I'm back!!! Join me in the clinic at HealingTree.clinic or in classes this week!
β¨οΈCupping Class (and, bonus materials on guasha, acupressure, moxa, light therapy & more).........Sat, Dec 2nd from 11-12:30pm
β¨οΈMindbody Movement & Meditation. A mix of Maori medicine from New Zealand, qi gong meditations, angel cards, good music and good times....... Weds, Dec 6th from 5:30-6:30pm
Healing Art. β¨οΈ
My favorite thing in the clinic is when a new patient asks, "Will it hurt?" ...and, then I see their beautiful body art. Um, not nearly as much as that! π€£π
Treatment with a filiform needle shouldn't hurt! This thin, small needle is nearly the width of a few hairs (32-36 guage π). IF it is uncomfortable upon insertion, please say something right away!!
All acupuncture points are chosen based on specific anatomical location and physiological function. Whether using needling, cupping or guasha, it should feel pleasant (most people fall asleep during treatments)... and should NEVER hurt.
Many times, you may not even feel the insertion, which surprises most. IF it's sharp, burning, or stabbing, it means the point is too close to a nerve or blood vessel and needs to be removed or adjusted immediately. It's important to find highly qualified, experienced licensed acupuncturists for best therapeutic results. π₯Όβ¨οΈ
Still unsure? We have laser Acupuncture, cupping, guasha, medical massage and many other needle free modalities.
β¨οΈFun Fact. In China, Acupuncture was considered a form of surgery. Taught by scholars and practiced by physicians for centuries, it's still used for anesthesia and in hospitals throughout Asia and in the US.
Acupuncturists are the leading experts in orthopedic needling π We help reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and speed recovery so you can feel your best again.
Chronic headaches
Acute/chronic pain
Post-surgical (reduce inflammation, scars, adhesions)
Arthritis & autoimmune conditions
Injury prevention & Athletic enhancement
Almost every patient we help reports feeling better energy, mood, and an overall sense of well-being. β¨οΈ And, wish they would've started treatments earlier.
We're here for you, or anyone you know struggling with pain (and ALL the things that go along with it ππ)

Selfcare Cupping Class π€
DEC 2 . GRAND FORKS, ND
11am - 12:30pm
Used around the world on nearly every continent for millenia, cupping is a manual therapy technique used to benefit physical, emotional, and mental health. I've been using cupping in treatments since 1998 and I'm excited to share the knowledge and healing. ππ
Practical. Easy to learn. Effective.
β¨οΈMy 8yr old daughter gave me this treatment when I woke up and couldn't move my neck this week. Grateful she had the knowledge... and for the ability to move my neck again! π
Whether you have tight, stiff, or muscles that spasm, stuck emotions (grief/sadness, worry, frustration, heartache), or just need a boost... cupping is amazing. β¨οΈ
Cupping CareKits included for the first 10 to sign up. Call/text to save your spot.

Soaking in the sunsets and changing seasons. ππ§‘
When I first moved to Alaska, people asked if it was hard to have so much darkness in the winter. Not really... the alpenglow sunsets and aurora lit skies make up for the 30 min of less daylight. Plus, after winter solstice, it's fun to see the light grow brighter 5-10 minutes every week.
But the summers... it's ALWAYS bright! Fireworks on the 4th and campfires just aren't the same. So, as the days get darker I'm kind of loving it! ...getting in my fill of bonfires, sunsets and star gazing. πβ¨οΈ
STARDUST TEA. Foraging fireweed today in our healing garden for one of our most popular (and my favorite πΈ) medicinal mix teas. A perfect blend of cinnamon, orange peel, black tea, & Alaska fireweed.
Fireweed is one of my favorite Alaska wildflowers and medicinal plants. After a forest fire, it is one of the first plants to grow, helping to restore the soil and support new growth. I love adding this in to treatment plans for those struggling with life transitions, loss, new beginnings (and those of you who are ALWAYS cold π).
Here's to sipping in sunshine all year long. βοΈπ€
MODERNMEDICINEWOMAN.COM
One of my passions (soul purpose in life π€) is to share medicinal wisdom I've learned from around the world, teach easy to apply treatment techniques you can do it at home, and bring together amazingly beautiful people in magical places. A huge thanks to all that came together this month to make it happen! π π
A teacher and Maori medicine woman I worked with shared that when she grew up in New Zealand, "there was a healer in every house." By the age of 4, they identified children that were gifted and naturally interested in healing and they began helping and learning from the elder healers at a very young age.
This inspired me to begin sharing the lessons I've learned from my 6 years of graduate level medical education, 20+ years of clinical practice, and 15 years of work with indigenous healers from China to Costa Rica, Alaska to the Hopi of Arizona in hopes that you:
1. Learn to listen & trust your body
2. Believe in your ability to heal and gain confidence in yourself, others, & the world
3. Look at the root cause/underlying reasons to allow for issues to resolve and offer sustained relief and peace. (So often, we treat the symptoms and find temporary relief without really understanding the cause and focusing on fixing it π€)
4. Remember that you're not alone. Even healers need healing, and as a healer, it may be easier to take care of everyone and everything, forgetting about yourself. Make sure to take time for you and your own selfcare. π
5. Find the tools that help to heal yourself, family, and friends. Practice them & teach your children, for you will not only heal yourself, but future generations to come.

Healing Room. So excited to transform this new space with the help of my little healer. LOVE being so close to nature (without worrying about bears, moose or Alaskan mosquitoes π).
I grew up as a DIYourselfer. I love painting, but mostly because I paint with intention, literally. Love, Healing, Support and Abundance fill this room and I'm so excited to share it with anyone feeling called to deep, soul-filled healing. π€
View from my treatment room. π€
Do you have plant friends? Or feel better surrounded by nature? My library is filled with books from around the world that share the connection between people, plants and medicine. Here's to preserving the medicinal wisdom of the past with science and an open heart. π
Medicinal Wisdom. Oak bark + leaves. The leaves can also be rubbed directly on the skin to treat insect bites and sores. Both the leaves and bark treat diarrhea, bleeding and hemorrhoids. High in tannins and quercetin (highly astringent and pharmacologically active flavonoids).
Wild Roses, apple blossoms & wildflower honey. I cannot wait for the bees to work their magic this year! So grateful to live in heaven on earth and to share its abundance. β¨
"Do what you love", I always encourage patients. It's amazing how health follows joy. πβ¨
When I'm not foraging medicine or working in the clinic... I LOVE dirt biking! But, with ice still on the lake and snow slowly melting in Alaska... My snowmobile is filling in for the fun. Nothing like a sun soaked ride near sunset!
What do you Love to do!? And, are you taking time to do it? Hope so!!! π€β¨π€
I've seen crazy things happen during treatments... Earth quakes in Costa Rica, a tornado near by in North Dakota, fire alarms going off at Woodard Station (with a clinic full of patients π¬), and power outages in Chicago. Nature happens within and around us always.
BUT, this Bee! I appreciate the help little one, but I'll take it from here. π€£π And, SO grateful for patients that embrace their spirit animal messages. π
Healing hands.
πβ¨
Honey + Herbs. Building bee boxes in between patients today for our new hives.
Can't wait for our newest bee babies to arrive from California, so we can share wildflower, fireweed and other medicinal mix honeys with you throughout the summer. πππ
Snow + Spring. Sometimes I feel like I fell through the back of the wardrobe closet and ended up in Narnia. π€βοΈ
Pure + Wild. Up in the mountains harvesting glacial ice today for small batch Intention Mists. Love the blue hues that sparkle, shine and spread intentions of love and healing around the world. New products available April 2021! ππ¦
Life in the Mountains. Razzle Berry Pie + hiking with my mountain dog. πΎ
