Did you know New York has a women’s full-tackle football league??

Because you should! 💪🏽

I get to work with these women this season—and they bring a whole different level of strength and grit.

Catch them at their home games ⬇️

Good luck to all my runners racing the half today- go do your thing! 🔥
It’s honestly an honor to have so many ridiculously hardworking athletes trust me with their care. I’m equal parts proud, humbled, and just a little bit in awe of you all. ☺️
Go chase that finish line like you mean it! 🙌🏾

🪄 It’s not wizardry… it’s science.

At NCA, I treat:
✔️ Back pain
✔️ Neck pain
✔️ Shoulder issues
✔️ Tendons that hate you
✔️ Athletes who refuse to sit still

I do not treat:
❌ Chakras
❌ Auras
❌ Your Ex
❌ Whatever phase the moon is in

We’re ortho over here.
Less incense. More results. It just might feel like magic. ✨

Rock: 1
Hiker: 0

But after a little orthopedic acupuncture and actually following the home care plan…

Hiker: 1
Rock: still a rock. 🪨

Sometimes it is the most mundane moment, like kicking a rock on a hike, that reminds us how quickly something small can turn into something much bigger. The body has a way of humbling us like that.

That is where I come in. Let’s get you back on the trail. 💪

I was born in 1978. 🫣

Just six years earlier, Title IX (1972) opened the doors for women to have equal access to education. Five years before I was born, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (1974) finally allowed women to obtain credit, including a credit card, in their own name.

And it wasn’t until 1988, when I was ten years old, that the Women’s Business Ownership Act gave women equal access to business loans without requiring a male co-signer.

I have benefited from all of these changes and more.

Because of the women who came before me, I was able to earn a full scholarship in college and become a first-generation college graduate. Today, I own my own business.

None of this happened in a vacuum.

I stand on the shoulders of women who pushed, fought, and refused to accept the limits placed on them.

On International Women’s Day, I pause to recognize the women who made these opportunities possible — and to say thank you. 🙏

Happy Lunar New Year! 🐎
This year celebrates the Horse, especially the fiery kind, known for energy, independence, and a little bit of stubborn determination. Honestly, it sounds like half my patients and most athletes I know. Here’s to strong wills, grit, and the movers and shakers. This is your year. 🔥

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
If you’re your own Valentine,
You’re in very good company… you.

You don’t need a partner to have a great day. Take yourself out for coffee. Hit the gym. Book the bodywork. Buy the thing you’ve been eyeing because let’s be real… you have excellent taste, and you’re definitely not returning it.

Flowers die.
Chocolate disappears.
But taking care of yourself? That pays dividends.

Self-love isn’t cheesy. It’s smart. It’s strong. It’s showing up for yourself the same way you show up for everyone else.

So take yourself on the date.
Laugh. Move. Rest. Eat the good food.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
Be your own Valentine… you’re a catch anyway. 💜

❄️ Breaking News: Snow-pocalypse Incoming ❄️

Due to the impending arrival of snow measured in “don’t be a hero” units, North Country Acupuncture will be CLOSED Monday.

Mother Nature has officially prescribed rest, layers, and zero commuting. Please stay home, stay warm, shovel responsibly (this is not a workout challenge), and let the plows do their thing.
I will be back Tuesday morning! ⛄️ ☕️ 📚

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has donated in support of Interfaith Partnership for the Homeless. The kindness and generosity shown so far have been truly moving. This is an ongoing effort, so if you have not had a chance yet, donations are always welcome. I am so grateful to be part of a community that consistently shows up for others in such a meaningful way.

Socks are cozy… but they will not fix their back. 🧦

For the athlete, the desk warrior, or the person who swears their back is “fine”- NCA gift cards available online or in office during business hours. 🎁

Time to talk about the snowy elephant in the room… the NCA Winter Policy. ❄️

Winter is a whole choreography of school delays, shifting schedules, and trying to keep you pain-free enough to shovel your driveway without cussing. ⛄️

If I close, you’ll see an IG + FB post between 5–6am, and I’ll text anyone who needs a new time. (Rescheduling is my least favorite hobby, but sometimes winter wins.)

Policy-wise:
If there are fewer than 5 people on the schedule, I will reschedule the rest.
If not? Game on. Tiny-but-mighty needles don’t melt.

Your safety matters. If driving feels sketchy, just say so—zero judgment. I’m from Florida. Snow and I are still negotiating our relationship. 🦩
