Menopause problems relieved by student’s T’ai Chi Chih practice

By: Anna Esparza

Student of Kristina Newcomer

I am fifty years old and have been having menopause problems for at least five years. For approximately 4 – 6 months I was bleeding so heavily that I was unable to go out of the house for any length of time. Let alone, exercise.

Incredible as it may sound, the day after I tried T’ai Chi Chih, I stopped bleeding and started feeling energized. I have slimmed down considerably and my skin has been clearing. Rejuvenated would best describe what T’ai Chi Chih has done for me. I actually believe that T’ai Chi Chih works as a mental, physical and spiritual tune-up.

I am grateful to my teacher, Kristina, who always shares her knowledge with her pupils. I just wish that we could meet more often.
