The time has come.
My planned last day of work was March 20th. I would have even told anyone that up until this afternoon. However, my body is tired. Which is really nothing new for this pregnancy! I have mastered falling asleep sitting up which has been helpful but also not at times lol. Ultimately, I’m aware now of how much energy a pregnancy requires. Something I didn’t fully understand the first time I was pregnant. In the name of knowing better and doing better it’s time for me to be off work and get ready for labour and the newborn days.

My last day of work will be this Friday, March 7th. I’m so sorry for those of you who are booked in for after March 7th, as I will be contacting you to cancel your appointment & offer other practitioners to support you while I’m on maternity leave.

Thank you everyone for your support & I’ll be back March 2026.
❤️

The winning tea combo for me this fall🍂
1 ginger tea bag
1 cinnamon stick
1 spoon of local honey - the accountant / beekeeper across the hall is where I get mine!

I drink one cup a day.

Ginger is fantastic for helping the spleen transform dampness accumulated from the diet that is also related to having sinus congestion and a phlegmy cough.

Cinnamon is another warming herb that I’ve noticed has help me combat the windy days we’ve been having. Gives my immune system an extra boost and keeps the body’s defences (Wei Qi) up.

Honey nourishes yin and moistens fluids to combat dryness in the body.

Try it for yourself if you’re interested! Super easy to make as well!

Happy Friday!

In my last year of university I went to Beijing for an acupuncture clinical internship. After one of our first days visiting the hospital one of our guides/host/assigned friends joined us for mojitos. & this is the part I’ll never forget.

We had asked if she wanted one, and she said no thank you. I don’t drink alcohol or coffee when I’m on my period.

I’m TCM it is understood that coffee and alcohol make the blood move erratically. So it should be refrained during the period. However, in North America women rarely refrain from anything during their period. Either for not knowing or it is too big a inconvenience.

Anywho, this is me on cycle day 1. Not perfect. I tried my best to not have any coffee but the caffeine headache kicked in so I made a half-caf to enjoy with these pumpkin snickerdoodles with chai sugar from .

Acupuncture is never talked about as a health care service. I also don’t feel the need to justify the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine by explaining how the medicine works by using western medicine terms. Even though I thought I once needed to for people to give it a chance.

It is often difficult for people to know when to seek acupuncture care. Traditional Chinese Medicine includes: acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, and lifestyle. In addition, TCM is a trauma informed medicine that is useful in the treatment of mental and emotional health. There is a wealth of information to draw from this medicine to support everyone physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in their day-to-day lives.

Special mention to .way .fawn for being the inspiration behind this statement.

When your colleague hops on the table and says her only request is for you to huato jiaji points.. it’s like the feeling of dancing at a club when your 19 and your favourite song comes on. Pure joy.

I love hanging out along the spine in the treatment room. Du points and Huato jiaji transform so much palpable tension in the body not only physical, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

This person is still in pain from a snowboarding collision last winter & there was absolutely no need for me to needle trigger points, find palpable knots, or needle every sore area. She needed a break from discomfort, and a subtle nudge into relief ❤️

Love ya my friend,

Ash ❤️

Something I’ve never seen discussed when it comes to birth prep acupuncture is treating the person who is pregnant for what they need. Not necessarily focusing on the baby.
Throughout pregnancy and postpartum the conversation is often, if baby is ok, so is mom. As important as it is. I can say from a personal and professional perspective the disservice that does to a person goring a baby, and a new mom.

I’m thankful to have treated a colleague today and given her a treatment to help her through the final leg of her pregnancy & as Randine Lewis once said, when a person is given what they need at that moment, the next inevitably follows. So here’s to supporting the ripeness of life so the next can have no choice but to unfold and bloom. 🌸☀️

Our bodies and internal environment changes and adapts due to many reasons. Seasonal changes is one of them!

When the seasons change so do the need of our bodies. Switching from the dormancy of winter to the vibrancy spring is a big transition!

Include acupuncture if you’re feeling some of these ways as we enter spring:

• sluggish and fatigue
• anxious and restless
• headaches and tension
• heartburn, nausea, bloating
&
• seasonal allergy symptoms!

It’s the start of a new work week & reflecting back on this acupuncture treatment from last week.

I’m not going to lie. When I see pictures of a back treatment and I only see back shu points.. it’s not it for me.

I spend a lot of time palpating the spine, assessing restriction along the Du Mai, over Huatojiaji’s, and first and second UB lines. Then I select my points according to how those areas feel with the knowledge of the look of the tongue, feel of the pulse, and dialogue of the condition needing treatment.

Are you in need of an acupuncture appointment? I have availability this week. DM me if you’re interested or check out my online schedule for a time that works for you!
