Tools of the trade...swipe to see. Did you know that a single needle is way thinner than dental floss? Each sterile stainless steel acupuncture needle is used only once, then disposed of properly according to clean needle technique / hazmat / OSHA standards. Leaving balanced Qi behind of course- we don’t dispose of that! Also, crystals are cool and help me work smarter not harder.

Back to School is upon us and late summer/early fall viruses right around the corner. (Not to mention a crazy-awful-long allergy season here in Los Angeles.) If you're interested in learning how to make homemade elderberry syrup (a fantastic home remedy that is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, phlegm-busting), comment here. I'm trying to gauge interest. I'll likely teach a class either at FLOAT or at my home in Altadena, and possibly also make it available on FB Live. (Pic is courtesy of Mountain Rose Herbs, where I source my dried elderberries.)

BIG NEWS! I’m thrilled to announce that my dear friend and colleague (Sara Howard, LM, IBCLC) will be relocating her midwifery and lactation practice into our suite here at FLOAT! I could not be more excited to share space with Sara, with whom I’ve shared many, many clients. Now you know why I’ve been Konmari’ing and hustling to do an office revamp. 👊 Welcome, Sara!
