“Drink more water” isn’t always the answer. Maybe you're drinking water all day long and you still fee thirsty and your skin is dry? Dry eyes? Is it just flowing out of your body without doing anything at all?! Hey in LA, we need more than this.

Sometimes your body doesn’t need more water… it needs help absorbing it.

That’s where “eating your water” comes in, getting hydration from foods that already contain fluids + electrolytes your body can actually use.

Think:
🥒 cucumber
🍉 watermelon
🍊 citrus
🥬 leafy greens
🍲 broths

If you feel:
• thirsty but not satisfied
• bloated from drinking water
• dry but not craving fluids

This approach can make a big difference. More questions? We have answers!

We are passionate about navigating complex health issues and pain.

Cupping isn’t just for muscle tension—it’s one of our favorite tools for lingering colds and congestion! For acute colds, you will be seen straight away with the proper precautions in place. We can help you beat this!

After a cold, it’s common to feel like something is still “stuck”—in your chest, throat, sinuses, or upper back.

Cupping helps:
• open the chest
• move lingering phlegm
• support your lungs
• relieve that heavy, congested feeling

It’s simple, effective, and often exactly what your body needs to fully clear things out.

If your cold is not almost over but you’re not quite back to yourself, this is a great place to start.

Come say hi!

It's no way to start a day!

If your first steps out of bed feel like you’re stepping on a tack, you may be dealing with plantar fasciitis... one of the most common causes of heel pain.

Plantar fasciitis isn’t just a “foot issue.” It’s often connected to tight calves, overuse, biomechanics, and even overall stress on the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we look at both the local pain and the whole-body pattern, correcting pain where you feel it, AND the source of what is causing it.

How acupuncture can support plantar fasciitis:
• Calms inflammation
• Increases circulation to the heel
• Releases tight calves and fascia
• Eases pain naturally
• Supports long-term recovery

What We Recommend Alongside Treatment:
• Gentle calf and plantar fascia stretching, especially before and after exericise - but only to 70% of your max.
• Wearing supportive footwear, even at home (yes, supportive slippers count!)
• Rolling your foot on tennis ball (a cold can during the acute phase can ease pain, but switch to heat as soon as possible)
• Staying consistent with care, early treatment often leads to faster improvement.

We are here to answer your questions!

INSOMNIA CHALLENGE

Step 1: Choose a book (something inspiring instead of extremely exciting is best)
Step 2: Put your phone to bed in another room 2 hours before you want to be asleep (also, no more fluids!!!)
Step 3: Read your book until you feel sleepy and enjoy!
Repeat for 2 weeks and reap the rewards!

Protip: set up 2 sound machines on low in different parts of the room to create a fuzzy sound blanket (air purifiers work too!)

Send to a friend or family member who you know needs some support with this challenge!

People often ask - how does acupuncture work? How does cupping work?

Well, there are many theories.

But, on the most basic level of understanding, when you stimulate the body to heal, it WANTS TO HEAL.

Knowing how to do that is an art and a science, however, YOUR BODY does the work. Your body already has everything it needs to regulate, harmonize and heal.

A blank space, yours to fill.

Our practitioners are trained in whole health care - one of the main differences between Eastern and Western Medicine. Here we focus on prevention and catching disease early. Through supporting the body's various systems (digestive, immunity, reproductive and so much more) alone and together, the body does what it does best - heal! In the right environment and with the right support, anything is possible.

Come on in and tell us what's up.

😖 Constantly running to the bathroom? Waking up multiple times a night to p*e? Leaking at the most inopportune times?

Frequent urination.
Urgency.
Weak stream.
Bladder infections that keep coming back.
Incontinence when you laugh, cough, or sneeze.

These aren't just annoying, they're signs that your Bladder and Kidney systems need support. Sadly, so many of these symptoms have become normalized as more and more women accept them as their fate.

Acupuncture helps by:
● Strengthening the Kidney and Bladder systems
● Reducing inflammation and urgency
● Supporting pelvic floor function
● Addressing chronic infections at the root

You shouldn't have to plan your life around bathroom access. Let's fix this. Call us to set up a free consult - I'm sure you have questions!

What does Acupuncture feel like? Does it hurt?

This is one of the most common questions we hear, and a natural one! The honest answer is that acupuncture is surprisingly gentle. Acupuncture needles are extremely thin (about the width of a hair) and solid, not hollow like injection needles. In fact, you can fit 30(!) acupuncture needles into one blood drawing needle!

Most people feel little to nothing as they’re placed. When you do feel something, it’s usually subtle: a light pinch, warmth, a spreading or heavy sensation, or a soft ache that quickly settles. Almost like someone is applying light pressure. Many patients are surprised by how calm and grounded they feel once the needles are in... chances of taking a nap are high!

It’s very common to feel deeply relaxed, floaty, or even fall asleep during a session. If you’re needle-averse or sensitive, that’s okay too, we adjust technique, depth, and point selection so the experience feels safe and supportive. In fact - one of our top priorities is that you are comfortable on the table - we leave you with a call button so you can ask a question anytime!

Still have questions? Book a free consult and we're happy to walk you through it to see if Acupuncture is right for you!
