Ahhh, so many lovely moments from our first Tea & Tango series from this past weekend.🥰

We sat silently drinking tea together and took the time to slow down and reconnect with ourselves.☺️🍵Tea prepared us for movement and connecting with our bodies on a deeper somatic level. We explored connection to self and others through various tango movement practices led by Then we had some time to dance and put everything into practice!💃🏻🙌🏽

So grateful for friends-old and new that came through!!

Thank you to our friends for capturing these magical moments and to our dearest for helping us with the ins and outs throughout the day!!!🥹🙏🏼✨We are soooo grateful!

For those of you who couldn’t make the first one, stay tuned for our next series of Tea & Tango: February 8th! More info coming soon!🤗🤍

Sitting still was always difficult for me. Growing up with undiagnosed neurodivergence and anxiety, I found grounding through movement-ways to connect with my body and focus my mind.

Somatic based practices like Yoga, Tango, and Tea Rituals were foundational and continue to be medicine for my mind, body and spirit.🙏🏼

Tango feels like mindfulness in motion- a dance that continues to teach me about inhabiting my body, listening, and connecting subtly with others.

Tea ceremony (Cha Dao) invites stillness through ritual. A gentle doorway inward for someone who doesn’t naturally sit still. The ritual of tea ceremony gives my restless mind something to hold, inviting me inward without force.

Exploring these two practices together has been a joy and life altering in some ways, and I’m excited to co-host 🪷💃🏻Tea + Tango-an exploration of MOVEMENT, MEDITATION, CONNECTION, and PRESENCE THIS ✨Sunday January 18th, 1-4pm✨ with my dear friend

Hope you’ll join us 🖤🫂

Mood 2026🙏🏼🤍

Reflections 2025✨

The last quarter of the year was intentionally quieter and restful. My greater intention for 2025 was to rly allow myself to slow down, say no more, and honor my boundaries. Not always easy, but Ive been working on listening to my body more and what feels right vs what things should look like…

So I spent the last days in 2025 in a true Winter wonderland and rested deeply, cooked, and enjoyed the quietness and slower pace this season provides.

I find that Winter is the perfect time to mentally prepare for the season ahead by resting, introspection, sleeping more, and planting the seeds for Spring and beyond.

Mood 2026✨

The actual new years according to the lunar calendar doesn’t start until Feb 17th, but understandably the start of the new year can be very exciting or daunting for some.

No fret tho, this is not the time for action but for continued rest and restoration. For now, continue to shed the old skins🐍 ( 2025 is Snake year) to process, and decide how we want to move into this new year. 2026 is year of the Fire horse- it’s all about action, moving forward boldly and with intention. It’s about making moves!!🔥🔥🔥

Until then, plant your seeds, rest your bones and enjoy these slower Winter months to continue nurturing your Kidney yang energy and build up those resources!

Happy New Years, Everybody❄️

Winter Solstice🤍

As Winter approaches, and the days grow shorter and the nights colder, I’ve come to appreciate the wisdom each season brings. Winter forces me to slow down, go inwards, and conserve my energy. The more I resist, the more depressed I feel trying to move at a pace that is not in alignment with nature itself. Winter is one of nature’s greatest seasonal resets.

The Winter Solstice marks the peak of yin energy (cold, dark, still )in East Asian medicine. Yet in this peak of yin is the seed of yang( warmth, light, expansion ), and it is s l o w l y making its return!

🕯️Rituals to Celebrate the Winter Solstice:

🤍Reflect: Journal, meditate, take time to be still and reflect. What seeds will I plant for this next chapter?

🤍Rest: There’s a reason bears and animals hibernate during the Winter months. They’re preserving their resources for the active seasons ahead. We can learn from nature this way:)

🤍Light: Light a candle symbolizing the rebirth of yang-the light within the dark ( yin). Set an intention and trust that lightness is on its way!

🤍Movement: The water element that dominates Winter, reminds us to never force and to go with the flow. Practice qi gong or mindful movement to keep that qi flowing honoring the elements and nature cycles.

🤍Tea: Enjoy warming pu’ers and roasted oolongs which are my favorites this time of the year to warm yang and celebrate the Solstice.

Sending everyone Solstice blessings and ease this Holiday-Winter Season! 🦢✨🌞🖤🤍✨

It was the sweetest lil Sunday afternoon meditating, sharing tea and practicing qi gong with a really lovely and open hearted group of folks.🥰

The intention was to slow down and allow for pause as we prepare for the new year and new season ahead of us, and we did just that!☺️🦢✨

Feeling “full” after yesterday’s sit, and I’m excited to share more tea ceremonies with you in the year to come!🫶🏼

Hi friends!🤍

As many of you know, drinking and exploring tea is one of my greatest hobbies and joys in life.🫠✨🤗

Another form of tea drinking I’ve been practicing is a more ritualistic ceremonial practice that I’ve been cultivating for the last decade, and I’m excited to share it with my friends and community!

It’s meditative and insightful, and a beautiful way to connect with the elements, nature, and ultimately a way to deepen connection with ourselves and one another. ( At the end of the day isn’t that what it’s about?!)

I invite you to join my fellow tea enthusiast .bodywork and I on 💛Sunday Dec 14th, 10:30-12 for our first Tea + Qi Cultivation Practice!

What:

We will begin by learning some fundamental practices of Qi Gong (the ancient Chinese tradition of energy cultivation) and then sit together for a meditative tea ceremony. This is a unique opportunity to set time aside for working with your body and mind in movement and stillness, and to enjoy the art of sharing tea.

Where: Private Location in Long Beach, Ca.

In traditional Chinese medicine, Winter is dominated by the water element ( kidneys). Tonifying the kidney yin, yang, and jing are essential during this Winter season to preserve our resources for the lighter and more active seasons to come.

The kidneys are said to be the “root of life”. Our life essence, also known as jing, is stored in our kidneys. It is the essence of who we are. It is the substance inherited at birth, and its conservation is essential for a long and healthy life.

Kidney yang is responsible for metabolic function, keeping our body temperature regulated, and warms and promotes the functions of the organs.

Kidney yin is associated with blood, and bodily substances. Good sleep, avoiding burn out, and sufficient rest nourishes kidney yin.

🤍Tips to Tonify Kidney-Water Element this Winter Season:

🦢Foods to Nourish the Kidneys: Focus on warm, cooked, moistening foods such as nourishing soups, bone broths, root veggies, black sesame, and lamb.

🦢Go to Bed Early: We need more sleep during Winter months to recharge our vital resources. Try to be in bed by 10, and wake with the sun. Nap if you’re feeling tired.

🦢Reduce Cold Exposure: We are more susceptible to getting sick in the colder months, injuring yang. Cold invasion can lead to dryness, sickness, stiffness, etc. Avoid cold foods, long exposure to cold, and going to bed with wet hair.

🦢Kindle Internal Yang to Warm the Whole Body: Enjoy hot baths, warm herbal foot soaks, saunas, and hot yoga ( most appropriate time of the year to practice) to support kidney Yang.

🦢Movement: There is a propensity for stagnancy when it’s cold. Cold naturally constricts, tightens, and slows things down. Movement is the key to healthy circulation & flow. Incorporate self daily massage with warm oils and movement that encourages a light sweat.

🦢Cultivate Inner Stillness: Fear “injures” the kidneys. Avoid overexertion and focus on practices that cultivate inner peace and stillness like meditation or spending time in nature to mobilize jing and promote peace of mind.

Yin energy is steadily increasing as the seasonal shift from Fall to Winter is gradually making its way. As we cultivate our harvest from Fall, Winter is the perfect time to rest and restore our reserves for the season ahead.🦢

In Chinese Medicine, Autumn🍂belongs to the Metal element, connecting us to the Lungs + Large Intestine-the organs that teach us how to take in what nourishes and let go of what no longer serves.

🍂Fall is about creating space for clarity and clearing out the clutter.🍁 What have we been resisting, and are ready to let go?

On the other hand, Winter❄️is governed by the water element, connecting us to the Kidney + Urinary Bladder system.🌊

The water element ( Winter) invites us to move even deeper within as Yin is at its utmost peak facilitating that inward journey naturally towards more stillness. In that stillness there is something powerful that emerges…

🍄‍🟫Thoughts to meditate on during this seasonal shift:

🕊️”How can I rest more and what can I do to nourish myself to cultivate inner/outer stillness?”

🕊️Or taking time to reassess, “what are my priorities during this shift as we move forward into the new year/season.”

Trusting this finds you all well, friends🙏🏼🕊️🦢🤍
Share your thoughts if you please, would love to hear from youuu☺️

I often have memories of my grandmother scolding my sisters and I when we were kids running about outside, to keep ourselves covered up! She was adamant about covering our belly buttons and keeping our feet warm. She said we wouldn’t be able to have kids if we didn’t. It made no sense to me as a child, but later on while in acupuncture school, I learned that the wisdom my grandmother shared with me was actually rooted in traditional East Asian medicine.

Channel theory explains that cold and wind can easily invade the channels. The channels are much like pathways in which disease can enter the body. The channels are also pathways for healing.🩶

Cold impacts the womb, and is one of the main causes of infertility in Chinese Medicine. The kidneys, the liver, and the spleen channel are organ systems that play a major role in fertility and menstruation as well. These specific channel pathways flow from the feet and into the uterus. Hence why keeping the feet and belly warm is so important to keep the channel free from obstruction and disease.

So here are a few Tips I learned from my grandmother to keep your womb warm:

1) Drink warm / room temperature water.
2) Avoid eating cold leftover food and iced drinks.
2) Keep your belly and feet warm by covering them up.
3) Warming spices like ginger and cinnamon aid in blood flow and circulation to support a warm womb.

3rd Eye Point✨👁️✨

Yin Tang- 3rd Eye Point is located midway between the eyebrows also known as Ajna Chakra. It is known in Eastern medicine and more esoteric traditions as a powerful point associated with intuition and spiritual insight.

In East Asian medicine, it is commonly used to calm an overactive mind. Due to its proximity to the pineal gland, it has an effect on the hormonal system as well as sleep cycles ( used for insomnia and anxiety) as the pineal gland plays a major role in communicating neural messages into hormonal responses that affect various bodily functions.

I notice immediate tension relief when I needle this point on myself and my patients. It seems to calm an anxious mind and reduces overall tension.

Have you experienced this during your acupuncture or meditation session? I’d love to hear your response!
