Halloween hits differently as an adult, doesn't it?

When I was a kid, it was all about the candy haul and staying out as late as possible.
Now? I'm the one buying the candy, making sure my son's costume actually fits, and somehow sometimes still forgetting to carve the pumpkin until the day of.

But I love it. Even the chaotic parts.

There's something about this time of year (hopefully with the cooler weather)... the decorations, everyone being a little more playful, that just feels good. Like permission to not take life so seriously for a minute.

What does Halloween look like for you these days?

Are you going all out with decorations, taking your kids trick-or-treating, or hosting a party?

Or are you keeping it low-key and just enjoying the vibe?

I'm curious what traditions you've kept or created! Share it with me in the comments 🎃

POV: You after acupuncture gets rid of your allergies.

Finally able to breathe. No more brain fog. Ready to actually enjoy fall instead of suffering through it.

Here's the thing about allergies - they're not just annoying. They mess with your sleep, your energy, and your ability to focus. You're walking around in a haze for months because your immune system is overreacting to pollen. 😵

Acupuncture helps regulate that immune response. It reduces inflammation in your nasal passages and sinuses, which means…

➡️ less congestion
➡️ fewer headaches
➡️ clearer breathing

Most people notice a difference within 2-3 sessions. And the relief actually lasts! We're not just masking symptoms, but doing the inner work so your body heals inside and out.

Houston fall allergies are brutal (cedar, ragweed, mold spores - take your pick), but you don't have to push through them.

My son's dealt with allergies lately, and it's been rough.

Runny nose, sneezing, the whole thing. Classic Houston fall allergies.

And it reminded me - so many people don't know that acupuncture actually helps with this stuff.

It's not just for pain. Acupuncture helps…
✅ regulate your immune system (so your body stops freaking out over pollen)
✅ lessen inflammation
✅ clear sinuses
✅ and provide total, actual relief.

Cedar fever and ragweed are hitting hard right now, and if you're tired of relying on antihistamines that barely work, there are other options like:
👉 Local honey (builds tolerance to local pollen)
👉 Nasal rinses (clears out allergens)
👉 Staying hydrated (thins mucus)
👉 Acupuncture (regulates immune response)

I wrote more about it in my latest blog (link in bio)!

Because fall should be a season to enjoy - not one that takes us down with allergies!

Anyone else feeling those fall allergies kicking in AND ready to finally breathe easy?

Y’all ready? 👀

Because I am!

I've been keeping my schedule pretty light this summer. Just seeing my regulars, enjoying summer with my boys, and honestly, enjoying the slower pace.

But I'm ready to open things back up.

If you've been thinking about trying acupuncture, dealing with something that just won't quit, or you used to see me and fell off (no judgment, life happens) - now's a good time to reach out.

I've got some spots opening up, and I'd love to help you feel better and ready for the shifting seasons!

PS. I work by appointment, aligned with school hours.

Why drinking ice water in summer heat actually makes you sweat more (plus the counterintuitive foods that truly cool you down) 👇

When Houston's humidity makes you feel like you're living in a steam room, the natural instinct is to reach for ice-cold drinks & blast the air conditioning. But your body temperature keeps climbing anyway.

Western cooling methods work externally - but TCM reveals the secret is cooling from within.

Your internal heat is about balancing your body's "yin" energy that gets depleted by summer's "fire" element.

The most effective cooling foods aren't just cold - they're energetically cooling:

🍉 Watermelon - contains natural electrolytes that hydrate while clearing internal heat (not just quenching thirst temporarily like sugary drinks)
🥒 Cucumber - provides cooling moisture that penetrates deep tissues, reducing the hot, dry feeling
🌿 Mint - naturally opens your pores for efficient heat release without the energy crash of iced beverages

Combined with strategic acupuncture points, these foods become exponentially more powerful:

👉 Large Intestine 11 (LI11) - located at your elbow crease, this disperses heat throughout your body. Press for 60 seconds while sipping cucumber water.
👉 Pericardium 8 (PC8) - in your palm's center, this "cooling palace" point calms internal fire and reduces anxiety that summer heat can trigger.

These combinations don't just provide temporary relief - they teach your body to regulate temperature more efficiently throughout the season.

Summer doesn’t have to drain you — it can actually energize you, when you support your body the way it was designed to thrive (like acupuncture!) 😉

What's your favorite cooling food? 🤤

Want to eliminate seasonal fatigue and make this your most energetic season yet?

Houston's summer brings longer days but often zaps energy. Afternoon slump hits harder, sleep becomes restless, and despite sunshine abundance, vitality sometimes wanes.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer specifically affects your Heart and Small Intestine meridians, creating unique imbalances modern solutions don't address.

The solution isn't just more water or A/C – it's strategic acupressure and professional acupuncture targeting summer-specific points:
👉 Heart 8 or H8 (located on your palm) – when stimulated, cools internal heat that disrupts sleep during hot months
👉 Large Intestine 4 or LI4 (between thumb and index finger) – activates the body's natural cooling system and reduces summer headaches
👉 Stomach 36 (below the knee) – the ultimate energy point that combats humidity-induced lethargy

Professional summer acupuncture sessions work differently than other seasons – they're calibrated to your body's seasonal needs, providing:
• Enhanced circulation despite heat-induced vessel dilation
• Improved digestive function when appetite naturally decreases
• Balanced fluid distribution that prevents summer bloating
• Regulated sleep despite longer daylight hours

Treatments help my clients maintain consistent energy throughout our challenging summer months instead of the typical peaks and crashes!

If you’re ready to transform your summer experience, book your seasonal tune-up (via text/call: 281.948.2951 or the link in bio) so you can enjoy the season with more energy to spare!

This tiny spot on your hand could eliminate your need for pain relievers (and 87% of people don't know it exists)

When that sudden headache comes during your workday, nagging neck tension while driving, or unexplained body aches suddenly slow you down, do NOT reach for your medication.

Reach in to your body’s built-in relief mechanism…Large Intestine 4 (LI4)! Acupuncture's most powerful pain-fighting point 😉

• It triggers natural endorphin release.
• Works on headaches within minutes (even migraines!)
• Relieves pain anywhere in the body, not just one area
• Addresses both symptoms and underlying causes
• Activates your body's natural healing response

The secret to proper stimulation?

Find the most tender spot in that "V" region, press firmly from underneath with your thumb while applying downward pressure with your index finger. Hold for 30-60 seconds while breathing deeply.

For severe pain, you can increase pressure by using a table edge or asking someone to apply stronger pressure – though it will feel temporarily more intense, but trust me you’ll definitely feel better!
