This is where I work with people—one of my favorite treatment rooms here in Boulder.

It’s where I practice one of the things I love most: inserting acupuncture needles not just as a technique, but as a way of listening and responding to what your body and mind are asking for.

That half hour on the table? It can dip you into that place of alignment we all crave—whether we name it or not.

Sometimes we talk about sleep and why you’re wide awake at 2am.

Sometimes it’s hormones, gut health, stress.

Sometimes it’s that your nervous system just won’t power down.

And sometimes… we don’t talk at all. We just listen: to your body, your breath, your quiet patterns.

This work is personal to me. I’ve been there—tired but wired, craving rest, but feeling like my body didn’t get the memo.

Just last night, it happened again. Out of nowhere, or so it seemed. But as I lay awake at 4am, I realized: my mind had been holding so much, quietly, beneath the surface of a full week with patients. And on today’s quieter admin day… it finally had space to speak.

Helping people sleep well again—naturally, deeply, consistently—has become one of my life’s callings.

If you’re not sleeping well, or simply want to feel more like yourself again, I’d love to support you.

This is the only photo I have of myself at a young age. I was 7 years old, just a few months before Romania began its shift from communism to democracy.

Even at that young age, life had already left an impression on me — experiences that shaped not just who I was, but also how I carried myself through every phase of life.

Some of those early experiences left behind invisible wounds — the kind that don’t surface until years later when life pushes you to confront them. For me, it took time and curiosity to uncover how these memories were influencing my well-being.

Surprisingly, breathwork became the key that helped me heal.
Three years ago, I experienced a deeply transformative breathwork session that profoundly changed my life. It allowed me to process old emotions and heal in ways I never thought possible.

Since then, I’ve been immersed in the study and practice of breathwork. Now, I feel honored to offer live breathwork sessions twice a week, creating a space where others can experience its powerful benefits as well. Whether you’re navigating stress, restless nights, or simply searching for deeper emotional connection, this might just be what you’re looking for.

If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to join me in one of these sessions. You can learn more and sign up here: https://www.damianacorca.com/breathwork-sleep

Looking forward to to connecting soon! 🌞✨⭐️

Life can feel overwhelming at times. Whether it’s an over-packed schedule, racing thoughts at bedtime, or worries about tomorrow, all these mental and emotional burdens can weigh on you—and who couldn’t use a tool to help enhance their ability to release it all?

There is an acupuncture point that offers a practical approach to help you “lighten the load.” When we start the process of letting go of constant worries (which let's be honest, it's an ongoing practice for many of us), it opens up the pathway for better sleep and a happier life.

Read the article to see how you can use the point LI-7 to help you feel more relaxed and sleep better.

Known in Chinese as “Wenliu,” Large Intestine 7 translates to “Warm Flow.” The name itself already creates an image of something soothing and comforting—like a wave of warmth gently flowing through your body. Located on the forearm, about five finger-widths up from the wrist crease along t...

I am home today to recover from unexpected dental surgery. I've had my share of dental work/surgeries for a few years, from some trauma to my jaw in my teens, but a few months ago, I thought I was done and just needed regular cleanings.

It turns out that a root canal (my last one!!) from over 20 years ago got very infected, and I started showing symptoms last week. So it had to come out! I am thankful to my excellent holistic dentist, Carmen Burke.

The good news is that my book has been the number 1 best-selling book in Sleep Medicine and number 3 in Holistic Medicine on Amazon for a few days now.

The book is available in paperback and Kindle. The Kindle version is available for 99 cents until tomorrow night (the 7th of December), the the price goes up. So if you still need to get your copy, this is your chance.

Also, it would mean a lot to me if you shared this post with others! Sleeping well is a gift.

Here is the link, check out the book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNYM3HNV/

My sleep book - The Deep Blue Sleep - is almost ready to be birthed into the world! The book will be available late November/Early December of this year!

Meanwhile, I wanted to share one of the advanced praises I got for this book from a doctor I highly respect, for her personal journey of recovering from MS and her contribution in the field of MS and autoimmune issues.
"Poor sleep accelerates disease. Good sleep accelerates healing. The Deep Blue Sleep book offers a holistic view into the world of sleep and how to improve sleep naturally. A terrific guide for anyone with sleep issues looking for a holistic approach to having better sleep."

My book THE DEEP SLEEP is about to be published. It has been a lot of work and I can't want to share it with you.

If you purchased the book in March during the pre-sale campaign, I am excited to inform you that the publisher is shipping the copies to my office at the end of this month.

At that point, I will sit down and sign them all and have them shipped to you. I will likely hand the book directly to you if you are local.

If you haven’t yet purchased it, it will be available on Amazon (paperback and ebook) and other major bookstores. Soon, it will be available in audio form as well.

Wondering when the launch party is happening? I am happy to inform you that it will be mid-November; more on that soon.

One of the most exciting (and honestly unexpected) is getting more advanced praise for my book from some prominent doctors and best-selling authors.

Here is one of them:
“Poor sleep accelerates disease. Good sleep accelerates healing. The Deep Blue Sleep book offers a holistic view into the world of sleep and how to improve sleep naturally. A terrific guide for anyone with sleep issues looking for a holistic approach to having better sleep.”

I can’t wait to share the book with you. Here is an initial sneak peek of the book (in the background of this picture). A full reveal will be coming soon! 🙂

Last chance to get my sleep book - The Deep Blue Sleep (see link below)

The pre-sale campaign ends tonight at 11:59pm ET.

I have sold over 260 copies of my book in the past couple of weeks.

This means that not only the publishing of the book is happening, but also that these last sales are going towards the creation of the audiobook version. I am thrilled!!

I am grateful beyond words, for all the support I have received in this pre-sale campaign. I am astonished and amazed and inspired. Thank you!

If you haven't bought your copy, I would love your support. You will be a part of making the audiobook available to those who are too sleep deprived and tired to keep their eyes open to read.

Exciting news: for the past 3 years, I've been working on a sleep healing book - The Deep Blue Sleep.

It's been an amazing process and one of the hardest things I've ever done.

Honestly, the biggest blessing of the pandemic was being able to put down the backbones of this book before resuming my in-person clinical practice. If it wasn't for that initial uninterrupted (daily!!) stretch of writing, this book would not be here today.

After this long journey, I’m excited to announce that my publisher has approved my manuscript for publication. I couldn't be more excited and grateful for this opportunity!

My book, The Deep Blue Sleep, is about how to fall asleep and stay asleep naturally. I wrote it because I've witnessed too many people struggle terribly with not being able to sleep well at night.
Because I’m a new author, my publisher wants to see me build momentum before we go forward. This is where I’d really love your help: I need to sell 200 copies of my book in the next 21 days!

If you would pre-order a copy and/or share the good news with others, it would mean the world to me. Click on this link to understand what's in the book and how it can help you and buy a copy of The Deep Blue Sleep book.
