I often hear jokingly, "Sure, I tried acupuncture. What could it hurt?"

There's a difference between interest and training.

There are some well meaning people "acupuncturing."
I don't think they know acupuncture can be done poorly.

Remember the Tulsa lady who was performing dentistry out of an apartment?

Or the woman who was microblading eyebrows in her garage? 😱

Safe acupuncture isn't just about cleanliness and knowing anatomy.
It's also about point selection.

Any modality that can assist with healing, can potentially harm.

If a practitioner tells you, "Acupuncture can't hurt you, it can only help."
Walk away.

You want a well trained, cautious acupuncturist.

Book with me online or by phone.
I have a deep admiration and respect for this medicine
And I'm a lifelong learner.
It's more than just an interest for me.

We don't talk about this enough.

If intimacy feels uncomfortable...
If you're experiencing dryness, burning, or ittiation...
if s*x feels different than it used to...

You're not alone.
And it is not "just aging"

Vaginal dryness during perimenopause and menopause is often tied to:
🚨 hormonal shifts
🚨 reduced circulation
🚨 stress overload
🚨 inflammatory patterns

And when left untreated, many women simply avoid intimacy altogether.

Which affects relationships.
Confidence.
Identity.

Acupuncture improves pelvic circulation, supports hormone regulation, and reduces strss signaling -- all of which influence tissue health and comfort.

This is medical.
Not embarassing.

If this is affecting your quality of life, let's address it.
Book online or by phone.
Comfort matters!

It's not "3 times a week for 12 weeks"

It's a rhythm.

We assess:
sleep
digestion
cycle timing
pain patterns
stress load
energy fluctuations

Often:
The first 3-5 visits are weekly.
Adjusting as patterns shift.
Tracking objective changes.
Building up to a state where the body feels more...free.

You should feel:
clearer
steadier
sleeping deeper
recovering faster
less reactive.

We collaborate.
We refine.
We measure progress.

Then, you may find monthly "acupuncture tune ups" become part of your wellness and prevention plan.

Everyone's needs are different.

Once we find YOUR rhythm, we use it.
Let's find it together.

Spring is the season of expansion!

💥Movement!
💥 Growth!
💥 Sexual Energy!
💥 Creation!

But libido doesn't rise just because the weather changes.
It rises when your entire system is supported -- nervous system, hormonal system, metabolic system, musculature system.

Low libido often overlaps with:
👉Chronic stress
👉 poor sleep
👉 hormone fluctuation
👉 pelvic tension
👉 digestive sluggishness
👉 resentment you haven't named

You can't force desire.

You regulate TOWARD it.

When cortisol is high, libido drops.
When estrogen fluctuates, sensitivity changes.
When you're exhausted, arousal is not a priority.

Libido isn't just about mood.
It's physiology.

And ignoring it long term affects:
Relationships.
Self-confidence.
Emotional intimacy.
Mood stability.

We stabilize:
Hormonal timing.
Pelvic circulation.
Stress psysiology
Inflammatory tone.

When the system softens, desire returns naturally.

If something feels muted that used to feel alive, let's talk.

Vitality is not frivolous
It's a sign of regulation. 🙌

If your hands tingle at night...
If you shake them out in the morning...
If gripping a coffee mug feels weaker than it used to...

That's not just typing.

That's nerve compression layered over inflammation.

Carpal tunnel often shows up in people who:

🔸 work long hours on devices
🔸 grip tightly under stress
🔸 sleep poorly
🔸 have hormonal shifts (especially perimenopause)
🔸 carry upper body tension constantly

The median nerve doesn't get irritated in isolation.

It gets compressed when:
1️⃣ Tissue swells
2️⃣ Circulation stagnates
3️⃣ Stress increases inflammatory tone

You might feel:
☑ numb fingers
☑ burning in the palm
☑ forearm tightness
☑ dropping things more often
☑ waking up with dead hands

Left untreated, this progresses.

Strength decreases
fine motor control drops
surgery becomes a conversation

Acupuncture improves:
✅circulation through the wrist
✅ inflammatory load
✅ nerve signaling
✅ upstream shoulder and neck tension

Because your wrists are part of a chain

If your hands -- the tools you use to build your life -- are warning you, listen.

I just completed functional bodywork training to help women feel more comfortable in their bodies during pregnancy (and during birth). I'd love to practice on a couple women to develop my new skill, but I don't currently know anyone pregnant! If you have a friend, sister, daughter...who is pregnant, please pass my contact information along. 918-519-1163 Thank you!

A lot of people don’t feel “sick” anymore.
They just don’t feel like themselves.

If you had Covid months ago and you’re still dealing with:
👉fatigue that doesn’t match your effort
👉brain fog that slows you down
👉shortness of breath or chest tightness
👉heart palpitations
👉dizziness or “pins and needles
👉joint pain
👉sleep disruption
👉anxiety that feels new
👉digestive shifts
👉loss of taste of smell
👉skin changes

That’s not in your head.

Post-viral patterns are real. The nervous system, immune system, and circulation can stay dysregulated long after the infection clears.

I focus on restoring function – not masking symptoms

👍Improving circulation
👍calming inflammatory signaling
👍stabilizing autonomic tone
👍rebuilding stamina gradually

Recovery is not about pushing harder.

It’s about regulation.

If life still feels harder than it used to, schedule a session with me.
You don’t need to be stuck.

Fertility conversations often center on women.

But male factor contributes to nearly half of infertility cases.

-Low motility
-low morphology
-low count
-high DNA fragmentation

and what most men are told is:
“try again”
“wait”
“here’s a supplement”

S***m health reflects:
⚡inflammation
⚡heat exposure
⚡stress hormones
⚡sleep quality
⚡metabolic health
⚡toxin load

S***m regenerate every 72-90 days
which means…
change is possible

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can improve:
✅testicular blood flow
✅oxidative stress levels
✅hormonal signaling
✅stress physiology

It’s not just about masculinity
it’s about physiology
and ignoring it delays progress.

If you’re navigating fertility and haven’t addressed male factor, now is the time to schedule an appointment with me.

Proactive beats passive every time.

For many women, perimenopause is not subtle.
It can feel like your body changed the rules overnight.

Hot flashes during meetings.
Night sweats disrupting sleep.
Rage that surprises you.
Breast tenderness.
Heavier periods
Skipped periods.
Anxiety that wasn’t there before.

You’re still competent.
Still capable...

But everything costs more energy.

This is a neurological and hormonal transition.
And stress makes it louder.
Modern lifestyle...makes it louder.

Left unregulated, symptoms often escalate.
Sleep worsens
Irritability increases
Cycles become more erratic

Eastern medicine has supported women through this transition for thousands of years – not by suppressing symptoms or trying to reverse time, but by stabilizing the system underneath.

Here’s how I can help you:
🥰hormone regulation
🥰improving nervous system tone
🥰reducing inflammatory load
🥰harmonizing your sleep rhythm

If this season is affecting your work, relationships, or sense of self, don’t wait for it to get worse. Come see me.

This transition can be steadier than you’ve been told.

Hi, I'm Renee.

Before I ever practiced this medicine, I tried it.
And in my typical fashion,
I researched acupuncture,
EXTENSIVELY.

"There's something really great here!"
But like anesthesia, we don't really know how it works...yet.

I had my first treatment.
A trial treatment.

I was woozy when I sat up.
I can't say I noticed my symptoms improved.
But I slept very well that night.

Something changed.
Something definitely changed.
And this was just my first appointment.

And it occured to me, acupuncture is different with different Acupuncturists.
After all,
Some massage therapists are better at XYZ than others.
Some doctors are better at XYZ than others.
Some mechanics are better at XYZ than others...

I decided to learn Acupuncture myself.
"I could be really great at this."
So, I went back to school.
(more than one school actually)

If you've tried acupuncture and didn't have noticeable results,
that doesn't mean it didn't work.

It might mean you need a different Acupuncturist.

If you're feeling stuck, schedule an appointment with me.
I love the mental gymnastics.
