❄️ Winter is here, and with it comes the yin energy of the season. This is a time of introspection and rest, where we turn inward to recharge and rebuild our energy for the coming year. ❄️

At the modern acupuncturist and , we understand the importance of aligning our bodies with the natural rhythms of the seasons.

⛄️ During the winter months, we focus on treatments that support the kidneys and bladder, as these organs are associated with the water element and yin energy. By addressing imbalances in these areas, we can help our patients feel more grounded, centered, and at peace during the colder months.

⛄️Some of the benefits of acupuncture during the winter include improved immunity, reduced stress and anxiety, and increased energy levels.

⛄️By stimulating specific acupuncture points, we can help the body release toxins, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. This can lead to a stronger immune system, better sleep, and a greater sense of well-being overall.

🤎 If you're feeling run down, anxious, or just need a little boost this winter, we invite you to visit our clinic and experience the healing power of acupuncture, massage therapy or aesthetics - looking at you organic facial. Our team of experienced practitioners will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. ❄️

I feel too ignorant to speak on the conflict, but strong enough to support human life.

Let’s raise money together, for each other ❤️

Patient care is my number one priority. I feel unbelievably lucky I’ve found this medicine, and I feel the weight to represent it in the best possible light. Every person who I treat I want to feel listened to, cared for, and to feel a shift after every session. Healing can take time, it can be a journey, and while I have these very high expectations I know for some, that shift may not come for a few sessions in. Know that I’m your biggest advocate, I think about different treatment approaches and research different avenues to tap into the neurofunctional pathways to achieve healing from both a physiological perspective, and energetic. I will always be striving to be the best at what I do, not out of ego, but out of a drive to help you holistically in every possible way. Thank you for being here, for listening, and entrusting me with your care. ❤️

Let’s talk about microneedling 🌟

Why are my treatments different from others?

💫 medical grade products
🌟full root acupuncture session to heal from the inside out
💥 Exosomes used in every treatment to get the most from microneedling (turns on cell signaling to BOOST collagen/ elastin/ and HA production)

I LOVE making people feel good- but it’s hard to feel good when your in pain or have other lingering symptoms. That’s why I always include an acupuncture or motor point treatment before microneedling. We need the body to match how amazing your skin will feel.

Microneedling 🌟

I love how we can see the improvement of the integrity of the skin. We are building strong healthy collagen rich skin 💪.

I love complex cases, this woman reported little to no saliva production for over 6 months (and her health was suffering from it including 2 rotten teeth). I released muscles associated with salivary glands, and brought blood flow with stim. Within 6 treatments she feels “healed” and is producing salvia once more. I’m so happy for her. 🌟

Missing a good nights sleep? 😴

I’ve had quite a few insomnia cases recently. In Chinese medicine increased heat can lead to anxiety and a racing mind. In addition to using good sleep hygiene, meditation, and a cool dark space, these are my other favorite recommendations:

😴 Remember to eat cooling foods like watermelon and mint. Lately I’ve been combining them with goat/sheep feta and some arugula for a killer salad.

💤 My favorite herb for sleep is Mediherb valerian complex as it combines valerian root with passion flower which is calming to a racing mind for, big surprise, its cooling properties.

🛌 Lastly, If I’m really struggling ill add a melatonin tincture combined with herbals for sleep. I use melatonin sparingly as we don’t want our body to slow its own production. Only use it medicinally (for its anti inflammatory properties) and for those really tough nights.

🙋🏽‍♀️ have you been having trouble sleeping in this heat?

Let’s demystify a few things. 🔮

☝🏽Acupuncture isn’t magic. Chemical reactions occur in your body when the skin is pierced.

✌🏽Dry needling is acupuncture.

🤟🏾Some acupuncturists specialize in it while some do not, so ask your practitioner.

👌Dry needling (DN) not only relaxes tight tissue by triggering the motor point of the muscle (or trigger point) to release, but also has analgesic effects via multiple pathways. Want to get nerdy- according to this study it aroused the hypothalamic- pituitary - adrenal axis by provoking immune cells and promoting the supraoptic nucleus.

🤚🏼You don’t have to live in chronic pain. We must work to collaboratively to show doctors (MDs) that there are better alternatives to these band-aide and harmful medications. If you get relief from acupuncture, PLEASE let your doctor know. They more they hear about it, eventually they’ll have to listen.

It if office soaking up sunshine and summer nights. Hope everyone is having a beautiful start to summer. ☀️

After just THREE treatments we notice:

✔️smaller pores
✔️decreased fine lines
✔️more even skin texture

Why? My microneedling technique and use of the HIGHEST grade stem cells fuse together to give you the best possible outcome.

Happy Mother’s Day! What a beautiful difficult profound ride it is. To all the mamas, the women who want to be mamas, the animal mamas and the mamas who’ve lost; I hope you find time today to fill up your cup, to reflect, to enjoy.

My journey to motherhood wasn’t easy, it involved loss, then took time to become pregnant. I knew motherhood was what I wanted, and so grateful my girls found me. It’s what I want for others who seek it, through my journey it’s given me greater understanding and empathy for my patients journey, and I’m so grateful to be a part of it.

Thinking of all you mamas today, and soon to be mamas. Enjoy your day. 💗With this day difficult emotions may rise for some mamas, as with for those who wanted to become pregnant but it didn’t happen, your also in my thoughts. 🌻

The power of clean eating and supplements. I had awful eczema - for 6 MONTHS (I didn’t wear a ring during that time). It would flare on its own- usually from wheat and alcohol- or “damp heat” as we’d say in Chinese medicine. When I tried removing these things it would help, but not resolve. UNTIL I followed a protocol. Within a week it was improved, within two weeks it was GONE. GONE. This rash would keep me up some nights from the itch and discomfort (thank goodness for cbd clinic ointment), mostly though, I was frustrated I wasn’t treating it properly. I needed the correct supplement support. This is what I was missing. Anyway, I just wanted to throw that out there in case someone is dealing with a chronic condition and not seeing results. is bringing on an awesome holistic nutritionist who knows standard process protocols inside and out. I love these products because they’re clean and work. But mostly, I love seeing that the body CAN HEAL. It wants to heal. There’s hope for your chronic condition. IT CAN improve. Grateful for functional medicine today and everyday. 💗

💊 I’m purposely not sharing my protocol, bc everyone is an individual- what worked for me, may not work for you. I think that’s where doctor Google trips people up. Just see someone well versed in herbs. 🤗

I can’t really think of anything more healing for a Achilles’ tendon injury, a grounding treatment, or a planter fascia treatment (although some needles would go in that heel 😬).

So calming. Grounding. And mostly importantly, healing. Who doesn’t need that on a Friday? 🙋🏽‍♀️

Acupuncture. You powerful little needle you.

As an acupuncturist I think many of us are drawn to the medicine as it’s the perfect fusion of Eastern medicine, now understood from a western physiology. So that’s to say, us spiritual energetics, and physio nerds. The perfect marriage. From a western perspective acupuncture works by harnessing the body’s healing capabilities. What does that mean? Well, when you prick the skin a few things happen, endorphins are released, blood rushes to the site- white blood cells are amped up to heal the micro trauma, and enzymatic reactions occur pulling the body back to a state of homeostasis. The really cool thing is eastern medicine understood all this. They just didn’t have the fancy terms. They called it qi, moving stagnation and opening the river way. It’s the most beautiful observational medicine I’ve ever met- brilliantly balancing the body’s entire body- hormones regulated, pain becomes under control, cortisol levels dip (wonder why you get that amazing acu-nap?!) and so much more like eye sight improvement, PTSD managed, and migraines disappear. It really can heal anything- because YOUR body wants to heal. YOUR body IS amazing. YOU just have to give it the right tools and get out of its way. What does that mean? What I prescribe to all my patients. Homework:
✔️organic Whole Foods and meats
✔️heat, always
✔️ manage stress
And let the acupuncture and your body do the rest 🌟
