Many of my clients know this sculpture well. Day Follows Night, by Brookhart Jonquil, sits high in one of my treatment rooms, positioned so you can gaze into infinity as you receive treatment.

I first saw this piece 8 years ago, when, on our third date, Brookhart Jonquil took me on a private showing at his show at Emerson Dorsch. I remember gazing at this sculpture and saying, "this is an acupuncture point." I explained to him that acupuncture points are 3 dimensional and they have a center point. It's a point of power, a point that can catalyze change in a system or a body, and the closer you get to activating the center, the more power it has. A single point has the power to offer a shift that reverberates into all your bodies. In Day Follows Night, in the very center, you can see the other panes of glass reflected to infinity. I also remember Brook Dorsch whispering to me, "he must like you a lot"!

I have loved him since that day, and today is our wedding anniversary. Every cell in my body has died and been reborn in that time. I have gone through the chrysalis of pregnancy and came out with a baby in tow twice. There is no part of my physical body that is the same as it was on the day I first saw this piece. No part of his either. And yet my love is fresh, sweet, malleable and constant. Happy anniversary, ! May our love reflect on like the center of this sculpture- into infinity.

I saw my acupuncturist the other day for my annual spring tune up. It's spring time, and it's the energetic season of wood/wind. She reminded me of something important—self-censoring and second-guessing myself is self imposed stagnation. In Chinese Medicine, we talk about it being metal overcoming wood. It’s like having the sails set but hesitating to lean into the wind and missing the momentum that’s already there.

It's traditional to treat wood energy through the liver meridians at this time of year. However, she didn't just soothe and calm my liver qi- she threw open the sails and let the full force of the season surge through. For me, the change was immediate—like catching a strong gust at just the right angle, that moment when resistance drops away, and you surge forward, driven by something bigger than yourself. I jumped off the table full of energy and determination, with the drive to put the wind in all my patient's sails too!

Spring is most assuredly not a time for half-hearted measures. It’s the season to embrace momentum, to take bold action, to lean in and let the energy of renewal push you forward. Most limits? They’re like ropes you forgot you could untie.

The Liver, in all its springtime glory, is meant to move—like a vessel cutting through open water, powered by clarity, vision, and the pure exhilaration of momentum. If yours is stuck—wrapped in frustration, hesitation, or exhaustion—it’s time to shake it loose.

Consider this your invitation to a Spring Cleaning Session—a seasonal acupuncture tune-up designed to clear stagnation, open the channels, and help you catch the wind that’s already waiting for you.

I’m back! I’ll be seeing patients again for acupuncture and herbs starting this week on Monday, Weds and Friday! This maternity leave has been wonderful🥰! I such a great birth, a full 40 days of recovery, and it all ended on a Mother’s Day beach day where I got to introduce Djuna to the water! A bit late, but my full heart is sending so much love to all the moms, the people who want to be moms, the people who love moms and the people who take care of their moms.

I am so excited to share that I have a beautiful new baby girl! Her name is Djuna Jonquil!

I had an amazing birth experience and have had a rejuvenating and restful postpartum! I have rested in bed a lot, breastfed a lot, done a few kegels, and answered fewer phone calls and texts (I’m sorry if I’ve let you slip through the cracks!). I have been following my own postpartum advice to rest for the first 40 days after birth.

So to honor that, on exactly 40 days after I birthed Djuna into the world, I will start seeing patients again! It’s the day after Mother’s Day. Come see me, I’ve missed you!!!

I will be working on a slightly altered schedule as I feel out this new life dynamic. Please let me know if you would like treatment and my new schedule does not accommodate you. I will try to find a time that works.

Starting Monday May 13, my new schedule at The Spot Acupuncture and Herbs will be:

Monday: 10am-2pm

Wednesday:2pm-7pm

Friday: 10am-2pm

I’ve been seeing a lot of clients with anxiety lately. Even the most grounded and self aware patients have been noticing they are more anxious. It made me curious about the question, "what does current research show about East Asian Medicine and Anxiety?"

Acupuncture has been documented in scientific literature as being effective for reducing anxiety of many different causes. From chronic anxiety to more situational anxiety, the scientific body of evidence is convincing. Acupuncture works! I wrote a blogpost about this. Head over to my link to read more!

I wrote a new blog post about sleep. So many people find it elusive and it is such an important factor in people's health. Sleep deprivation can be one of the first steps on the road to chronic illness, and it can also be one of the most important steps back on the road to health. If you're finding it hard to sleep, read my blog post. Also, book an appointment!

Acupuncture and Herbs can Help Sleep- Acupuncture and Herbs can Help Trouble sleeping? You're not alone. Between 30-40% of Americans experience insomnia every year. Not only can it make you feel, grog

The Spot Acupuncture is 1 year old! It's been an exciting year! I moved across the country with my little family, started The Spot, and have walked with many patient's on their health journey. Thank you to all my patients for allowing me to be a part!

On year 2, I am streamlining my checkin/out process so I can spend more time treating patients and making the perfect herbal formulas.

So here is my gift to you: Get $10 off your next session when you tell me "Happy Birthday"!
