Your luteal phase is not your enemy.

It’s your monthly invitation to slow down and tune in. 🌙 But nobody taught you this.

Instead, you learned to push through, caffeinate through, and hate your body for “betraying” you every month.

Here’s what I want you to understand: Your luteal phase symptoms aren’t character flaws. They’re your nervous system saying “we’ve been in overdrive for weeks and need to discharge some of this energy.”

The rage? That’s unexpressed boundaries trying to surface.

The tears? That’s your heart processing what your mind has been too busy to feel.

The exhaustion? That’s your body asking for the rest you’ve been postponing.

Western medicine wants to medicate these signals away.

Chinese medicine wants to understand what they’re telling us about your overall constitution and lifestyle.

When your luteal phase is supported:

You feel grounded instead of scattered.
Your emotions feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
Your energy shifts naturally instead of crashing.
Your period arrives without drama.
This is the difference between managing PMS and optimizing your cycle.

Your body isn’t broken. Your luteal phase isn’t punishment. You just need someone who understands the language your hormones are speaking.

Back-to-School Reset Special:
🍂 $100 off hormone balancing consultation
🍂 $25 off follow-ups through September

Ready to work WITH your cycle instead of against it?

I see these lies destroying women’s trust in their own bodies every single day.

You walk in with legitimate concerns and walk out questioning your own reality. Meanwhile, your symptoms get worse because no one is actually listening to what your body is trying to say.

Here’s what breaks my heart: By the time women find me, they’ve often stopped advocating for themselves. They’ve been dismissed so many times they start dismissing themselves.

But your body has been telling the truth this whole time.

That exhaustion isn’t laziness. That pain isn’t weakness. Those “weird” symptoms aren’t you being dramatic.

Your body is communicating—we just need someone who speaks the language.

Chinese medicine doesn’t gaslight. We investigate. We listen. We treat the root, not just the symptom that’s convenient to address.

Back-to-School Reset Special:
🍂 $100 off your initial consultation (where we actually listen for 90 minutes)
🍂 $25 off follow-ups through September
Because you deserve healthcare that believes you from day one.

Tell me: Which of these lies have you been told? Drop a comment—I want to validate every single experience. Your story matters. 👇

I need to say this louder for the women in the back: Debilitating period pain is NOT your destiny.

But here’s what happens: You tell your doctor your periods knock you out for 2-3 days. They hand you birth control or tell you to take more ibuprofen. End of conversation.

Meanwhile, Chinese medicine is over here like: “Tell me about your sleep, your stress, your digestion, your emotional patterns...” Because your period pain isn’t just about your uterus. It’s about your entire system crying out for balance.

The truth bomb: Your menstrual cycle is your monthly report card on your overall health. Pain is your body’s way of saying something needs attention, not numbing.

Here’s what I see every day in my practice:
Women who thought they’d always be “period people” experiencing pain-free cycles
Cramps disappearing when we address underlying inflammation.

Energy returning when we support the organs that make your hormones.

Your body isn’t against you. It’s trying to communicate with you.

And Chinese medicine?

We speak that language fluently.

Ready to listen to what your body is really saying?

Tell me in the comments: What would you do with 2-3 extra pain-free days every month? ✨

08/16/2025

Your body is screaming for support, but you keep whispering “I’m fine.” 💔

I see you, mama. I see you pushing through period pain because there’s no time to slow down. I see you carrying everyone else’s needs while your own hormones are in chaos. I see you Googling symptoms at 2am, wondering why your body feels like a stranger.

Here’s what they don’t tell you: Your body isn’t broken. The system is.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that struggle is normal, that “managing” symptoms is enough, that asking for help is weakness. But what if I told you that your exhaustion, your pain, your hormonal chaos. It’s all your body’s way of saying “I need MORE support, not less”?

Chinese medicine sees what Western medicine misses: You’re not a collection of symptoms to manage. You’re a whole human worthy of deep, nourishing care.

Your nervous system doesn’t need another supplement to “optimize.” It needs acupuncture that actually listens. Your womb doesn’t need another band-aid solution. It needs ancient wisdom that honors your cycles.

This is your permission slip to stop earning your rest and start receiving it.

You don’t have to wait until you’re “bad enough” to deserve care. You don’t have to prove your pain is valid. You just have to be brave enough to choose yourself.

This is the perfect time to reset before the holiday chaos begins.

Back-to-School Nervous System Reset:
🍂 $100 off your initial visit
🍂 $25 off follow-ups through September
Because when everyone else’s schedule gets crazy, your body needs extra support, not extra pressure.

🌕 Your inner summer is here.
Ovulation. Radiance. Magnetic energy.

✨ This is a powerful time to:
— Collaborate
— Speak your truth
— Tend to relationships
— Honor your body’s vitality
— But also, not overcommit

Because while your energy is high, your body still craves balance.

And that’s where my work meets you.

At Root & Soul, we support your cycle through every phase. With tools that meet you where you are:
🌿 Acupuncture sessions to harmonize hormones + support emotional clarity
🌼 Womb-centered care to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythm

Auricular (ear) acupuncture and acupressure are a whole vibe. Especially when you have some awesome crystal earseeds to bring to the table.

After the stillness of your bleed, your body begins to bloom.

This is your inner spring—the follicular phase.
Energy rises. Creativity stirs.

It’s a beautiful time to plant new seeds—physically, emotionally, energetically.

✨ Gentle movement
✨ Light, liver-loving foods
✨ Journaling or visioning

You don’t have to leap—just begin.
What wants to grow in you right now?

06/26/2025

What if your cycle was more than just a period?

What if it was a rhythm—a sacred map—guiding you to live, rest, and create in harmony with your body?

This is the heart of cyclical living.
And it all begins in winter. Your inner winter.

When you’re bleeding, your body is in its deepest yin state—quiet, inward, soft.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is a time of blood loss, energy conservation, and emotional clearing.
It’s not the time to hustle.
It’s the time to come home to yourself.

✨ Try This During Your Bleed:

🌿 Apply Womb Rhythm oil before you rest—massage it gently into your belly and ask your womb what she’s holding
📖 Journal with the prompt:
“What can I release right now—physically, emotionally, energetically?”
🍵 Sip warm broths or ginger tea to nourish your blood, support your digestion, and offer your body the warmth it craves

You don’t need to push through.
You don’t need to “show up” the same every day.

You get to pause.
To bleed.
To be still.
To honor the shedding as sacred.

This is the beginning of Rooted Flow.

A 12-week journey to remember your rhythm, align your hormones, and live in deep partnership with your body—not in resistance to her.

✨ Comment “WINTER” if you feel this or want to begin honoring your bleed in a new way.

06/19/2025

What if your symptoms weren’t something to silence?

What if they were your womb’s way of asking for gentleness, nourishment, and rhythm?

You don’t have to walk this alone. You can root. You can rise. You can flow. Rooted Flow is open.

Let’s journey together.

06/16/2025

Feeling tired, emotional, or foggy lately?

It’s not that you’re broken.
It’s that you’re cyclical.

Your energy, mood, and even your focus aren’t meant to be the same every day—because your hormones aren’t.

When you start syncing your life with your body’s natural rhythm, everything begins to soften.

The burnout eases.
The pressure lifts.
The healing begins.

🌿 This is the foundation of Rooted Flow—a 12-week journey to align with your cycle, decode your symptoms, and finally feel supported instead of confused by your body.

✨ Early Bird ends June 16
$1255 | Includes bonus 1:1s + Womb Rhythm oil

Just 8 spots available

If your body’s been whispering for a new way…
this is your sign to listen.
