Keeping your FEET WARM is essential for nurturing your UTERUS!

🌸 Why Warm Feet Matter for Reproductive Health:

1. Improves Blood Flow – Warm feet help ensure proper circulation to the pelvic area, supporting healthy menstrual cycles.
2. Prevents Energy Loss – Cold feet can weaken the body’s core energy, leading to issues like painful periods, low libido, or fatigue.
3. Protects Against Cold Stagnation – Cold can settle in the lower body, causing cramps, irregular cycles, or fertility problems.

🌟Remember, we always want to make sure we are creating a WARM, COZY HOME for the FETUS.

✨Embracing this simple practice can be a lovely way to take care of your body and enhance your reproductive health ✨

🌸 The Breastfeeding Journey: A Rollercoaster of Emotions.

Today was the last day I breast-fed my two year old son.

Breastfeeding is often portrayed as a beautiful, natural experience—and while it absolutely can be, it’s also a journey filled with highs and lows. Some days, it’s a peaceful bonding moment. Other days, it’s exhaustion, frustration, and tears (from both mom and baby).

My personal breast-feeding journey was a roller coaster. indeed. It was full of frustration, sometimes tears, cabbage leaves compresses, Chinese herbal teas at the beginning, but we ended strong with lots of Oxytocin filled cuddles 💕.

That being said… motherhood isn’t about perfection. It’s about love, nourishment, and doing what’s best for you and your baby. Whether you breastfeed, pump, supplement, or formula-feed, Fed is Best. 💖

✨ Warm vs. Raw Diet: Why Warm Foods Matter ✨

While raw foods are nutrient-packed and vibrant, warm, cooked foods hold a special place in promoting comfort, balance, and nourishment—especially during colder months.

🍲Why Warm Foods?

1️⃣ Easier Digestion: Cooking breaks down food, making it gentler on your digestive system and easier to absorb nutrients.
2️⃣ Boosts Energy: Warm meals are easier for your body to metabolize, helping conserve energy for healing and activity.
3️⃣ Balances Your Body: ☯️ In Traditional Chinese Medicine, warm foods support your inner “digestive fire,” promoting overall well-being.

🍎 When to Choose Raw?
Raw foods are perfect for warm summer days, when most of the fruits and vegetables are in season. Think about what you would eat, if your local supermarkets didn’t get shipped produce from out of state and out of the country.

🧘‍♀️ Listen to your body.
On chilly days, a bowl of soup or a stew might just feel better than a cold salad. Your health is all about balance and tuning into what feels right for you.

Providing our patients with personal diet and lifestyle advice is a big part of our practice.

📝 Let us know if you have any questions or would like to know more about what can be more beneficial for your health according to Chinese Medicine.

🌸 Say Goodbye to Painful Periods with Acupuncture 🌸

Cramps, bloating, mood swings… painful periods can disrupt our life, but we have been told that it’s normal, it’s just part of being a female.
Well… Chinese medicine has a different opinion on this.
Acupuncture offers a natural way to find relief and restore balance to your cycle. Here’s how it works:

✨ 1. Relieves Pain
Acupuncture stimulates specific points to release endorphins—your body’s natural painkillers—while improving blood flow to the uterus to ease cramping and tension.

🌿 2. Reduces Inflammation
It helps lower inflammation in the body, which can contribute to painful periods, making your cycle feel smoother and less intense.

🩸 3. Regulates Blood Flow
Acupuncture promotes healthy blood circulation in the pelvic area, helping to reduce clots and alleviate cramps during your period.

💆‍♀️ 4. Balances Hormones
By calming the nervous system and supporting hormonal balance, acupuncture can address PMS symptoms like mood swings and fatigue, leaving you feeling more in control.

✨ Painful periods don’t have to be your norm! Acupuncture provides a holistic, side-effect-free solution to regulate your cycle.

Taking care of mothers postpartum is something that is especially dear to my heart.

So often these days the focus gets shifted to the baby when they are born, and mothers don’t get as much attention and support as when they were pregnant.

Being a first time mom myself I feel honored to be able to provide support to postpartum women during those crucial first months.

Let’s not forget:
IT’S NOT JUST THE BABY WHO IS BORN, A MOTHER IS BORN AT THE SAME MOMENT TOO.
