You don’t have to believe in acupuncture for it to work.

You can be skeptical.

You can roll your eyes.

You can even think it’s weird.

None of that changes what it does in your body.

Because acupuncture doesn’t rely on belief. It works by shifting how your nervous system, blood flow, and inflammatory response operate.

It’s been studied, measured, and mapped.

Your body isn’t waiting for your opinion. It’s just waiting for support.

Needles go in. The body responds. End of story.

Still not sure? That’s fine.

You don’t have to believe in gravity either, but I wouldn’t recommend testing it.

Healing doesn’t always have to be one-on-one.

Community Acupuncture is a small group setting where people get treated in the same room.

It’s quiet, low-key, and surprisingly effective.

You don’t need to spill your whole health history or make small talk. You show up, settle in, and let your body do what it needs to do.

And when you’re consistent, things actually start to shift.

Being in a shared space helps regulate your nervous system too—especially when you realize you’re not the only one dealing with pain or stress.

Some people assume it’s less effective because it’s not private.

It’s not.

It just works differently.

So what’s stopping you from trying it?

Wellness isn’t about retreats, juice cleanses, or perfectly color-coded morning routines.

It’s about what you choose to do every day, especially when no one’s watching.

Wellness can look like:

✨ Walking the dog instead of doom-scrolling.

✨ Saying no to the thing you don’t have the capacity for, even if you feel guilty about it.

✨ Eating food that gives you steady energy instead of crashing by 2 p.m.

✨ Making space for acupuncture or fascia work, not just when you’re desperate, but when you’re maintaining.

✨ Getting labs done so you actually know what your body needs, instead of just throwing supplements at symptoms and hoping something sticks.

This kind of care isn’t flashy or always fun, but it’s what actually helps things shift.

If it feels a little boring? Good.

That means it’s sustainable.

It’s wild what people will spend money on without a second thought.

Hair appointments, nails, lashes?

No hesitation.

But bring up something like acupuncture, and suddenly it’s “too expensive” or “not in the budget.”

The thing that actually helps your health, energy, and stress levels? Somehow that’s a luxury.

Massage gets a bit more of a pass.

People book it for relaxation, and yeah, it can absolutely support your health if it’s the right kind of work.

But because it’s more mainstream, it’s easier to justify the cost.

Acupuncture? Still seen as fringe, even though it can help with pain, fatigue, digestion, migraines, sleep, all the things people are silently struggling through.

The real problem isn’t just priorities, but what we’ve been taught to value. Beauty over health. Hustle over rest. Symptoms over solutions.

People are used to burning out and calling it normal.

Most don’t know what it actually takes to feel better, because they’ve never had to think about it.

They have insurance through work, or a partner, or their parents. Maybe they’ve never had a major health issue.

And if they have? It was mostly handled for them.

So when they finally do want to take control of their health, they’re shocked by the costs, or they’re confused by what to do.

That’s not failure. That’s a lack of access, education, and real conversation. But that doesn’t mean you have to wait for a health crisis to start paying attention.

One step is enough to start.

One call, one appointment. You don’t need to be falling apart to take care of yourself.

You get oil changes for your car, but ignore your nervous system until it breaks down.

Makes zero sense.

Acupuncture isn’t just for crisis mode when you’re crawling in barely able to move, relying on Advil or ibuprofen to get you through the day, and googling your symptoms at 2am.

It’s maintenance for people who want to stay functional.

Think about it like this:

You brush your teeth daily to prevent cavities.

You work out to stay strong.

You eat well to fuel your body.

You change your oil regularly so your engine doesn’t seize up.

But your nervous system, that thing that controls EVERYTHING in your body?

You wait until it’s completely fried to give it attention.

And that just isn’t sustainable.

I see people who come in regularly for acupuncture, and those who wait until they’re hurting, not feeling great, whatever.

Guess who feels better, sleeps better, handles stress better, and doesn’t end up in chronic pain patterns?

The maintenance people.

Every. Single. Time.

Consistency beats intensity, and small investments in your health now prevent big breakdowns later.

Stop treating your body like it’s disposable. It’s the only one you get.

Most people think insulin resistance means obesity or diabetes.

Nope.

You can be slim, active, and still have it.

Think that might be the case for you? Check out these signs nobody talks about:

➡️ Constant sugar or carb cravings. Your body is begging for quick energy because it can’t use glucose properly.

➡️ Brain fog & poor concentration. Glucose is your brain fuel. If insulin isn’t working, your brain feels fuzzy.

➡️ Energy crashes after meals. That 2 pm slump isn’t laziness. It’s blood sugar going haywire.

➡️ Difficulty losing belly fat. Stubborn belly fat is often the last place insulin resistance shows up.

➡️ Mood swings or irritability. Blood sugar swings mess with your mood more than you realize.

➡️ Frequent hunger or overeating. Even after eating, your body can’t get the fuel it needs.

➡️ Waking up tired or restless sleep. Insulin resistance can impact cortisol and other hormones tied to sleep.

The bottom line is this:

If you feel wired AND tired, hungry and full, or just off your game, insulin resistance might be the culprit.

I’m not here to sugarcoat your health.

If you’re looking for someone to tell you everything’s fine while your body’s clearly not, I’m not your person.

Healing takes effort.

It’s not instant, and it’s not something you can outsource.

You can’t keep eating like trash, running on caffeine and five hours of sleep, ignoring your stress, and then expect your body to just figure it out.

It doesn’t work that way.

Your body’s always trying to tell you something. If you’re tired, inflamed, wired, or just feeling off, it’s not random.

It’s communication. And I can help you understand it.

I work with people who are ready to actually make changes, and that starts with being honest about what’s working, what’s not, and what you’re willing to change.

If that sounds like what you’ve been needing, let’s chat.

Most people don’t realize they’re dealing with insulin resistance.

It’s not just a diabetes thing.

And it doesn’t only show up in people who are overweight, sedentary, or eating piles of sugar.

Here’s what insulin resistance can actually look like:

• You’re hungry all the time, even after eating

• You crash hard in the afternoon

• You gain or hold weight mostly around your belly

• You feel tired or foggy after meals

• You crave sweets, even when you’re full

You don’t have to wait for a diagnosis to start paying attention.

And you don’t have to fast for 16 hours a day or live on zero carbs to turn things around.

One of the best ways to understand your patterns?

Wear a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor). You don’t need to be diabetic to use one.

You’ll actually see how food, sleep, stress, and exercise affect your blood sugar in real time.

Your body’s been giving you clues. Now you’ll have the full picture.

Your Gut: The Drama Queen You Should Actually Listen To! 🎭

Turns out that “gut feeling” isn’t just your lunch having opinions – it’s science! Your gut actually has its own nervous system (the Enteric Nervous System) that’s like a mini-brain having a constant group chat with your actual brain. They use the same neural language and everything!

In Chinese Medicine, they figured this out ages ago: your stomach is basically an anxiety sponge, while your small intestine is living its best life as your body’s emotional rollercoaster. And when your gut’s not happy, nobody’s happy – we’re talking IBS, SIBO, and other fun acronyms that can turn you into a nervous wreck.

But don’t worry! Your gut can go from “hot mess” to “best dressed” with some simple tweaks:
- Ditch the junk food and booze (your gut is a bit of a health snob)
- Get your beauty sleep and move that body
- Slurp up some bone broth and salmon (your gut loves a collagen facial)
- Feed your internal bacterial party with prebiotics (whole grains and fiber) and probiotics (yogurt and other fermented goodies)
- Try acupuncture (because sometimes your gut needs a spa day)

Visit the Wellness Saloon to stock up on gut-friendly supplements and book your acupuncture appointment. Your gut will thank you by being less dramatic!

Want some extra TLC for your internal bestie? Book your appointment today! 💫
