A MEMBERSHIP FROM IYASU INSTITUTE & CLINIC
Second Nature
Biology, behavior, and botanical care for the life you're ready to change.
For the person who feels depleted by life.
Your health feels off. Your relationships leave you drained. You keep finding yourself in familiar situations, wondering how you ended up here again.
You want to understand what's happening in your body, recognize your part in recurring patterns, and have practical support to do something differently.
That's not a flaw in you. It's a pattern your body learned to keep you safe, and over time, it became second nature.
Your body and your patterns are telling the same story.
Second Nature brings biology, behavior, and botanical care into the same room, so you can care for your body and build more capacity for awareness, connection, joy, and choice.
01 / Biology
See how a survival pattern lives in your nervous system, hormones, and gut, so the change you're making becomes something you can feel and track.
02 / Behavior
Name the patterns you return to, in love, work, and family, and practice choosing differently with people who understand.
03 / Botanical Care
Each cycle, a plant ally arrives at your door, chosen to support the pattern you're working with, along with a recipe and a simple ritual to keep it close.
Built for the person who’s already tired.
Every four weeks, the membership moves through one gentle cycle. Teachings are short enough to listen to on a walk. Nothing piles up, and the fourth week asks nothing of you at all.
THE RHYTHM
WEEK ONE
Notice
Meet the month's pattern and its plant ally in an opening circle and a short teaching on the biology beneath it.
WEEK TWO
Nourish
Care for the body first. Your plant ally arrives, along with its ritual and a nervous-system practice you can feel.
WEEK THREE
Rest
A fallow week. Nothing is due. Rest is part of the work, not a way of falling behind.
WEEK FOUR
Witness
Gather in a small integration circle to speak honestly about what's shifting, and be heard.

Everything in The Membership
Two private sessions with Cicely each cycle, a place to land and unpack the deeper work the circles and teachings stir up
Personalized/bespoke formulation as your terrain shifts
Founding members keep their rate for as long as they stay. Your first month is collected at signup, and your Foundation Session is scheduled right after. The 1:1 tier is limited to 11 members so every person is held well.
Community Seats
A few seats each season are held at a reduced rate for those who need them. To request one, email soul@iyasumed.com and share a little about where you are and what you're hoping to change.
Patterns don't shift in four weeks. So we begin with three months.
Second Nature brings biology, behavior, and botanical care into the same room, so you can care for your body and build more capacity for awareness, connection, joy, and choice.
HOW IT BEGINS

Your Foundation Session
Included with your membership. We map your terrain and your pattern together, so you know where you're starting and what we're tending first.
02 /
Your First Three Months
Three full cycles to settle into the rhythm. This commitment protects you from leaving just before things begin to turn.
03 /
Then, Month to Month
Stay as long as the work serves you, with your founding rate held.
YOUR GUIDE
Cicely Everson, MH, CFMP
Master Clinical Herbalist, Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and founder of Pattern Medicine. Cicely's work brings the biochemistry of healing and human behavior together with the plants.
I’m so excited to travel this path with you, friend. One thing I know for sure is that when we’re really ready to change our lives, to do the deep work, it requires us to acknowledge the interconnected parts of ourselves. A healthy body does not thrive alone; it asks the mind and spirit to become well too. This experience will help you shift into a higher timeline and create a life full of possibility, wholeness, and ease.

Questions
-
Yes. That's who this is built for. Teachings are short, nothing is required between circles, and every fourth week is rest.
-
No. Second Nature is clinical herbalism and functional, pattern-based care. It works well alongside therapy and medical care, and it doesn't replace either.
-
Not at all. Each plant ally arrives with everything you need: what it is, why it was chosen for this pattern, and how to use it simply.
-
Patterns that took years to form need time to loosen. Three months gives your body and your relationships room to show you what's changing.
-
Circles and teachings are virtual. In person teachings may become available in the near future.
-
Each cycle, your plant ally arrives as a TAO + SALOMA botanical formula, along with its recipe and ritual. Members also receive special pricing on the full line, and 1:1 members receive a personalized formulation.
Let the new way become second nature.
Your Foundation Session is included. Begin there, and we'll take it from there, together.
Create a beautifully regulated body, and a life it wants to live in.
