Our Christmas card forever.

Just last week, as I was staring down the barrel of an epic business , a dear friend caught me with some incredible . ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
“The healing that you bring to the world is YOU. Really sink into the effect you have and have had on so many people in this . You truly are a and nothing on this earth can stop you from being that, from doing that. Not in this lifetime anyways.” ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
I’ve glued those words all over my person as an to my many moments of imposter syndrome, followed by laughing and crying at how hard it is to run a healthcare business on the heels of a pandemic, with a recession in the wings.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

On the heels of I'm excited to announce that the final proofing of our book is well underway and will have a book to be purchased in the VERY near future. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The rollercoaster of becoming a published is a trip! ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
If this image of us doesn't represent how excited we are to finally see Yin Yang Reset come to fruition I'm not sure what does. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Blood, sweat and tears — oh so many tears! Second guessing yourself, imposter syndrome, working 24/7, and a whole cacophony of little voices shouting between your ears, telling you 10 million things all at once.​​​​​​​​

It's sweater weather and SOUP season. Here's my families must have bone broth recipe for the fall and winter.

A big part of fall and metal energy is grief.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
is not only about loss, it’s also about . The lungs, gosh, what powerful organs they are, delicate as all get-out and yet responsible for so much, from communicating with the heart to nourishing our blood. And, in TCM, they are directly linked to our digestion.​​​​​​​​

Going into the long weekend and savoring every experience and memory we made this summer. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Are you ready for action? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
'cause tomorrow is September 😎 ​​​​​​​​
How often do you think you'll hear... "I can't believe summer is over already" 🤣

Harnessing every last bit of summer.

Joy is the absolute opposite of irritability and anger! Make your heart your primary focus in the summer by finding joy in as many moments as you can. Your heart needs joy. ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
For me, joy comes quickly when I’m crushing shells on a beach on one of BC’s coastal waterfronts. ​​​​​​​​

Fun facts.... ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
One of my favourite books:​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
This book taught me to recognize when I was reaching my upper limits and break through them, making resistance a thing of the past. Plus, the way he talks about time, oh, it’s so good. I no longer feel like there isn’t enough time to get done what needs to be done.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​

Striking balance is not something I do with grace, but I'm always trying.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In case you're new here, let me loop you in on who I am in short.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m an acupuncturist and founder of The Village Community Acupuncture Clinic in Vancouver, BC (). I’m also a dedicated hockey mom, multi-passionate entrepreneur, and co-author of a book that is soon to be released.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Naturally with this many balls in the air, I seek balance but recognize the effort involved.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Sometimes I need my own messages to keep me moving forward.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1 year ago something was put in motion that moved me into my power.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I took over the clinic as sole proprietor of , shifted my goals for what I needed to happen and simultaneously felt a need to step out from behind all the businesses I’ve been supporting and get myself out there.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have amassed so much knowledge in my years of practice that it’s about time I have a place to put them all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The catalyst behind this big leap? Grief.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Losing my brother the day before my birthday in January 2022. But thanks to him this beautiful project has come to light.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Buckle up, we’re gonna have some fun!
