Sacred Pause: Acupuncture & Sound Healing 🐍✨

As we step into the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Wood Snake, I’m thrilled to be back at Tribe Baltimore this Sunday at 5 PM for a Sacred Pause—a powerful fusion of acupuncture and sound healing with Lola Manekin, Stephanie Johnson & David Martin Yoga.

This 2-hour experience is all about deep restoration, alignment, and renewal—no yoga or meditation experience needed. Lola, like me, is a licensed acupuncturist, and David, a yoga and sound healing teacher, will guide us through a vibrational journey of gongs, chimes, and crystal bowls to bring balance and clarity.

✨ No physical movement required—just come as you are, ready to receive.

Sacred Pause is an invitation to step out of the rush and into stillness, to ground, realign, and gather your spirit as we move into the energy of the Wood Snake—a year of wisdom, transformation, and flow.

💫 What to Expect:
✔ Acupuncture to harmonize the body’s energy
✔ Sound healing to soothe the nervous system
✔ Guided meditation to open the heart & mind
✔ A space to release, restore & reconnect

Healing in community is powerful. When we come together with intention, we amplify each other’s healing and ripple that energy outward.

Join us for this deeply nourishing evening—a chance to pause, reset, and step into the new year with clarity and intention.

Sacred Pause: Acupuncture Meets the Healing Power of Sound

As the year draws to a close, it’s easy for our energies to feel scattered, pulled in countless directions by the transitions, reflections, and demands of the season. Sacred Pause is an invitation to step out of the rush and into a deeply restorative moment—a chance to ground, realign, and gather your spirit before the new year unfolds.

This experience is a unique fusion of sound healing and acupuncture, designed to bring you back to center. We’ll begin with a gentle guided meditation, opening the heart and mind to stillness. From there, carefully selected acupuncture points are placed to harmonize the body’s meridian flow, while the resonant waves of gongs, chimes, and crystal bowls envelop you. As the sounds guide you into a state of calm clarity, the energy work releases tension and restores inner balance.

In times like these, coming together in groups to heal creates a ripple effect that extends far beyond the individual, nurturing the collective and anchoring a shared sense of peace and resilience. As we heal side by side, we amplify each other’s intentions and raise the energetic field of our communities.

Your guides for this journey will be Lola Manekin and Stephanie Johnson—The Needle Whisperers—and David Martin—The Gong Whisperer. Together, they will hold a sacred space for healing, leading you into a deep state of relaxation and reconnection with your truest self.

Whether you seek peace, reflection, or simply a sacred pause, this experience provides a sanctuary for reconnection and renewal at this powerful juncture of the year.

Tell me, how are YOU really doing?

I mean it, friend. How are you feeling right now?

It’s okay to feel BIG emotions — honor those feelings. They’re powerful reminders that you’re truly alive, experiencing the full spectrum of being human. We’re meant to feel deeply, not to stuff it down or numb ourselves. These big emotions — they’re part of your body’s wisdom, guiding you to listen closely.

Whether it’s sadness, anger, joy, or something else entirely, all of it is normal. But sometimes those emotions get so big, they feel like they’re taking over. When those intense feelings show up as:

➙ Anger
➙ Grief
➙ Fear
➙ Worry
➙ Anxiety

…it might be time to check in with your body. Where do you feel those emotions? What sensations arise?

Our bodies hold so much of what we feel — jaw pain, neck and shoulder tension, migraines, an uneasy stomach, and even panic attacks and insomnia. Each of these signals is your body’s way of asking for support.

That’s why I created Finding Peace in Chaos, an 8-week series starting November 11.

This series is a safe, supportive space for you to reconnect, release, and find calm. Each week, we’ll gather on Zoom for grounding practices, energy healing, and tools to help you process these big emotions and build resilience.

Whether you join us live or watch the recording, know you’ll be held in community.

✨ You’re welcome to join the full series or drop into individual sessions as you need. This is your time to step back, listen to your body, and let your inner light shine again.

If you’re feeling out of sync, please reach out. We’re here for you, always.

💫 Click the link below to register for Finding Peace in Chaos.
Let’s move through this season of change together.

Sending you so much love and strength. ❤️

P.S. Hanging with my people this weekend was a powerful reminder that we're all in this together.

As I sit here, I’m not okay.

I’m disappointed. Shocked. Grieving deeply for the state of our country.

My usual response to trauma is to keep moving, barely acknowledging what just happened. I blink, push emotions aside, and go straight into survival mode, trying to figure out how to move forward as my entire body sounds the alarm.

But this time, I know it’s different.

It’s time to do the deep work, to let these feelings be felt, not buried.

This isn’t about “staying positive” or “moving on.” Not yet.

We’re here to honor our anger, our sadness, and our bewilderment. And we’re here to build resilience, not by bypassing our feelings but by acknowledging them, honoring them, and letting them guide us toward real change.

We don’t have to go through this alone.

Some of us feel ready to fight; others may need time to process.

However long it takes, know that it’s okay to feel exactly what you feel right now.

That’s why I created Finding Peace in Chaos — a space for us to process, to sit with each other in our rawness, and to find a path forward together.

It starts this Monday, November 11th. Join one session or them all. Click the link below to register.

Together, we can find a way to move forward — grounded, connected, and strong.

Sending love and strength to each of you. We’ll rise, one step at a time.

Today feels heavy. There’s a rawness in the air.

I know many of us feel the weight of recent events, that deep, unsettling feeling of shock and uncertainty that seems to grip our bodies and minds.

It’s a lot to hold, and I want to offer a safe space for you to release, reconnect, and remember our strength — together.

I’ll be hosting an in-person acupuncture and energy healing session with the soothing resonance of singing bowls:

WHEN: TODAY, November 6th
WHERE: 3720 Farragut Ave, Ste 105, Kensington, MD
TIME: 3:30pm to 5pm

This session is here to help you release the shock before it settles into your body, preventing it from adding another layer of trauma.

I know it’s hard to see a clear path forward right now, but please remember — you have incredible support surrounding you, even if it doesn’t feel that way.

In the days ahead, we’re going to need each other more than ever. That hasn’t changed.

Connecting with community is how we reclaim our power and keep this shock from becoming embedded in our bodies or our shared consciousness.

We can do hard things and we do them best when we’re together.

Come as you are — however you feel. Together, we’ll honor our hearts and renew our strength. ❤️
