Does any of this sound familiar?
You take care of everyone around you. But lately something feels off — your energy isn't what it was, you're not sleeping well, your body keeps sending signals you don't quite know how to read.
You feel tired even after a full night's sleep
Your emotions feel harder to manage at certain times of year
You have niggling health issues that never quite resolve
You've tried things that help temporarily, but nothing that sticks
You want to understand your body — not just manage symptoms
You sense that your physical and emotional health are connected, but you're not sure how
You're not broken. Your body is communicating with you. You just need the tools to listen.
“If you’re thinking about doing this course, I would say: invest in yourself! It offers a powerful understanding of the connection between your body and the Chinese medicine elements, along with incredibly deep yet simple tools to support self-awareness, personal responsibility, and self-care. The insights and practices can help you better understand yourself, create positive change, and support your overall wellbeing. Taught by Fiona, who has a depth of knowledge through many many years of doing this work, in a beautifully light hearted and energetic way.” — Jo
The body holds incredible wisdom — when we learn how to listen, healing becomes possible
Autumn. Earth Element. New Moon. Come home to yourself.
This October cohort is timed deliberately. We begin just before the new moon, the perfect energetic moment for new beginnings and we open with Earth element, the element of early autumn itself: harvest, nourishment, gathering in before the darker months.
"I have had so many aha moments learning about each element and the connection with my emotions and physical body. It felt reassuring that there is a reason behind my senses. I have shifted and cleared so much energy and emotions." — Jo
The Five Element Self-Care Programme is a 6-week live online journey through one of the most sophisticated systems ever developed for understanding human health — Chinese Medicine's Five Elements.
Each week we explore one element and what it means for your physical health, your emotional patterns and your energy through the seasons of life. This is not theory — every session is practical and embodied. You'll leave with tools you can use that same day. By the end of six weeks you'll understand your own body in a way most people never do, and you'll have a personal toolkit to support yourself for life.
"I would highly recommend joining this course. Fiona is exceptionally knowledgeable and has a passion to share that knowledge in an engaging and supportive learning environment. It's very accessible online, and the workbooks are a great tool for enabling you to incorporate your new insights into your life." — Tracy
Weekly breakdown
What we'll explore together
WEEK 1 — 8 October
🌾 Introduction to Chinese Medicine & Earth Element — Qi, Yin/Yang and the Five Element system explained, then into Earth element: nourishment & digestion, stomach & spleen meridians, how you receive care, food and support.
WEEK 2 — 15 October
🤍 Metal — Breath, grief & immunity. Lung and large intestine meridians — letting go and creating space for what matters.
WEEK 3 — 22 October
💧 Water — Resilience & deep restoration. Kidney and bladder meridians — accessing your deepest reserves and finding stillness.
WEEK 4 — 29 October
🌿 Wood — Flexibility, frustration & liver/gallbladder energy — how to move with life rather than against it.
— Break, 5 November (Bonfire Night) —
WEEK 5 — 12 November
🔥 Fire — Joy, burnout & heart regulation. Heart, Small intestine, Heart Protector and Triple Heater meridians — reconnecting with warmth and authentic expression.
WEEK 6 — 19 November
✨ Integration — Bringing all five elements together into your own personal map for life.
By the end of the programme you'll be able to identify which element is your primary area of imbalance — and know exactly what to do to support your health and mental wellbeing through it.
"I feel I have been able to recognise how the world around us can have an impact, such as the seasons or time of day, and learning to work with that — so instead of feeling lazy when you feel the afternoon slump, recognising that is related to the bladder, listening to your body." — Tracy

‘Getting on with life as we do, we tend to ignore the most important element of it ..... ourselves. Over six weeks I learned that, what I had accepted for years as "That's just how I am", was in fact my body and emotions telling me "Yep, but you are out of balance kiddo! Fiona shared practices and information on how to rebalance each aspect of the elements out of balance, which I now include in my daily life. I loved the Makaho stretches, my flexibility has improved, and my Spinal Therapist has noticed the changes in my body. Qi Gong in the stillness of an early morning with birdsong ... just starts the day on a great note and works towards the balance of Mind, Body and Soul." Sharon

"Whether you just have a curiosity or a real passion to learn about the 5 elements, this course gives you a great place to begin and grow." — Ruth
“From the outset I was warmly welcomed into a supportive environment among like-minded participants. Fiona’s depth of knowledge, skill and expertise, paired with her friendly, calm and inclusive teaching style, created a space where all could feel comfortable to take part and develop new skills at their own pace. Her thoughtful balance of explanation, demonstration and hands-on practice made the experience both structured and extremely enjoyable. The small group size allowed for meaningful interaction — with lots of joyful laughter —and plenty of individual attention. I would happily attend another of Fiona’s events and confidently recommend her to others.” Sarah
About Fiona
I've been practising holistic bodywork and energy medicine for over 26 years — in private practice and within the NHS at the Royal Berkshire Hospital's Oasis Staff Wellbeing Centre. I'm a registered Shiatsu practitioner and Systematic Kinesiologist with additional training in Vibrational Sound Healing and Energy Medicine.
I created this programme because I've seen how transformative it is when people understand the language their body is speaking. The Five Elements are not abstract theory. They are a map of human experience that I use every single day in my clinic.
This is grassroots healing at its truest — accessible, embodied and guided by the belief that real wellbeing doesn't begin in a clinic or a bottle. It begins with you.
Questions & Answers
Do I need any previous experience?
None at all. Just curiosity and a willingness to engage with your own body.
Why does the programme start with Earth instead of Wood?
This cohort runs through autumn, so we follow the natural seasonal cycle — Earth into Metal into Water into Wood and Fire. The elements taught in relationship with the actual living seasons.
When do the live sessions take place?
Thursday evenings 7pm-8.30/9pm, starting 8 October 2026. Sessions are recorded so you won't miss out if something comes up.
Is there a break during the programme?
Yes — we pause on 5 November (Bonfire Night), resuming 12 November. A natural one-week pause before we move into Fire and bring it all together.
What do I need to participate?
A device with internet access, a comfortable space to move gently, and your workbook materials sent ahead of each session. A 5-minute pre-course tech check is offered to make sure you're all set for Thursday evenings.
Will this programme run again?
Yes, but pricing increases with each cohort as the programme develops. This is one of the best times to join.
Your body has been waiting for you to listen.
