This morning we are talking menopause!
If you are going through a stressful time your symptoms will be much worse.
HRT is important but regulating your nervous system is too. Whatever is not working in your life - bad marriage, job or family matters will feel worse during this time.

If you are experiencing digestive issues start incorporating ginger tea into your diet. One to two cups a deal will help settle gut inflammation.

2025 was a really big year… the decision to sell my cabin after 21 years took a lot of work and emotional space. But Geoff and I were up for the challenge. We had to let go of Horne Lake so we could explore the west coast - a new chapter a new goal has begun!

So I thought it would be really cool to have Casey Simon read my astrological chart to make sure I was on point for well the next 25+ years.
The experience was nothing short of amazing!!! This gal is talented beyond words.
I also had her do Ben, Jillian and Dawson’s charts. They LOVED it.
If you are seeking direction or clarity or need confirmation on your soul’s path reach out to her.

Last night I went for a facial at and yes, it was amazing but what caught my eye was their red light therapy machine! I have the exact same one in my clinic and realized we never talk about the incredible benefits of red light therapy!!!
For the face it stimulates collagen I use it in every facial acupuncture treatment but it’s a powerhouse of healing:
It reduces pain and inflammation think arthritis and chronic inflammatory conditions.

Where there is blockage there is pain or blocked energy. This pain can be due to stress, repetitive strain, injury, improper diet or emotional trauma. Yes, emotional wounds get stored in our bodies and can effect our sleep, digestion and menstrual cycles and lead to anxiety, depression and IBS.
Using the tools of Chinese medicine - acupuncture, cupping and gua sha, I work to release this trapped energy causing you pain and illness. You may also be given a food plan to follow, lifestyle suggestions and chinese herbs to further support your treatment and healing.
My goal with every patient is to restore them to wellness and balance. I invite you to experience the healing and restorative effects of acupuncture and Chinese medicine to move from coping to thriving.
