🌿 World Menopause Day 🌿
Today we take a moment to honor women everywhere navigating the transition of menopause — a natural and significant stage of life.

Menopause can bring changes such as hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, mood shifts, and more. While these symptoms are common, they don’t have to define your experience.

✨ Acupuncture offers a safe, gentle, and holistic approach to supporting your body during this time. By helping regulate hormonal balance, calm the nervous system, and improve circulation, acupuncture can ease discomfort and promote a greater sense of wellbeing.

At Great Blue Acupuncture, we’re here to provide compassionate, personalized care to help you feel balanced and supported through every stage of life.

💙 If you’re experiencing menopausal symptoms or simply want to feel more at ease in your body, we invite you to reach out and learn how acupuncture can help.

🍂 Transitioning from Summer to Fall — How Acupuncture Can Help 🍂

As the long days of summer give way to crisp autumn air, our bodies and minds go through a natural shift. In Chinese Medicine, fall is connected to the lungs and the element of metal, a season of letting go, slowing down, and turning inward. Just like the trees release their leaves, fall invites us to release what no longer serves us and create space for what’s ahead.

But transitions aren’t always easy. With the change of season, you might notice:
• Seasonal allergies flaring up 🤧
• Lower energy or fatigue 🌙
• Sadness or difficulty letting go 💭
• Tightness in the chest or shortness of breath 💨
• More colds or coughs making the rounds 🤒

✨ This is where acupuncture can help.
Acupuncture supports the body’s natural rhythms, strengthening the lungs, boosting immunity, calming the nervous system, and helping you adjust with more ease. Regular treatments in the fall can:
✔️ Strengthen your immune defenses
✔️ Ease seasonal allergies
✔️ Support energy and emotional balance
✔️ Improve sleep and overall resilience

By working with your body’s seasonal needs, acupuncture helps you move through the transition from summer to fall feeling supported, grounded, and clear.

💙 If you’d like to align with the season and give your body a little extra care, fall is the perfect time to schedule an acupuncture session.

🌟 About Rebecca 🌟

Hi, I’m Rebecca! I’ve been the Office Manager at Great Blue Acupuncture for almost 9 months now. When I first started, I had never tried acupuncture — and honestly didn’t know much about its benefits.

Fast forward to today, and I’m officially a believer. 🙌

I use acupuncture regularly for seasonal allergies and migraine prevention — and the changes have been incredible. Before, my allergies were so bad I’d wake up with a swollen face and constant itching during pollen season. Now? I only notice symptoms on the very worst pollen days. Such a huge relief!

And the best part? I haven’t had a single migraine since starting acupuncture. 💙

If you’ve ever wondered whether acupuncture could work for you, my advice is simple: give it a try — and stay consistent. One treatment will leave you feeling good, but making it part of your wellness routine is where the lasting results truly happen.

🌿 Outside of work
I love spending time in nature — especially hiking and exploring the often-forgotten corners of Maine. At home, you’ll usually find me building Lego masterpieces with my husband, experimenting with new recipes, or curled up with a good book. I’m also learning how to train our rescued Boston Terrier (who has a few special needs) — it’s been both a challenge and a joy. And whenever I can, I head to New Hampshire to visit family and recharge.

These hobbies keep me grounded, curious, and always learning — which I also bring into my role at Great Blue.

🌞 Get to Know Sami 🌞

“I am so happy it’s summer! My favorite days are spent at the lake with my family — swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and doing lots of dock jumping (our dog joins in on the fun too 🐶💦).

Year-round, I keep a daily yoga practice to stay grounded, and I think rock climbing is one of the most fun and empowering ways to move my body. 🧘‍♀️🧗

I’m constantly amazed by the power of acupuncture. I know it works because it’s worked for me — and after 5 years in practice, I’ve seen it work firsthand for hundreds of patients. Personally, I use acupuncture to:
✨ Treat headaches & TMJ
✨ Boost recovery after illness
✨ Relieve sore muscles
✨ Help me relax after a hard day

I even treat my daughter — and she loves cupping! 💙

I was lucky to be introduced to acupuncture at a young age, when my mom brought me to a practitioner for migraines. I was fascinated that tiny needles in my feet and ears could ease my headaches! That early experience stuck with me — and when it came time to choose a healing profession, I knew acupuncture was the one.”

🌿 Get to Know Leah 🌿

Meet Leah Chamberlin, founder and owner of Great Blue Acupuncture, which she opened in 2021. Leah is a board-certified Acupuncturist through the NCCAOM and has been licensed to practice in Maine since 2016. With over 10 years of experience, she earned her Master’s degree from the New England School of Acupuncture in Newton, MA.

Leah’s acupuncture journey began in middle school, when her mother first brought her to an acupuncturist for anxiety. Experiencing such meaningful relief at a young age — and later shadowing practitioners — sparked the passion that would eventually become her life’s work. After earning a BS in Business, she felt called to take her career in a new direction: supporting others on their path to healing.

Her extensive training includes clinical work in both Eastern and Western medical theory and diagnosis.

✨ Specialties include:
• Cosmetic & facial rejuvenation acupuncture
• Chronic pain management
• Orthopedic acupuncture (dry needling)
• Anxiety & depression support
• Pediatrics
• Reproductive health

Leah is deeply committed to helping people achieve a better quality of life, partnering with her clients to restore balance and maintain long-term wellness.

Outside the clinic, Leah loves spending time with her husband, friends, and family — including her two beloved greyhounds, Rudi and Digit 🐾. She also enjoys traveling, making music, singing, and taking long nature walks.

💙 “It is my joy to practice acupuncture, and my sincere hope to help you on your healing journey.”

🍂 Acupuncture & September 🍂

September is a month of transition — the long days of summer begin to shorten, the air turns crisp, and we naturally shift our routines. In Chinese Medicine, this seasonal change is connected to the lungs and large intestine, which support immunity, breath, and the ability to “let go.”

✨ This makes September the perfect time to:

Strengthen your immune system before cold + flu season

Support your lungs and sinuses (especially with fall allergies 🍁)

Release lingering stress or tension from summer

Create balance as schedules get busier

💙 How acupuncture can help:
Acupuncture works with your body’s natural rhythms to boost immunity, ease allergies, calm the nervous system, and support emotional balance — all of which are especially helpful as we move into autumn.

🍵 Tip: Pair your treatments with small daily rituals like intentional breathing outdoors, or sipping warming teas with ginger or cinnamon to gently support your lung health.

✨ Want to feel more balanced heading into fall? Reserve your spot online or send us a message — we’d love to support you this September.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Acupuncture Session ✨

Acupuncture works best when you give your body the right environment to heal. Here are a few simple tips to maximize your treatment:

Before Your Session

Eat lightly 🥗 – Come with a small meal or snack in your system (not too full, not too empty).

Stay hydrated 💧 – Drink water beforehand to support circulation and energy flow.

Wear comfortable clothing 👕 – Loose sleeves/pants make it easier to access acupuncture points.

During Your Session

Relax and breathe 🌿 – Focus on letting go; your only job is to rest.

Stay present – Notice how your body feels without judgment. Some points may feel tingly, warm, or heavy—that’s normal!

Communicate 🗣️ – If anything feels uncomfortable, let your practitioner know right away.

After Your Session

Take it easy 🛋️ – Allow some downtime afterwards if you can.

Drink water – It helps flush out toxins and supports healing.

Notice changes ✨ – Pay attention to sleep, mood, energy, or symptoms improving over the next few days.

💙 Acupuncture is a partnership. The more you listen to your body and support it with rest, hydration, and mindfulness, the more powerful your results will be.

✨Benefits of Cupping Therapy

Cupping is an ancient healing practice that uses gentle suction to encourage circulation, release tension, and restore balance in the body. Here are some of the top benefits:

💆‍♀️ Relieves Muscle Tension

Cupping helps loosen tight muscles, ease knots, and improve flexibility—great for athletes or anyone with daily aches and pains.

💨 Improves Circulation & Detoxification

The suction draws blood flow to the surface, helping nourish tissues, reduce stagnation, and support your body’s natural detox process.

🌿 Supports Relaxation & Stress Relief

Many people find cupping deeply calming. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping you rest, reset, and recharge.

🔥 Reduces Inflammation & Promotes Healing

By increasing blood and lymph flow, cupping can reduce inflammation and speed up recovery from injuries or chronic tension.

💤 Enhances Overall Wellbeing

Patients often report improved sleep, better energy, and a general sense of lightness and ease after a cupping session.

✨ Note: The marks left behind are not bruises—they’re a sign of stagnation being released and usually fade within a few days.
