Beyond Survival:

understanding

the humanity

behind illness

Many of the patients who struggle most are carrying stories that cannot be understood through symptoms alone. Eight months with Dr. Yvonne Farrell, for acupuncturists working with chronic stress, trauma, adversity, and complex histories.

There comes a point in practice

More information isn't the answer.

You've studied the channels.
You've learned the protocols.
You've treated thousands of patients.
And yet some cases still leave you wondering why certain patients improve, only to relapse when life becomes difficult again.
You've treated a patient successfully, only to watch symptoms return when life becomes stressful again.
You have patients who improve around the edges, but never fully stabilize.
You've learned countless techniques, yet certain cases still feel confusing or incomplete.
You sometimes wonder if you're missing something important.
You want a framework for complexity - not another protocol to memorize.
This is not another technique course

This is a different way of seeing.

 A way of understanding what may be happening beneath the symptoms.
 A way of making sense of complexity.
 A way of practicing with greater confidence, clarity, and compassion.

1
The Physiology of Survival
How chronic stress, adversity, and survival responses shape the body over time.
2
The Humanity Behind Symptoms
Looking beyond diagnosis to the lived experiences influencing health and healing.

Why some patients improve, relapse, plateau, or present outside conventional frameworks.
Office-hour Q&As
4
The Channel Systems
Applying classical Chinese medicine concepts in ways that support modern practice.
5
The Humanity Behind Symptoms
Confidence to recognize patterns you may have previously overlooked.
Live Sunday classes
6
Clinical Integration
Bringing these concepts into treatment planning, patient conversations, and daily practice.
Office-hour Q&As
Track 1 — Wei Qi
Protection, adaptation, and the body's first response to challenge
The Sinew channels treat far more than musculoskeletal complaints. As Wei Qi vessels, they reflect how you hold yourself in the world. You'll learn to recognize pathology in this system and build treatments that ease pain, restore function, and support a healthy demeanor — working with posture, gait, body memory, reactivity, pervasive moods, and defensive armoring.
Track 2 — Ying Qi
Relationship, connection, and the stories carried within the body
Luo Collaterals: how blood creates latency when life overwhelms the pericardium's ability to protect the heart. Primary Channels: the mental-emotional functions, point combinations, and Zangfu treatments built with deeper intent. Earth School: Li Dong Yuan's treatise on Spleen and Stomach, Yin Fire, and why the middle jiao sits at the root of much chronic disease.
Track 3 — Yuan Qi
Deep constitutional patterns and adaptive responses
The Divergent meridians create latency for survival when the Primary channels can't, negotiating the relationship between Self and Other. Across three classes: the six confluences and disease progression, zonal theory, palpation of superficial structure, essential points, releasing or maintaining latency, and Divergent-pattern conditions such as allergies and autoimmune disease.
Track 4 — Jing (8 Extras)
Core patterns, developmental influences, and long-term healing 
The only pre-natal vessels in the body, the 8 Extraordinary Vessels hold our life's curriculum. Chong Mai / Dai Mai, Ren Mai / Du Mai, Wei Mai, and Qiao Mai — identity and lineage, constitutional Yin and Yang, the emotions of transition, and how we take up space in the present moment.
What practitioners say
“Yvonne is a superior teacher, structuring even difficult concepts into easy to digest ideas. She bridges traditional and modern perspectives, always including the psycho-emotional aspect of the pathology.”
Ellen E. · Acupuncturist
“I've been mentoring with Yvonne Farrell since 2022. I'll take any course she offers.”
Jamie L. · L.Ac.
“I always love learning about the 8 Extras with Yvonne. She always provides such helpful language and framework for understanding and utilizing these vessels in practice.”
Kerry G. · LAc, MAOM, SPN
“Fantastic opportunity to study live with Dr. Farrell. Applied the Sacred Triangles in treatment yesterday - it brought elements of her book forward again for me to consider in practice.”
