!! mood enhancements 7 days a week !! (Tell me all your essential oil secrets. )👇🏽 Right now I’m really into “emotional aromatherapy” for all the feelings. When you need a little motivation, invigoration, passion, or peace and calm. ✨Rubbing essential oils on the wrists, temples, or heart center, as you take deep breaths for a couple of minutes, can be a great way to have a daily “check in” with your body.

A super candid photo after a morning at . At the beginning of this year I was able to be apart of one woman’s very first IVF cycle, and treat her the morning of her embryo transfer. A week or so later, I followed up via email and she said yes! “It worked!” She was moving forward on her journey. But with all of the unknowns of early pregnancy, It’s hard to predict where that journey will lead… and sometimes I never know!

This week, I’m so happy to say she is 38 weeks pregnant and we were able to meet again to prepare for baby✨

Im feeling grateful today, to be apart of so many different paths to motherhood. Using acupuncture & herbal medicine to support along the way, as I watch women overcome life’s obstacles thrown directly in their way.

Full heart opener in the middle of the chollas🌵. I have been prescribing this yoga pose to patients left & right, across the board. Constant computer at home work, curling the shoulders forward to type & obstructing energy from the heart. Don’t forget to breathe, & DO THIS DAILY if this is you.
•Relieves stress & tension
•Stretches the neck and shoulders
•Reduces anxiety
•Opens up the heart ❤️ to new experiences

books in bed on Sundays 🌞 I am about 7 years late on reading this mind opening, educational & inspiring story, but it couldn’t be more relevant to today. I started this book back in July, not knowing anything about current politics in the middle east …. before the US pulled out of Afghanistan (interesting timing). A must read to educate yourself on one women’s personal experience and willingness to die to fight for her and other women to be educated, along with many other mind blowing experiences under Taliban rule. Thank you for being a leader in women’s rights as human rights. Now, should I start a book club highlighting books about women fighting for women?!? Anyone in?! Zoom meets?

You know what I'm really freaking serious about here? Breakfast!! Flashback 2 years : Grad school plus 7 days a week work schedule Christina was all about that "morning coffee, wait until 2pm to eat anything" game. Then after I ate, I would crash and need a nap.... Realizing how much stress I was putting on my adrenals, I have been really really trying to change this cycle. (Fist bump to whoever knows how hard it is to change your eating habits.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I have a little extra time, my absolute favorite breakfast is sautéed leeks, shiitake mushrooms, spinach, scrambled eggs and a dash of parmesan...side of raspberries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your favorite breakfast routine? 🍳🫐🥬☕️

“In clinical observation, the ultrasound shows that after acupuncture, the color of women’s ovaries change from cloudy to bright and clear”. Lifang, Liang OMD, PHD, LAC

HOW COOL IS THAT.

We get 80% of our necessary Vitamin D intake though synthesis in our skin.

Although sometimes we think we are getting our adequate daily intake, with busy schedules, over applying SPF, and being inside for the past year, most women are not. This could be a major factor in trying to concieve!

Studies have shown that compared to women with deficient or insufficient Vitamin D status, women with adequate vitamin D had more live births, more positive pregnancy tests, & more clinical pregnancies. Talk to your healthcare provider to check your D levels. Take a supplement & also eat foods like fatty fish, egg yolk, & mushrooms. ☀️

Here's me being wayyy to excited under that mask about this mushroom situation last weekend. Farmers market shopping. Purchasing locally grown fruits & vegetables. Do you see these gorgeous mushies! The guy in front of me bought up the last of the lions mane, so I swooped in on a mixed bag of maitake, wood ear, oyster, shiitake & King trumpets. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is your favorite thing to buy at your local farmers market?

Acupuncture needles can be as thin as a strand of hair! They are one time use needles and are placed at different areas on the body, helping to bring energy (Qi) and blood to the point chosen by your Acupuncturist. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know there can be a lot of stress when first trying acupuncture, around what the needle sensation will feel like. Acupuncture should never hurt or cause discomfort, and can be just as effective with 2-4 needles, then with 30. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you are someone who is needle sensitive, I got you! Starting off slow and easy and allowing your body to TRUST the needles, and your Acupuncturist, is the first step in healing & I am happy to take it slowwww. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am now seeing patients in Santa Monica on Monday's from 3-7pm & and ALL DAY Thursdays. Email me to book.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Morning Greens + Shrooms! If you know me personally, you know how much I loveeee mushrooms! During college, I worked at an organic cultivated mushroom farm at the ferry building in San Francisco, where I learned all about cooking, cultivating, & the medicinal properties of mushrooms.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I started learning about herbs in Acupuncture school, Reishi (Ling Zhi) was one of the first we learned. Used for over 2,000 years, the "mushroom of immortality."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love this green powder by . It's a mix of dark leafy greens, wheat grass, and a blend of Cordyceps, Reishi, Sh*take, Maitake, and Turkey Tail Mushrooms.. add it to your daily dose of coconut water to:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍄Reduce Inflammation⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍄Mushrooms have anti-viral, anti-bacterial properties⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍄Boost Immunity⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍄Neutralize free radicals (cancer causing & cell damaging)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍄Promote mental clarity & memory⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can also cook fresh mushrooms & eat sautéed greens, but if you're not able to get those in, this is a perfect alternative.
