Even titans in the western medical industry are beginning to value the importance of acupuncture and Chinese medicine.

The best medicine is a whole body approach where both western and eastern/more traditional modalities have their place - as each serves an invaluable purpose in our lives.

Did you know that acupuncture does all of this?

A good portion of my patients start out coming for pain, but once their pain is gone end up returning for the beneficial effect acupuncture has on their mental health, immunity and overall well-being.

Happy Halloween everyone 🎃

Hope your holiday was filled with magic & fun.

If you ate a little too much candy, come in for an appointment ❤️

Did you guys know I offer Swarovski crystal ear seeds?

The crystals are applied to specific acupuncture points on the ear and can be used for things ranging from stress to weight loss! The treatment is specific for you and your specific needs.

You can get these added on to any standard treatment for $6, or schedule them as a stand-alone ear seed appointment for $10!

DM me for more info.

Inserting acupuncture needles into the body stimulates the nervous system to release endorphins, norepinephrine and enkephalins which collectively help to induce feelings of euphoria, increase focus and decrease pain. Some of these chemicals are even more potent than morphine! So now you know what causes that “acubuzz”.

does amazing things to the body within the first few minutes of needle insertion. When was the last time you treated yourself to an appointment?

What can acupuncture do for you?

Acupuncture can be used for almost anything, but these are the top 5 things ailments patients want treatment for.

To ignore or give up on the future is to ignore or give up on yourself.

We all feel bad sometimes, it’s just part of being human. The next time you’re struggling with one of these emotions try one of these hacks to feel better fast.

If you need to use these techniques more than once a day, find an acupuncturist- we can help. Acupuncture can give you fast and lasting results to feel less stressed, mitigate feelings of anger, reduce anxiety, increase energy, and help mitigate worry and sadness. The body has amazing ways to heal itself, and sometimes just needs a helping hand (or needle) getting there.

Our thoughts are important! What we think directly influences our beliefs and actions… but not just in our behavior - even down the to chemicals our brain produces. Studies have shown when we intentionally direct our thoughts we stimulate neuroplasticity and improve brain function by 35%-75%, changing the chemical composition of our brains. So eat up that positivity and make today a great day.

Healing is a personal journey requiring strength and sacrifice. I’m always here when you’re ready for help and guidance ❤️

One of my favorite times to treat women is during pregnancy. Growing a new human is hard work, and regular acupuncture treatments help to smooth the flow of qi and blood, tonify the essence and relax the body. All of these benefits contribute to achieving a healthier/easier pregnancy and delivery ❤️

There are a group of acupuncture points that run parallel to the spine called the “back shu points”.

Most of the treatments I do incorporate both body points on the front, and also back shu points once the patient turns over like you see in this picture.

These points are most often used to treat chronic conditions, sensory organs related to the meridians, and the emotions related to the each meridian. I use the lines running closer to the outside of the body (outer shu points) every day in treatments for stress, sadness, fear, grief, anger, etc.

For extra oomph sometimes I will also burn moxa on these points once I remove the needles 🔥 🌿

Happy Mother’s Day to all the beautiful mama’s out there ❤️

Tonight is the strawberry super moon! Super moons are special because they are at the point in their orbit when they are closest to earth, making their energy extra powerful 🌚

So what are some ways you can not only celebrate this super celestial event, but also harness some of that energy for yourself? Try any (or all!) of these full moon rituals:

🌙 Charge your crystals or jewelry in the light of the full moon. Take any special crystals or gemstones and let them absorb the powerful energy under the light of the full moon for an hour or more (just make sure to take them in before sunrise). Doing this rids them of any unwanted negative energy, and fills them with healthier, positive energy

🌙 Try a manifesting ritual - super moons signify great abundance, and for this reason they are a powerful manifestation tool. An easy way to do this is to write down two lists: a list of everything you are ready to release in your life, and another list of of everything you want to call into your life (love, abundance, etc). Go into the light of the full moon and hold the first list in the air while saying a prayer to release these things that no longer serve you, while being thankful for the lessons they’ve taught you. Then hold the second list next to your heart and envision all of these things as if they’ve already happened. Say a small prayer calling these things to you, and then keep the paper in a safe space.

🌙 Moon bathing - something as simple as a walk in the moonlight, or sitting outside to absorb its Rey’s is enough to fill you with positive energy and the beauty of nature ❤️

I’m so disappointed in William R. Mason Regional park that they decided to kill these bees and seal off the hive instead of just having them humanely removed.

Got two great texts from patients today and could not feel happier ❤️
