I’ve made the decision to step away from Instagram and Facebook and any platform owned by those who actively support Trump, his agenda, or any form of fascist ideology. These platforms enable harmful narratives, give space to hate, and profit from the divisive politics and values that I cannot stand behind.

I believe in equality, integrity, and the protection of human rights. Trump and the movement surrounding him stand in direct opposition to those principles. Platforms that empower and profit from such ideologies are complicit, and I choose not to contribute to that cycle.

Watching an inauguration where billionaires filled the front row instead of elected officials, seeing Elon Musk—trained by N**is—give a N**i salute, and witnessing Trump use his first hours in office to dismantle the foundation of our country by attacking constitutional rights made this decision clear for me. People stood by silently during World War II, allowing atrocities to happen. I refuse to be one of them. I would rather be six feet underground than support this president and anyone associated with him.

Moving forward, all communication with patients will now be through email. Be sure to check your inbox for updates and announcements about upcoming Qi Breaks—I’m excited to stay connected in this way!

Thank you for being part of this journey and for standing up for what’s just and true.

Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“Only in the dark can we see the stars.”

This timeless quote feels as true today as ever. Dr. King’s vision reminds us that even in challenging times, there is light to guide us if we look for it. His legacy inspires us to keep reaching for justice, hope, and unity—and to believe in a brighter future.

Let’s honor his dream by continuing to work toward it together.

Who gets gifts for Inauguration Day? Apparently, I do!

My patients know and appreciate how I lean—and yes, It’s not easy to swallow this president, but the camaraderie and kindness from my patients remind me that we’re in this together.

For some, it’s a day to celebrate; for others (like me), it’s a challenging one. No matter where you stand, know that I’m here for everyone. Staying true to myself and my beliefs is part of the authentic care I offer—and that won’t change.

✨ Before & After ✨

One of my favorite benefits of microneedling is how it evens out my skin tone. Just look at these pics! My rosacea, which usually shows up on my nose, chin, and cheeks, is already noticeably calmer. It hasn’t even been enough time to stimulate collagen production (that happens after 30 days and really shines after 6–10 sessions), but the redness has improved, and my skin looks smoother and more even.

Another bonus? Microneedling gives a deep exfoliation, leaving my skin feeling fresh and looking radiant. In the after pic, I’ve got my usual night balm on, so the hydrated glow is just part of my regular routine—full transparency!

If you’ve been curious about microneedling, I can’t recommend it enough. 💕

Microneedling: What to Expect During Healing

A lot of patients ask, “How will I look after microneedling?” Here’s a breakdown of my own experience:

➡️ Before: My natural complexion has a rosy tone.
➡️ Immediately after: My skin is spicy red and feels super itchy and feels like I have a bad sunburn.
➡️ 30 minutes later: The redness is already significantly reduced, and the itching has almost disappeared.
➡️ 1 hour later: The redness is about 75% better, and there’s a mild sunburn feeling.
➡️ Next day: Slight redness remains and even worsens a little overnight, with mild itchiness, but no burning.

Pro tip: Avoid scheduling microneedling right before a big event. Healing times vary, so it’s best to give yourself at least a week to recover. Trying your first session without an event coming up is ideal, as everyone’s skin reacts differently. Some patients barely stay red for 10 minutes, while my sensitive skin shows redness more easily.

This service includes a full acupuncture session to support your body’s healing process. If time allows, I also add nano-needling (a dream for under-eye and lip rejuvenation!). Microneedling is focused on the face and hairline, but you can also schedule it for hair loss needs exclusively.

✨ Book your session online through RootsofWisdomAcu.com and give your skin (or hairline!) a fresh start!

Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona’s Coyote Medicine is a moving account of his journey from doctor to true healer. It’s about realizing the need to transform Western medicine, creating space for Native American shamanism and even acupuncture within modern healthcare. His story reveals the importance of honoring ancient wisdom alongside scientific advancements to achieve deep and lasting healing.

Many of my acupuncture patients would resonate with this book—it speaks to those who’ve tried everything Western medicine offers without results, only to find relief in ancient healing methods. It also reminds us that many humans crave a spiritual connection as part of their path to wellness.

Have you read it? Let’s talk about it in the comments!

Movement is medicine, and for women, it’s essential for strong bones and vibrant health. In Chinese medicine, the health of your bones is deeply connected to the Kidney system, which governs growth, aging, and vitality. Regular movement—whether through weightlifting or practices like Qigong that use your body weight—can strengthen your bones, boost circulation, and support your overall wellbeing.

Weightlifting is especially beneficial, as it helps maintain bone density and prevents osteoporosis. Meanwhile, Qigong combines gentle, weight-bearing movements with mindful breathing to harmonize your body’s energy and nourish the Kidney system. Together, these practices create a powerful foundation for long-term health.

Whether you’re lifting weights or flowing through a Qigong sequence, you’re not just building strength—you’re investing in your future. Let’s celebrate movement as an essential part of women’s wellness!

Join us next Friday night for Rhythms of Wellness, a restorative blend of acupuncture, qigong, sound healing, and meditation designed to energize your body and calm your mind. Book online now at rootsofwisdomacu.com!

“Jennifer Flynn of Roots of Wisdom Acupuncture is incredible! Her treatments feel like a luxurious spa experience, combining massage and sound healing for ultimate relaxation and deep healing. I began seeing her for severe hot flashes, and after just a couple of months, they’ve improved dramatically – I can even wear a winter coat again!

Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she’s also a joy to talk with. I look forward to our chats as much as the sessions themselves. Her care has helped with my anxiety and sleep as well. She truly goes above and beyond. Her care has been truly transformative.”
