Have you experienced these feelings recently? 😔😡😑​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
With Five Element Acupuncture, emotional symptoms are just as important as physical. Both show signs of imbalance in your body's system. ⚖️​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Every emotion has a right to exist and our emotions are in a constant state of flux. Taking care of yourself is productive. And that includes taking note when you aren't feeling like yourself 🤔❤️‍🩹​​​​​​​​

My magic needles 🪄🦄✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you know that needles do not stay in for more than a second in Five Element Acupuncture? A quick in and out! That's all! 😲⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which is why it is a great option for people with needle phobia. Needling coincides with a small dull ache that lasts only a moment 🙏🏼And if you have needle phobia, fear not! These are nothing like a hypodermic needle that you receive with a shot. In fact, the needles are extremely thin, as in the width of a human hair!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you receive acupuncture, what do you think of the needles?!

12/09/2021

🎶 I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes,
Acupuncture needles are all around me,
and so the healing grows 🎶

I will be out of the office December 23 through January 2nd- I have very few appointments available before the holidays! 🎄✨🎄✨

If you would like to feel this way before the festive season reach out to claim the last few spots or get on my cancellation list ♥️💚♥️💚♥️

Hope your day is merry and bright!

How incredible is it that a few points on your body can have such a strong effect on your immune system, physical health, and overall wellbeing?!👏🏽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, causing the release of chemicals into muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These changes stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities and encourages physical and mental well-being. 🤩🤩🤩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What I love most about this medicine is that each treatment is curated specifically for you and what your needs are. No two treatments are ever the same, because no two people are the same ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you feel post acupuncture treatment?

Did you know acupuncture is a VERY complimentary medicine when going through IVF?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Acupuncture helps support the fertility process in many ways, but most importantly it does so by:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Increasing blood flow, especially to reproductive organs. Proper blood flow to the ovaries can promote ovulation and healthy eggs⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Regulates hormones to produce more follicles⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Lessens side effects of drugs used with IVF⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Dramatically calms the nervous system and corrects natural imbalances, all of which supports your response to IVF treatments⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most women ask how long it will take to get pregnant. The truth is it is highly variable. Some women become pregnant within one to two months and others take much longer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Coping with infertility is extremely difficult. If this is something you are experiencing and you have questions please reach out and I’m happy to support you ❤️

As we are currently in the season of autumn 🍂 which is associated with the Lungs, I wanted to talk a bit about this lovely point!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌥Cloud Gate🌥 is the second point on the Lung meridian. It lies on the lateral end of the front of the shoulder, just under the clavicle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☁️Cloud Gate is one of my favorites and is so beautiful and powerful when used appropriately 🙏🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☁️This point helps a person renew connection with their highest self; it is used when someone is in a dark depression and can’t see the brightness all around. In sum, this point brings back mental clarity and spiritual connection💫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☁️This point is more often used for the spirit of the point. However, physically Cloud Gate can also help shoulder pain, wheeziness, and a persistent cough.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you somebody who embraces autumn or who misses the brighter days?

Such a special time last weekend connecting and meeting other wonderful Five Element Acupuncturists!
🪵🔥🌎💎🌊

We trained with Hilary Skellon from the ITEA school. I will always be a lifelong student of Five Element Acupuncture and I love deepening my education of this natural medicine 🙏🏼

Bonus that we got to be there while all the leaves were changing and I got to be with my favorite person !!!

Have the leaves started to turn where you are?🍂🍁🍂

LIFE UPDATE! Sooo this happened! Holland and I got married on 05.22.2021!! 💒👰🏼‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️

We had a very small ceremony with our parents only that was so magical ✨On a later date we had a blessing at my grandmother’s house with our extended family. We plan on having a big celebration sometime in the next year with all our friends!! 🍾🍾🍾

I’ve continued to see patients and been so busy that I took an Instagram break! With that I have missed you all so much and I’m so happy to be back and connect with you all! 💗

Have you ever taken a social media break?

Busy 🐝 at work this week! This means LOTS of moxa!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here I am warming an herb called moxa, also known as mugwort. In Five Element Acupuncture we use moxa on almost every acupuncture point before needling 💫 This enhances the point’s functions, prepares the body for treatment, as well as boosts energy and is very grounding 🙏🏽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Moxa benefits include:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍯Pain management⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍯Aids digestive disorders⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍯Improves circulation⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍯Boosts energy and immunity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍯Anxiety and depression relief⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍯Turning breeched position of fetus⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍯Women’s health- helps regulate periods and relieve PMS & painful periods⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you worked with moxa before? Raise your hand if you love the smell of moxa like I do!!! 🙋🏼‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Somebody pinch me - is this real?!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Elements Acupuncture won for Best Acupuncturist in Austin by ! 🎉🏆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who voted, supported, and has been encouraging during an especially crazy year for small businesses. I am so grateful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To say this is unexpected is an understatement. When I made the leap to open my practice a little over a year ago I never would have expected to receive such an honor. And the truth is, as I reflect on the significance of this, I keep coming back to my patients - because really, the greatest honor of all is to treat each of you! I have the best job in the world!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
