Come on Barbie, let's get Microneedling! 💕🪄🪄🪄

It's true--Margot Robbie and other Barbie actresses received microneedling (and lots of milk thistle tea and ice ball treatments !) as part of their skincare routines while filming the movie for glowing, plump, doll-like skin.

Their weekly skincare regimens, in fact, were also very much about wellness from the inside out with an additional focus on clearing the Liver and balancing stress. A device was used by their provider called Sensate -which sounds like it does exactly what a few well placed Acupuncture needles do—affecting the vagus nerve to bring on a calm parasympathetic response.

Sounds familiar! And I 100% support and believe in this!🎀

🌻GROWTH🌻

The day before my birthday last week I came across this post that is so relatable.

As birthdays tend to lend themselves to reflection, I had been struggling with what has felt like a very challenging year.

I do regularly focus on gratitude for all the wonderful little things in my daily life(and I have so much to be thankful for!) but this year has had so many challenges-especially financial ones.

And then I saw this post- and it just hit that I was rich, successful and wealthy in all the ways that really mattered.

And beyond that I am able to create and encourage this true wealth in my patients. This reminder could not have come at a more perfect time!

So I’m now heading into my 54th year and taking these words of .e.l.e.n.m.a.r.i.e. with me! 💛

A new study confirms increased skin elasticity from 5 facial acupuncture sessions. Yes please! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏽🙋🏽‍♂️ Come see me and my 🪄🪄🪄🪄🪄

Always a good reminder to take ~the ~time. 🤍

I’ve been slowing it down the past few years.. though perhaps I’m a little too slow these days! 😹
Well said .
~~~~~~
As I stood at the register, asking the barista about the coffee beans and where they were from, a long smile came to her face.

She had a passion for speaking about coffee origins and jumped into the education behind each option. It felt like a best friend who was sharing the deepest corner of their heart with you.

I’m a basic coffee guy: black, at home in our French press, and I use the same two blue mugs in rotation.

Today, I was in the mood for something random, something with more personality. I had two coaching calls and headed to a local cafe to get coffee.

As she steamed the milk and turned the metal rods like a transformer, she thanked me for being there.

I said, “Thank you for what?”

She said, “Thank you for taking your time.”

What she didn’t know is this was a healthy trigger for me. In last week's newsletter & with every human I’ve spoken to over the previous month, I’ve asked them all to slow down. For someone outside my usual space to recognize the intention was validation that it was working.

We bantered back & forth about the speed of this generation as a handful of people sat in the coffee shop with headphones on , face down in screens.

I ended the chat by saying,” Morgan, thank you for making my coffee today, & I hope you find time to appreciate the little things.”

And as I left, she smiled and said, “Don’t be busy.”

Sharing pieces of this interaction with you as an invitation to,

• eliminate what is unnecessary
• delegate what you can
• reorganize your systems
• get clarity on what drives you, your purpose, and how you spend time
• reconnect with your sleep routine & sleep schedule to sleep well.

This world makes everything fast, but we are the world. Let’s choose the pace that works for us.

Thank you for reading; blessings and good energy to you.

Microneedling results! 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Look at all that new collagen! 👏🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪄Results achieved with 6 sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪄This patient added 3 Cosmetic Acupuncture plus nanoneedling sessions (what I call the Nanofacial) in between her micro sessions. This is highly recommended to complement the microneedling results and plump up the epidermis(top layer) of the skin.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪄Microneedling = collagen induction. It’s a cumulative effect but the results start showing up after the first 2 sessions.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪄New collagen = lifted, lighter, smoother skin. Plus fine lines are softened. These pics show that beautifully as in the ‘after’ you see the lift and plumpness in the face, the skin texture is smoother, and the skin tone is lighter!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪄And after each session-product absorption is increased so patients are encouraged to stick to a high quality skincare protocol to enhance results.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🪄Individual results vary. Let me know if you would like more information about my microneedling packages!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

And- the Spring/wood Element is the perfect time for fresh starts and movement!

Here’s how I finally got myself to start exercising What worked was committing to the smallest goal possible — doing something that was only a hair better than doing nothing. Here’s why that surprising strategy did the trick, says author…

Spent my Saturday doing two of my favorite things: Giving Acupuncture sessions and VOTING!

Do you have puffy pollen eyes?

It’s a given in both Austin and Dallas right now. Try these acupressure points beautifully illustrated by .co. I recommend twice per day for several days for the best results. 👁👁💚Repost from .co

Spring is a great time to focus on your eye health. In TCM, spring is associated with the Liver, which channels into the eyes.�⁠
⁠
If you experience blurry vision, dry eyes, eye irritations, redness, or itchy eyes, it could be a sign of poor Liver Qi flow.⁠
⁠
Since Liver blood nourishes and moistens the eyes, here are a few acupressure points you can stimulate to restore your eyes’ brightness and support their general health.⁠
⁠
👉 LI-4 (Hegu 合谷)⁠
👉 LV-3 (Taichong 太冲)⁠
👉 8 points around the eyes⁠
⁠
Stimulate each point for at least 30 seconds, and longer if needed. You can use the tip of your YINA Gua Sha tool or your fingers. Repeat 3-5x.⁠
⁠
Do you experience any eye issues around this time of year?⁠

Why Acupuncture sessions are my favorite treatments!

How Nature Helps Us Heal A doctor explains why he prescribes time outside to his patients.

I LOVE offering healthier ideas and food swaps. Especially for Halloween! Sugar is the most inflammatory thing we consume! HTTPS://cleanplates.com/product-roundup/healthy-halloween-candy/

Healthy Halloween Candy You Can Feel Good About Be good to yourself by enjoying candy this Halloween season by choosing options with less sugar, and no artificial flavors and colors.

Her First !

I love introducing this service to patients for the first time and starting them down this wonderful path of self-care! 🎑It is almost always an existing patient who I’m treating for something else- pain, insomnia, sleep issues, digestive support, etc— and then they ask for more info on Cosmetic Acupuncture! Aka what I call the Acufacial! ✨🥰✨

An Acufacial consists of:
-face and body points
-infrared light panel
-either scalp guasha or facial wand massage(depends on the patient’s needs that day
-facial guasha can be added on for an additional fee and is complimentary with every six sessions of Cosmetic Acupuncture.

The end result: and RELAXATION! 🙌🏻✨✨And because I’m activating many smile muscles -you may just feel happier!
~~~~

A series of Cosmetic Acupuncture sessions (12-24 )is recommended for best results. It tightens muscle and skin tone in the face, softens wrinkles, improves moisture and elasticity in the skin and gives an overall ‘lift’ to the face.

Plus- adding in an hour of deep relaxation to your week has so many other benefits to your body, mind and spirit!

It’s never just ‘about the face’!

The end of what feels like the longest, heaviest week…..especially since I’m a lifelong Texan. And a woman. And it is not only OK to talk about this, we NEED to talk about this. Expressing emotions and speaking out when we don’t feel honored or respected as humans is vital to our mental health and well-being.

No better time to give myself a magical unicorn, warrior princess mini-treatment.

It brought me peace and strength and filled up my resilience cup 🏆. Acupuncture has an incredible ability to be both grounding and energizing at the same time. 🙌🏻

It’s important to know the simple things that restore your mental strength , self-compassion and inner peace. And maybe make you feel a little ✨🦄🧝‍♀️✨ !

Right now I’m encouraging all my patients to focus on their sleep, write positive notes to themselves, stay hydrated ,and commit to Acupuncture sessions 1-4x month while experiencing mental and physical burnout symptoms.

What are your favorite tried and true rituals for filling your cup when life’s complexities start draining your mental and physical reserves?

Mask on~Mask off-Mask on 🧖🏽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pro tip: An hour before you apply a facial mask-especially a detoxing clay and or charcoal combination- make sure you take a dose of your skin supporting nutrients and herbal formulas. The increased blood flow to the face will draw those supplements to the targeted area. ➡️🥰⬅️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are treating acne/maskne, a few of my favorite supplements are: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Vitamin C and Collagen-to support healthy collagen growth and repair from the inside-out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Zinc (take with food or you may feel nauseous 🤢) helps damaged skin heal and reduces acneic inflammation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅MSM(organic sulfur) Multi-functioning skin saver that supports collagen and keratin synthesis (great for hair growth too!), reduces systemic inflammation in the body, and can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Burdock root- a blood and lymphatic ‘purifier’ with antibacterial properties. Look for it in a skin blend with echinacea.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Chinese Rx herbals are extremely effective at treating skin inflammation and breakouts. I prescribe both Golden Flower and Evergreen formulas. You’ll need to see your Acupuncturist for a custom recommendation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅Fresh juice- Not a supplement, but listing anyway as fresh green veggie drinks(live enzymes) which supply detoxifying and oxygenating chlorophyll-with a little carrot added for that beta-carotene boost -are your skin’s best friend! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ll leave the post-masking topical recommendations to my natural esthetician friends! (Though I personally LOVE misting with Mei Zen Astragalus and Geranium toner and following with a CBD infused moisturizer. 😉)

Reframing Aging: Staying Young vs. Looking Young People don’t want to get older. In legends, people searched for the elixir of life and the fountain of youth, trying (and failing) to avoid the reality that time is passing. In modern times, we have a different way to slow down time – to varying levels of success. Antiaging creams, Botox, filler...

The many reasons why I Iove adding LED light therapy to Acupuncture sessions. Whether we are doing an Acufacial with facial rejuvenation points or a stress reduction/relaxation session- LED light therapy has so many benefits!

Facial Acupuncture and LED Light Therapy: The Low-Touch Treatment for Enhancing Your Acupuncture Practice This Year of the Metal Ox presents its challenges, as many acupuncturists have been forced to adjust their clinical practice regimes due to COVID-19-imposed restrictions. Telemedicine screening, elimination of the waiting room, and modified patient load with enhanced safety procedures significantly....

Healing isn’t linear.

This can’t be repeated enough. It’s about that journey. 🚙🚗🛤🚴🏼

There are usually more bumps in the road... and twists and turns to navigate at the start...so that is why I typically see a patient more frequently in the beginning. Consecutive acupuncture treatments are powerful activators! We are filling up the body’s gas tank and tuning the engine.

And those bumps and twists can pop up anywhere. But a prepared start equips your body and mind with the resilience to heal..and to keep going!

What have been some of your biggest obstacles to healing?

Spring Allergies Drying Your Eyes Out? 4 Ways To Help, From A Functional Eye Doc If spring blooms are irritating your eyes, try these tricks.

I often tell my patients with chronic anxiety- "When you get a treatment, you are allowing your body to "practice relaxing'."

Because Acupuncture can so quickly activate the parasympathetic response and boost circulation in general, it is a powerful adjunct therapy to support mental health-Whether for anxiety, depression, grief, or addiction. Powerful and gentle at the same time.

It’s true! I used to write creative posts!!😆 Happy to
come across today this as I’ve been so busy giving Cosmetic treatments I haven’t had time to post about them!
Sending Qi hugs! ✨🤗✨

⫸I have now studied and trained in 3️⃣ different styles of Cosmetic Acupuncture.
While they each have their differences, they all have similar benefits to the mind, body and face. ⫸Cosmetic treatments consist of body + facial points. They treat pain and stress, and address internal imbalances. ⫸The added benefits include softening of expression lines, relaxing facial tension, reducing inflammation & fluid storage in the face, increasing blood flow and brightness, & stimulating collagen growth & cell renewal. Which = Acuglow!✨✨ ⫸Best results are seen with 12-24 bi-weekly treatments to get started. And follow ups 1-2x month. 💆🏾‍♂️💆🏻‍♀️
