This is a long video, but educational. So stick with me here. Today I’m talking about the needles I use in clinic for acupuncture and why I use them.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions from new patients lately about the needles so wanted to share this so future patients and new acupuncturists who see it understand the difference and uses of various needles.

Enjoy.

If you’re a licensed acupuncturist, you can purchase any of these needles and the Exatore needles direct through .

To all my friends and family, and to all the strangers I don’t know, thank you for your service and sacrifice. While this is the day we remember and celebrate your heroic service, I live in daily gratitude for all you do and have done. Thank you!

Happy Halloween friends!

A little anatomy humor for some Halloween giggles. Also, I think I’d more scared of the nervous system too! A lot more power in the way we feel and interpret the world in it than the skeleton. It takes way more for the skeleton to be rattled!!

If you didn’t know already acupuncture, cupping and even relaxation massage can help take the scary out of your nervous system. I provide all three at Inhale.

Taking new patients in January and booking returns in January, February and March right now. My schedule is booked through end of year.

In case you don't get my clinic emails, I also publish the information on my website blog. Here's what you need to know looking ahead to 2026 at Inhale.

Looking ahead to 2026NEW CLINIC HOURS REMINDER.As a reminder, starting November 2025, my hours are changing. I will continue to be in the clinic Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with some adjusted hours. I will still see 5-6 patients per day, just in a condensed time period, which means at certain tim...

Back in May, I had the privilege to work with this patient with Bell’s Palsy. I was able to see her 4 days after onset, which is so important to restore function and increases the chances of full recovery. We documented our three treatment journey. She had the same white shirt on for treatment two and three.

I wrote a case study blog post on my website which you can read through the link in my bio. All these pictures and videos were used with her full permission, and the case study was reviewed by her for approval before posting.

Slide 1: initial assessment photo with deviated tongue, inability to close eye on affected side, and muscle spasticity on affected side.

Slide 2: electro stimulation on facial muscles to restore function.

Slide 3: Video of electro stimulation in action with open and close of eye lid

Slide 4: image of treatment two pre treatment assessment. She can close her eyes!!

Slide 5: video of electro stimulation on facial points slightly adjusted for where recovery still needed

slide 6: video assessment at end of 2nd treatment

Slide 7: video assessment at end of 3rd treatment.

There is a remarkable difference and improvement in video post treatment 2 and 3 on slide 6 and 7. Note eyebrow lift, and right corner of mouth for greatest visible changes.

If you want to read my case study, points I used, stimulation settings and other info about our treatments, go check out my blog post in linktree in my bio.

Starting November 1, 2025, my clinic hours are changing. With shorter days and more darkness, I want to honor my body’s needs for more rest and recovery. As you probably know I go pretty hard in clinic and my personal life from March through October when there are longer days and more yang energy available. This year, I’ve decided to follow the seasonal change and take more rest to recover my energies during the winter yin time months. Since 2023, my body has been craving a slower pace, and I’ve been resisting. As a result, I’m noticing more fatigue, random ailments (like that crazy eye infection), and a general low energy for things I love to do. In order to serve my patients well, and follow my own advice, I’m moving to a slower pace to allow recovery.

As you will see I will not have 5:30 “after work” appointments available in the winter. Please consider (for the one time a month you see me for a tune up) adjusting your work schedule to come a little earlier if you are typically booking in at 5:30.

Winter is a time to slow down, nurture, reflect and rejuvenate. I plan on following the advice I give you, and doing winter much slower this year.

I’m already booking in late October and November. Please feel free to reach out if you want to secure time. Additionally, I cannot see new patients until November. If you have been planning to work with me, call now to book in to the schedule then. It will be full by the time November gets here.

Thank you for your understanding and support. It’s always been my mission to not only treat you and help you find your optimal life, but to model the behaviors that help you get there.

PSA: getting an appointment with me last minute is very near impossible. I will “squeeze you in” for a time sensitive issue. What qualifies as time sensitive to me??

• stoke within one -two weeks of occurrence
• Bell’s palsy diagnosis within one week of occurrence
• fertility treatments at least 4 weeks before an insemination attempt (but I’d rather see you longer for better success)
• acute sprained ankle within first 2-3 days after it happens
• a few other acute injuries / ailments as long as you contact me within the first week of them happening

Everything else, if you’ve had it going on for weeks or longer, especially conditions you’ve been dealing with for years and acupuncture is the last thing you’re thinking to try, are worked into my next available openings - usually 4-6 weeks out from when you call me.

I have a very busy clinic schedule and am more than happy to be on your care team. It will take time to get in the rotations. Often people find that acupuncture and treatment with me help when nothing else has. But, unless it is in the above list, it is not an emergency and a few more weeks to wait to get in to see me after years is no time at all.

So please call now for scheduling and take my advice for scheduling multiple visits in a row so we can get you back to a better place. Acupuncture works. It’s a process. Trust my expertise. Together we can get you into a better quality of life, even if it’s another 4-6 weeks before we get started.

I’m here to help. Let me know how I can help you.

I’ve spent the summer teaching Tuesday night pop up yoga classes all over Athens. Each location is choosen to offer a new place to experience the beauty that Athens has to offer. Tonight we practiced at Sells Park. It was a small group but we loved the location, intermingling with people as they passed us on the path and taking in the beautiful new dancing girl sculptures in the pond. I have one more class next Tuesday, Aug 26. Don’t know where we will be yet but I’m sure it will be wonderful.
