The Yellow Emperor, a legendary founder of Chinese medicine, emphasized harmony between humans and nature. His teachings in the Huangdi Neijing highlight balance, prevention, and living in tune with the seasons. Today, these lessons remain relevant by reminding us to align lifestyle, diet, and mindset with nature to sustain long-term health and wellbeing.
If this resonates with you give me a call and we can work out a treatment plan for you!

A patient came in with a note.
A note to remind her of what to say to me at the beginning of her treatment session on Friday.
Each line a scrawled reminder, each an observation of progress or symptom eased, reflects her self-awareness and trust in the healing process.
Her acupuncture treatments have made an impact, helping her feel seen, and supported enough to want to share her healing story.
If you’re curious about acupuncture, been recommended to seek out the care of an acupuncturist then reach out and see how we can help you.

😌 Why Acupuncture Is Usually Not Scary:
1. Tiny, Painless Needles:
Acupuncture needles are hair-thin and often cause little to no pain. Many people don’t even feel them go in.
2. Relaxing Experience:
Once the needles are in place, most people lie quietly for 20–30 minutes. It’s often described as deeply calming and most people even fall asleep.
3. Experienced Practitioners Make a Big Difference:
Licensed acupuncturists are trained to make the experience smooth and stress-free. They’ll usually walk you through the process, check in with you, and explain everything as they go.
4. No Lasting Negative Side Effects:
Unlike some medical procedures, acupuncture rarely causes significant discomfort afterward—maybe mild soreness at most.

If you’re afraid of needles or unfamiliar sensations, acupuncture can feel scary at first.
But for many people, it’s surprisingly gentle and even enjoyable. If you’re curious but nervous let’s chat!

🍂Deep breathing nourishes Lung Qi, anchoring spirit and body in balance. Each full inhale draws clarity; each slow exhale cultivates calm, restoring harmony within shifting autumn winds.

Happy first day of the Fall season!
Fall is here and this time of year in Chinese medicine is all about the changing environment and energy shrinking to prepare for Winter.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Fall carries a contracting, letting-go energy. A time to become more reflective and organized, setting healthy boundaries while honoring natural cycles of harvest and release. Fall is connected with the Metal element and the emotion of grief, this season invites us to breathe deeply, acknowledge what’s passing, and make space for what’s to come.
