✨ Holding Space & Finding Inspiration ✨

Still feeling the warmth from Asian Women Are Strong—the conversations, the curiosity, and the shared moments of connection. Grateful to everyone who stopped by for our mini tongue readings (we were booked up completely!), a chat about how your period can reflect your overall health, or a moment to learn about traditional Asian herbs to support your well-being.

Deep gratitude to for creating such a powerful space of community care and connection. A huge thank you to my incredible volunteers—Hannah , Cassie .astra_chou, Natasha , and my husband Brian , who made the day flow so smoothly! Your support, kindness, and presence made all the difference.

Between all the interactions, I slipped away to hear and speak. Amanda shared about reverence, filial piety, and her wish for courage to truly live the life you want to live—a powerful reminder of why I do this work. Of how intergenerational healing is about bravely living the truth of who we are and the wisdom that it honors our lineage forwards and back.

What’s something that’s inspired you to be act with courage lately?

Rooted in Creativity: Healing & Growth Through Creative Expression 🏵️

Join us on Sunday, October 13 in an intimate setting grounded in creative and healing modalities where we’ll explore ways to connect inward on your healing journey.

A special gathering guided by author Christina Vo , Vina Vo of novaliacollective , and Tina Pham of , who will each present their unique perspective and modality on healing. Through our healing journeys, we’ve discovered that it takes a community to disrupt the cycle of intergenerational trauma and pain.

You’ll engage in community conversations, a mini-writing and creative workshop, and meditation and movement practices. We intend for this offering to be a part of your healing process, and we invite you to come as you are. We hope you leave with renewed support and tools on your healing journey.

Registration includes a signed copy of The Veil Between Two Worlds: A Memoir of Silence, Loss, and Finding Home by Christina Vo.

Join us for a Sunday afternoon intimate workshop exploring a blend of holistic health techniques to support and care for anxious thoughts and feelings of overwhelm.

In Chinese Medicine, there is a fifth season called Late Summer that corresponds with the Earth element and digestive organs. When the Earth element is weakened and out of balance, we may feel challenged in digesting or moving through our emotions and tend to overthink and worry.

You will be guided through meditation, acupressure, and imagery practices to connect within and nourish your Earth element. There will be time for journaling reflection and community sharing while savoring our soothing herbal tea.

This workshop will be co-led by Tina Pham, an Acupuncturist and Herbalist providing holistic care focused on mental health and emotions, and Elaine Santos, a Health & Wellness Coach and Guided Imagery practitioner focused on helping people emerge from overwhelm and feel like themselves again.

This is a small group workshop so spots are limited. Sign up in advance through the link in bio!

Join us this Sunday afternoon for a Qigong for Anxiety class to release stress and help you feel grounded in your mind and body. This class will be led by Tina Pham, Acupuncturist and Herbalist providing holistic care focused on mental health and emotions in San Francisco.

You will be led through a beginner-level Qigong practice to connect inward through gentle movement, meditation, and breathing techniques. We’ll then have time for community connection while enjoying our soothing herbal tea.

In Chinese Medicine, emotions are energy, and emotions that remain unprocessed become stored in our bodies. Qigong involves intentional movements to optimize the energy of your body, mind, and spirit. It can support your overall health and well-being and the regulation of your emotions.

Come start your week off with self-care. Sign up through the link in bio! ☯️

May 30 marked one year since we opened and it feels surreal to have our new space come together during AAPI Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month.

May was all about settling into the new home of Persimmon Acupuncture. For a long time, we dreamt of how we wish a healing space to feel and have truly reimagined the possibilities for what an acupuncture clinic can be. We are beyond excited to welcome you!

We continue to offer 1:1 healing sessions with acupuncture and herbal medicine, and also deeply understand the value of healing collectively. Many visions and collaborations are coming to fruition so stay tuned for wellness workshops, AAPI offerings, Qigong for processing emotions, Chinese Medicine cooking classes and more!
