellow participants around the world only deepened its impact. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone feeling the call — it’s a journey I will always be grateful for.

As someone freshly navigating their sensitivity and deep childhood trauma and how it holds itself in my body and mind, Reclaiming Sensitivity has been so valuable. ChaNan has curated the course in a way that makes you and those scared and anxious parts of yourself feel safe and held — and empowered when all too often we are taught to resent them. Thank you, ChaNan, for these wonderful resources that are helping me find my way in settling and finding calm and safety in the face of intense overwhelm.

What a juicy journey! ChaNan offers space on a beautifully crafted raft - of images, words, wisdom, guided visualisations and practices - to navigate deep into the wild mysteries of our inner waters and ancestral energy pathways.

The course is perfectly named Dreaming Your DNA - Opening to Your Potential. Over the past 9 months I have begun to feel and recognise how my inherited and acquired patterns and behaviours have kept me safe, teaching me how to survive life's challenges, but also limited how I 'show up' in the world.

The combination of group process and individual sessions with ChaNan has facilitated a deep process of change in me that has been liberating, exhilarating and terrifying at times, best described in the words of Tom Robbins:

"All right. Now we're cooking, now we're dressing this alligator in gold lame." From Still Life With Woodpecker"

THANK YOU, Chanan, for holding spaces where I have found both my alligators and my gold lame.

"I signed up for the Extraordinary Meridians course because I have always felt there is more to life than was meeting my eye and through my work have come to know these extraordinary ancestral meridians as vessels that can make powerful changes wherever change is needed. I also knew that ChaNan is a gifted dream weaver and can hold a magical dream space in person or on line, while at the same time keeping in touch with the material world, making her group sessions unquestionably safe.

During the past 9 months we have been on a deep dive as promised, at moments the depth has touched valuable truths about myself, and my personal sessions with ChaNan have brought profound and subtle healing. Sometimes I felt that it was going too fast, the amount of information streaming in was beyond me, but at the end of this series I realise how much has changed in me, I am more at peace with myself and the things that matter the most to me, less suffering of anxiety and grief, more in touch with a peaceful heart. The information ChaNan shared is extraordinarily interesting and makes so much sense of my life experience, but the fact that I can't retain and recall it all doesn't seem to matter. So letting go of the need to control through understanding is another healing for me. My trust has grown.

I want to know more, and although my experience has felt very deep at times, looking back I feel I have only just skimmed the surface of what is available. So I am very much looking forward to the next series, there is a knowing that for me these meridians hold the keys to many of life's conundrums, that they sit within us as a precious offering and that now is the right time to receive these gifts.

"The experience thus far has been profound, exciting and revealing. The course brings clearing, clarity and fresh perspectives on living. The 8 Extraordinary Vessels is a knowledge that I was not aware of and it is contributing to my life in such a positive way, bringing change that I have wanted, deepening my relationship to self, my work and living life as a whole. Being within an international group of participants has also enriched the experience. ChaNan is a wonderful teacher, guide and friend: her knowledge, presence and humanness offer a safe place for our refreshed inner selves to be revealed and acknowledged."

Kirstyn McIver, Llanidloes UK

The deep Dive into Dreaming your DNA - Ancestral Meridians has been such a lifeline for me. ChaNan is a maestro at holding a circle of sacred space. She has an innate way of knowing what needs to happen within the moment, bringing expertise and authentic knowledge to this ancient material.
I feel the course has expanded, supported and encouraged me. The container of this work is held so beautifully by ChaNan she has danced, dreamed and researched the material with joy and fascination in order to share with grace, compassion and exceptional brilliance.

The one to one sessions have been invaluable, they have helped to intergrate the work into my own learning and personal growth.

Her nature and exquisite way of being in the world is a true gem - an asset to our healing culture. She works in our highest good and her guidance offers an invitation to understand more. I know I am in safe hands.

She brings her way which is beautiful to watch and to be held by. I encourage anybody, whether they work with meridians or not to take up the opportunity to work with her, exploring the possibilities in our humaness with the delights of the magical Extraordinary Ancestral Vessels, and thier mysteries. Thank you from a deep place of gratitude and honouring of your energy and hard work in bringing such a precious and deeply thought out course that is offered so tenderly and enthusiastically to the world.

You are a very gifted and magical Medicine woman. I am very lucky to have worked with you.

The Dreaming Your DNA, Opening to your Potential course and its content communicates to the deepest aspects of my being. Slowly, I feel how it transforms me in subtle, yet profound ways. It’s like the change is happening “beneath the surface”, like the cells are re-programming themselves into something new. Something that is more me. I feel clearer, stronger, and more in contact with the magical aspects of my life.

I don’t know how ChaNan does it really. How she manages to teach and guide the group in such a warm, easy-going, yet deeply holding way. She mixes mystery and ancient knowledge with concrete practices and information that can be woven in to the modern ways of living.

I am so very thankful for this journey.
