Hi, friends! I worked with quite a bit of ear acupuncture this week and I wanted to share a little about it. 😊

Auricular acupuncture treats the entire body through specific points on the ear. One of the most widely used protocols is the 5-point NADA protocol (Sympathetic, Shen Men, Kidney, Liver, Lung). It is commonly used for PTSD, addiction recovery, and trauma support because of how effectively it regulates the nervous system.

We also offer Battlefield Acupuncture, which was developed for rapid pain relief and can be very helpful for headaches and acute pain.

For children struggling with ADHD or anxiety, ear acupuncture can be a wonderful, gentle option without medication.

Sometimes we use tiny needles, sometimes small adhesive “ear seeds” that stay in place for continued stimulation.

The body is amazing. The ear is powerful. And natural medicine works.
If you’re curious, schedule online anytime. I’d love to see you soon.

Kristin, thank you for your kind words. It’s truly an honor to walk alongside couples during fertility journeys.

Secondary infertility can bring so many emotions — confusion, stress, frustration, grief. Acupuncture works by supporting the whole system: hormone regulation, improved pelvic blood flow, nervous system balance, and stress reduction.

Whether you are trying naturally or working with a reproductive specialist, acupuncture can be a beautiful complementary support.

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, know that you’re not alone.
When you’re ready, I’m here.

Cupping therapy is available at Calm Community Acupuncture and can be added to your acupuncture session!

Cupping is especially helpful for muscle tension, back and shoulder pain, headaches, and inflammation. It works by increasing circulation to tight or stagnant areas so the body can release and heal more efficiently.

One thing I really love is doing cupping right after acupuncture. It’s different than cupping alone or even cupping after massage.

Acupuncture brings a ton of blood flow to the area first — and then when we add cupping immediately after, it can really increase circulation even more. It’s next level, in my opinion!

Back-of-the-body treatments include cupping and are $85.

If you’ve been dealing with chronic tightness or pain, this combination may be exactly what your body needs.

Schedule online anytime — I’d love to help.

I’ve been practicing acupuncture for over 14 years and I can confidently say… No porcupines were harmed in the making of any treatment 😄

Real acupuncture is much more relaxing than this. In reality, the needles are hair-thin and most patients barely feel them. Many even fall asleep!

I promise...
No porcupines.
No surprises.
Just calm.

Acute neck pain can affect everything—from sleep to focus to how you move through your day.

In this treatment, we addressed an acute neck injury involving the cervical and upper thoracic spine using both acupuncture and cupping. Before placing cups, I gently massage and assess the muscles to understand where tension is being held and which areas need the most support. This helps guide a more effective, individualized treatment.

Cupping helps decompress tight tissue, improve circulation, and encourage the spine and muscles to return to a healthier alignment. While it can feel tight or slightly uncomfortable, it should never feel painful.

Healing doesn’t have to feel rushed or overwhelming—it can feel supported. If you’ve been dealing with neck pain and aren’t sure where to turn next, I’m here to help answer questions and explore options with you. 😊

When Calm Community Acupuncture first opened, we were set up like many community acupuncture clinics — recliners in a shared space, treating several people at once.

Over time, I realized I wanted something different. I wanted to be able to slow down, focus fully, and offer more comprehensive, individualized care to each patient.

Today, treatments are done one-on-one, on a massage table, with privacy and the space to truly listen to what your body needs. What hasn’t changed is my commitment to accessibility, affordability, and quality care.

This evolution has allowed me to practice in a way that feels more aligned — and to serve my patients better. Thank you to those who have been with me since the beginning - I couldn't have done it without you! 😊

I never want finances to stop someone from getting the care they need... That belief is at the core of Calm Community Acupuncture and always has been.

Too often acupuncture is out of reach for many due to high costs upwards of $100 or more per session. I want to make sure anyone can receive the benefits of acupuncture.

That's why treatments are offered on a sliding scale from $50–$75, so healing can remain accessible — without compromising care, time, or attention. If you’re struggling, in pain, or just needing support, please don’t hesitate to reach out or schedule online.

This patient came in struggling with chronic headaches, so today I’m working around the trapezius muscles.

Tightness in the neck and shoulders is a very common root of headaches. In Chinese medicine, the gallbladder and urinary bladder meridian channels run through this area and continue up into the head and brow line.

When there’s tension or stagnation here, headaches often follow. That’s why treating the back of the neck and shoulders is so important.

Acupuncture helps the body release, reset, and find balance again.

If you’re dealing with headaches and nothing else has helped, I’d love to see you.

I have seen multiple reports of new, American research that is conclusively showing that acupuncture is the BEST therapy for low back pain. I already new this but it's nice to see the proof, it has been on ABC news and now, here's an update from the NIH. Also, most medicare plans in FL cover acupuncture so check in with your provider and then come on in and let me help you with low back pain (or any other pain that you might be struggling with!)

NIH-funded study supports acupuncture needling as a safe and effective pain treatment for this group.
