Feeling a little more irritable, off-cycle, or just not quite like yourself lately?

You are not imagining it.

In Chinese medicine, spring is the season of the Liver, which is deeply connected to:

• Hormone balance
• Menstrual cycles
• Fertility
• Emotional flow

When Liver Qi is flowing well, things feel smoother.

When it gets stuck (very common this time of year), you might notice:

✨ PMS symptoms
✨ Irregular cycles
✨ Breast tenderness
✨ Waking between 1–3am
✨ That “on edge” feeling

Spring is about movement—but if your body is still coming out of winter, that movement can feel like pressure.

Acupuncture helps restore flow—not force.

💚 If your cycle feels off or you are trying to conceive, this is a powerful time to begin.

Happy Pi Day 🥧

I reminds us that some things in life are beautifully complex and endlessly unfolding.

Health can feel that way too.

Healing is rarely a straight line. It moves in cycles, rhythms, and patterns. Sometimes the body just needs a little support to find its way back to balance.

And sometimes it also needs pie.

If your body has been asking for support lately, acupuncture can help.

Cooling Foods for Headaches

In Chinese medicine, certain foods can help calm tension patterns in the body.

If headaches are related to Liver Yang rising, cooling foods can help balance the system.

Try adding:

🌿 Mint tea
🥒 Cucumber

Both help gently cool and soothe the body.

An herb often used in Chinese medicine for this pattern is Gou Teng, which helps calm rising tension.

Food, herbs, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes often work best together.

Small daily habits can make a big difference.

A Note About Referrals 💚

One responsibility I take seriously as a healthcare provider is who I refer my patients to.

Referrals are not only about clinical skill. They are also about whether I feel confident that the people I recommend will treat patients with respect, dignity, and care.

I periodically review my referral network to make sure the practitioners I recommend share commitments that matter deeply in healthcare:

• Respect for patients
• An inclusive and welcoming environment
• Evidence-informed approaches to health and safety

Recently, a conversation with a colleague who appeared to be pro-ICE prompted me to reflect more deeply on this and update parts of my referral list. This was not a conversation I expected to have, but I want to make lemonade out of lemons.

My goal is always simple:
If I refer you to someone, I want you to feel safe, respected, and supported.

If you ever need help finding a practitioner in another field, I’m always happy to help connect you with people who provide thoughtful and compassionate care.

Headaches and jaw tension often have a stress connection.

In Chinese medicine, tension headaches are frequently related to Liver Qi stagnation and Liver Yang rising. When stress builds and Qi cannot move smoothly, pressure can travel upward into the head and neck.

Common signs include:

• Tight jaw or TMJ
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Irritability or feeling wired
• Headaches that worsen with stress

The body is incredibly intelligent. Sometimes headaches are simply a signal that something needs to move.

Acupuncture can help restore circulation, relax the nervous system, and release tension patterns in the body.

If headaches have been bothering you, acupuncture may help.

Because I sensed this would be a fast, intense year (hello Fire Horse 🔥🐎), I signed up for Qigong teacher training at Zen Shiatsu in Chicago.

Qigong is moving meditation.
It regulates the nervous system.
It supports Liver Qi.
It grounds fire energy.

If you’re curious about starting:

✨ Sue at Zen Shiatsu (Chicago)
✨ Lee Holden online (wonderful, accessible classes)
✨ Arlene Faulk’s tai chi classes at Heartwood (right here in Skylight!)

In a year that feels fast, Qigong reminds me:

Movement can be slow.
Intentional.
Rooted.

At some point I may teach — but right now I’m loving being a student again 💚

Spring is not a race.
It is a rhythm.

I support people in two ways:

🌿 Acupuncture — regulating the nervous system, smoothing Liver Qi, supporting cycles, sleep, and pain relief.

🔮 Astrology readings — understanding your natal chart, current transits, eclipses, and longer cycles so you can move with clarity.

If you’re feeling:
• Reactive
• Stuck
• Unsure of your next step
• Physically tight or emotionally overwhelmed

You don’t have to push through.

You can align instead.

On February 17, we entered the Year of the Fire Horse — the first since 1966.

Fire + Horse energy =

🔥 Speed
🔥 Visibility
🔥 Expression
🔥 Rapid shifts

This is not a quiet year.

When the collective energy accelerates, your nervous system needs grounding even more.

But Fire is also relational.
It’s about connection.
Love.
Heart energy.

A mantra for this year:

“We shall harness for God the energies of love… and man will have discovered fire.”
— Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Movement — not pressure.
Growth — not force.

If your body feels tight or overstimulated, acupuncture can help regulate and ground this energy.

💗 Valentine’s Day: Caring for the Heart & Shen

In Chinese medicine, the Heart is more than an organ.
It’s the home of the Shen—our spirit, presence, and emotional steadiness.

When life is stressful, uncertain, or tender (and honestly, when isn’t it lately), the Shen can feel unsettled. Sleep gets lighter. Emotions feel closer to the surface. The mind has trouble resting.

Acupuncture offers gentle support for the Heart and Shen by:
• Calming the nervous system
• Supporting emotional regulation
• Improving sleep and mental clarity
• Helping you feel more grounded and at ease

This Valentine’s Day, love doesn’t have to be performative.
It can be quiet.
It can be embodied.
It can look like tending to your inner world with care.

💚 Supporting your Heart and Shen is a powerful form of self-love.

💚 A Quick Practice Update

Starting next month, my acupuncture prices will be increasing slightly.

New rates will be:
• Follow-up sessions: $120
• 8-packs: $880
• 12-packs: $1260

This change helps support the sustainability of my practice and allows me to continue offering thoughtful, individualized care.

If you’ve been considering ongoing acupuncture this spring, now is a good time to purchase a package before the increase. Packages are a great way to support consistency and save overall.

As always, thank you for trusting me with your care. I don’t take that lightly.

🤍 Acupuncture Support During IVF

If you’re going through IVF, you’re carrying a lot—physically, emotionally, hormonally. Support matters.

Research suggests that acupuncture during an IVF cycle can be associated with improved outcomes, especially when treatments are consistent rather than one-off.

What I often recommend (and what studies point toward):
• Once or twice weekly acupuncture during the stimulation phase
• One session right before and right after embryo transfer (24 hour window is okay.)
• Ongoing support tailored to your body and cycle

One important takeaway from the research:
✨ The more acupuncture someone receives during their IVF cycle, the better the outcomes tend to be.
This isn’t about doing “everything perfectly”—it’s about creating steady support for blood flow, nervous system regulation, and stress reduction during an intense process.

Acupuncture doesn’t replace medical care. It works alongside it—supporting your body so it can do what it’s already trying to do.

If you’re navigating IVF and want thoughtful, experienced acupuncture care, I’d be honored to support you.
