Unwind Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine

Healing isn’t a straight line or a race to the finish. Sometimes it’s slower, quieter, and unfolds in ways we don’t expect. In Chinese medicine, we honor the body’s timing — supporting it as it finds balance, builds resilience, and restores itself along the way.

If your health journey has taken a few detours, you’re not behind. You’re learning, adapting, and tending to yourself in the process. Acupuncture offers a space to pause, recalibrate, and move forward with a little more ease.

When you’re ready to support your body on its own timeline, we’re here. Book online at unwindacupuncture.com or call (859) 287-1097 🌿

In Chinese medicine, Winter is associated with the Water element — the Kidneys, nervous system, and long-term reserves. This is not the season for pushing harder or doing more. It’s the season for conserving energy.

Just like nature rests in winter, your body needs slower rhythms to repair, replenish, and prepare for growth in spring. When we ignore this and keep pushing — more workouts, more caffeine, more productivity — we draw from reserves that take much longer to rebuild.

Acupuncture in the Winter supports rest, sleep, immune function, and nervous system recovery so your body doesn’t enter Spring already depleted.

Support your body’s natural rhythms this season. Book an appointment by calling (859) 287-1097 or visit unwindacupuncture.com.

Just like clouds gather and eventually drift away, our bodies and our lives move through seasons. Pain, fatigue, and uncertainty are not permanent states — they are responses to conditions. And when the conditions change, healing becomes possible.

If your health or life feels overwhelming right now, let this be a reminder: you don’t have to force change. Sometimes the most important thing we can do is tend to ourselves with patience, support, and care — trusting that the clouds will part in their own time.

If you need help navigating your path to wellness, we’re here for you. Visit unwindacupuncture.comor call (859) 287-1097 to book.

🌿 Moving the needle Monday 🌿

Qi can sound abstract, but it’s actually very practical.

Qi is your body’s capacity to do work — to think clearly, breathe, digest food, heal tissue, regulate hormones, and respond to stress.

In Western medicine, we talk about energy at the cellular level — ATP, nerve conduction, metabolic output. Chinese medicine observed this same phenomenon long before we had microscopes and called it qi.

When qi is flowing well, you feel resilient and steady. When it’s depleted or stuck, you feel fatigued, tense, foggy, or inflamed.

Acupuncture helps regulate how energy is produced, distributed, and conserved — not by forcing it, but by helping your body work more efficiently.

Qi isn’t mystical. It’s your physiology, viewed through a different lens.

Water can flow, or it can crash 🌊

There are moments when life feels smooth and steady, and others when it hits hard and fast. Both are natural. What matters is how we care for ourselves in each season — creating space to rest, recalibrate, and stay connected to ourselves along the way.

If you’re feeling the pull to slow down or find steadier ground, we’re here to support you. To book an appointment call (859) 287-1097 or visit unwindacupuncture.com

One of the most common questions I get is, “does acupuncture hurt?”

Acupuncture needles are solid, hair-thin, and nothing like hypodermic needles. They do not feel anything like shots or IV insertion.

You may feel sensations like waves, heaviness, warmth, a dull ache, or a gentle buzzing. You may feel nothing at all at the area of insertion. As you rest, however, you'll notice your body is able to settle, relax and unwind.

If something feels sharp or uncomfortable, we adjust. Treatment should feel supportive, not stressful. Many patients are surprised by how relaxing acupuncture feels — some even fall asleep.

Reminder: it’s never too late to tend to old wounds.

The experiences we move through shape us. Like trees weathering storms, pressure and turbulence can make us resilient, rooted, and strong.

But strength alone isn’t the whole story. Even the most steadfast trees need periods of softness, nourishment, and care.

In my practice, I often meet people who have lived through things that were never fully processed or held — the loss of a loved one, years spent caregiving, a difficult transition like divorce, infertility, postpartum, illness, or sending children out into the world. Sometimes it’s a season that required survival mode. Sometimes it’s an experience where there was no time, space, or support to feel at the time.

In Chinese medicine, we understand that these unacknowledged hurts don’t simply disappear. They’re carried quietly in the body, shaping how we move through the world, how we rest, how we heal. Over time, they can show up as tension, fatigue, pain, or imbalance — not as a failure, but as a message.

Tending to old wounds doesn’t mean reliving them. It means creating space to soften, to be supported, and to let the body do what it’s always been trying to do: restore balance.

Wherever you are in your story, it’s not too late to begin. You don't have to walk that journey alone. To book a session, call (859) 287-1097 or visit unwindacupuncture.com.

Acupuncture works by speaking your body’s language. The insertion of needles or use of adjunct modalities (cupping, gua sha, tui na, etc.) delivers feedback to your nervous system, circulatory system and immune system. When those systems are supported and balanced, health generally follows.
