Hi, I’m Tristan from Roar Fertility. I’ve been helping couples have healthy babies for over a decade. I guess you could say my journey into Chinese medicine started when I was just a kid. The first time that I got stung by a stinging nettle. There was somebody I don’t recall now if it was my dad or a neighborhood kid handed me a piece of Bracken fern and told me that, if I put the SAP of the bracken fern onto the stinging nettle sting it would take away the sting. That was really the moment that my interest in plants and their healing abilities begin. After I started my Chinese medicine practice it wouldn’t actually be until I started working with my mentor Joran Seidman that the true depth of what Chinese medicine had to offer would be revealed to me. once I started working with Joran, I understood a completely different method of working with the body and the body in its environment.
Suddenly, Patterns and Rhythms of nature all of a sudden had a completely different meaning and the rhythms of of life and how we interact with those suddenly started to make sense. It was a kind of moment that I started to feel like I had become unlost without even actually knowing I had been lost and these kinds of principles they’re not really a mystery or something that’s veiled in secrecy, there’s something that’s available to all of us but sometimes we need somebody to help guide us toward that clarity. Since learning these principles, I now live life in a more confident and calm way than I ever could before and I’m I’m not a master at this. I still get sucked into overwhelm and have stressful days. The difference is that now I’m able to notice it more quickly and correct what’s going on and that’s been the greatest gift of Chinese medicine and that’s the gift that I try to pass on to each and every one of my patients.
These principles become even more important when we’re looking at fertility because we’re talking about the ultimate sacrifice that a woman gives the sacrifice of giving some of her life to another human being, to her child, as a society, as family, as friends we’ve lost sight of taking care of ourselves in order to pass on the healthiest life to our next generation. I inspired every day by the families who step up and make the transformations in order to give that health to their babies. That’s what makes all of this worthwhile and that’s why I will continue to advocate every day for this medicine. It really does take a village to raise a healthy family and that’s why Rohr is here. I hope that we can welcome you into our tribe soon.
