Ah, the arrival of Spring. Warmer weather, nice breezes, and plenty of pollen to go around – causing bothersome and even debilitating symptoms, such as itchy red eyes, sneezing, cough, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, fatigue and scratchy throat.

But as the beginning of this year’s allergy season coincides with yet another increase in coronavirus infections, it's important to know what your symptoms really mean. Read on for answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about allergies, the coronavirus and vaccines.

Please keep in mind that as research into the virus and vaccines continues, guidance may change.

What does beauty mean to you? For me, beauty is everything that brings hope and inspiration to humanity. It's interwoven with our human experience – if we pay attention.

From nature to kindness to laughter, beauty matters for our well-being. Read more on my new blog.

Recently my husband and I did a fantastic hike on the west side of Mount Hood. The views were stunning, wild flowers filled the open meadows, ravens soared above on the thermals.

The translation of ‘An Sheng’ from two Chinese characters is: balance, peace and harmony.

You may never have thought of acupuncture in those terms before, but that's my job – to find out what the imbalances are, what systems are involved, and then to guide the body, through acupuncture, to help the body restore itself to balance.

When there is balance, there is harmony, and therefore physical and mental peace as well. Read more on my blog, and get in touch to see if acupuncture is right for you.
