A few minutes to a calmer, more balanced you.

Acupressure works like tiny at-home acupuncture treatments — supporting stress relief, digestion, sleep, headaches, and more. It’s one of the simplest ways to nurture your body between visits.

Here’s a quick demo you can try right now:

3 Acupressure Points for Everyday Support

1. LI4 – Stress & Headache Relief
• Location: The soft web between your thumb and index finger.
• How to use it: Apply firm pressure in tiny circles for 30–60 seconds on each hand.
• Why it helps: Releases tension, calms the nervous system, and can ease headaches.

2. ST36 – Energy & Digestion
• Location: About three finger-widths below the kneecap, just to the outside of the shinbone.
• How to use it: Press gently but steadily while breathing slowly for 1 minute.
• Why it helps: Supports digestion, boosts energy, and strengthens immune function.

3. SP6 – Sleep & Anxiety Support
• Location: Three finger-widths above the inner ankle bone, along the inside of the leg.
• How to use it: Press with the thumb and hold for 30–60 seconds on each side.
• Why it helps: Calms the mind, eases anxiety, and supports deeper sleep.

Try one… or stack all three for a full-body reset.

In TCM, foods aren’t just nutrients — they’re energetic medicine.

• Warming foods like ginger, cinnamon, and bone broth help boost sluggish digestion and circulation.

• Cooling foods like cucumber, mint, watermelon, and leafy greens help soothe heat, irritability, and inflammation.

When your food matches your body’s needs, everything flows better.

Your body tells a story — and Chinese Medicine listens closely.
Your tongue and pulse reveal early signs of imbalance before symptoms even appear.

It’s like reading a health map that shows where your body needs support long before things feel “off.”

Have you ever had your tongue or pulse read during an acupuncture visit?

What is an AcuNap?

A. A luxurious nap your body takes when tiny needles tell stress to go home.

B. The ancient practice of dreaming about snacks while pretending to meditate.

C. A relaxing nap many people naturally fall into during acupuncture as the body resets.

If you guessed C, you’re right! An AcuNap is the deep, restorative nap many patients naturally fall into during acupuncture treatments. As the nervous system relaxes and the body shifts into a parasympathetic, healing state, people often drift off and wake up feeling refreshed and calm — like a mini reset for your mind and body.

Qi Gong is often described as meditation in motion — slow, intentional movements that gently wake up the body, clear the mind, and support emotional balance.

Unlike intense workouts, Qi Gong nourishes your energy instead of depleting it. Just a few minutes a day can improve circulation, reduce stress, and help you feel grounded and centered.

It’s a beautiful practice for anyone who wants more calm, clarity, and vitality in their daily routine.

Western medicine often focuses on treating symptoms, which can be extremely effective when something urgent needs to be addressed.

Chinese Medicine takes a different perspective. Instead of only quieting the symptom, it seeks to understand why the imbalance developed in the first place.

By restoring harmony within the body — physically, emotionally, and energetically — symptoms naturally ease as true balance returns.

There’s a place for both approaches. But if you're craving a long-term solution that supports the whole body, mind, and spirit… Chinese Medicine may feel more aligned.

Did you know that your morning green smoothie might be cooling your digestion too much?

In TCM, the Spleen is the engine of digestion — it loves warmth and gentle nourishment. When we overload it with cold or raw foods, it can lead to bloating, fatigue, and sluggish metabolism.

Warm, lightly cooked foods help your Spleen Qi stay strong—think oatmeal, soups, and roasted vegetables. You can still keep your smoothies, but try using room-temperature ingredients or adding warming spices like ginger or cinnamon.

Do you feel better with warm meals or cool ones? Share in the comments?

Happy National Cat Day! They say cats choose their people — and maybe there’s more truth to that than we realize.

In Chinese folklore, cats were once considered guardians of the home’s Qi — protectors of balance and keepers of peace. Their watchful eyes were said to sense what humans could not: stagnant energy, hidden emotions, even the subtle shift of Yin and Yang in a household.

From a Chinese medicine lens, it almost makes sense. Cats embody Yin — calm, graceful, endlessly observant. They move when it’s time to move, rest when it’s time to rest, and never waste a drop of energy. Their purring? You could think of it as a vibration that harmonizes the flow of Qi, quieting the nervous system and softening tension — like a living, breathing sound bath.

So if your cat insists on sitting beside you when you’re tired, anxious, or unwell… maybe it’s not a coincidence. Maybe they’re tuning your Qi.

I'd love to hear from you if you have a cat. Does it know when you need comfort most?

Chinese herbal medicine isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all blends—it’s about precision and personalization.
Two people can have the same symptom (like headaches) and need completely different herbs depending on their body type, imbalances, and lifestyle.

That’s where working with a trained herbalist makes all the difference. I take the time to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface so we can create a custom formula that supports your body—safely, effectively, and naturally.

So if you’ve ever tried an over-the-counter “TCM” mix and thought, “Well… that didn’t do much,” this is probably why—it wasn’t made for you.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, your constitution shapes how your body responds to food, stress, and even the seasons.

Are you more Wood — driven and energetic but prone to tension? Or Earth — nurturing but easily fatigued?

Understanding your unique constitution helps tailor everything from herbs to meal choices for lasting balance.

When you work with your body’s natural tendencies, healing becomes sustainable—not just symptom relief.

Let’s clear up two of the most common myths about acupuncture — because what most people think it feels like is far from reality.

Myth: Acupuncture is painful.
Fact: The needles used in acupuncture are as thin as a strand of hair. Most people barely feel them and often describe the sensation as a gentle tap, warmth, or subtle tingling. Many patients are so relaxed they actually fall asleep during their session — we call it an 'Acu nap.'

Myth: Acupuncture is only for pain relief.
Fact: While it’s well-known for easing back, neck, and joint pain, acupuncture is also a powerful tool for overall balance. It supports your body’s natural healing processes, helping regulate stress, hormones, digestion, immunity, and sleep. In Chinese Medicine, the goal is harmony — not just symptom relief.

Each point on the body connects to an energetic pathway that influences how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally. When energy flows smoothly, everything else follows.

Those circular marks you sometimes see after cupping aren’t bruises — they’re signs of release.
Cupping therapy gently lifts the skin to draw blood flow to the surface, helping clear stagnation, ease tight muscles, and support the body’s natural detox process.

In Chinese Medicine, pain or tension often indicates that Qi and blood aren’t flowing as they should. Cupping restores that movement — releasing what’s stuck so your body can return to harmony.
Many patients describe the feeling afterward as lighter, looser, and deeply relaxed.

Have you ever experienced cupping? What did you notice afterward?
