🎀 PINKTOBER! Moffitt feels today👇🏻

Ask any woman who’s had a scare or worse… waiting for that scan to come back seems like forever and a day. 🙏🏻

It’s not lost on me that so many women leaving Moffitt don’t get the GOOD news👍🏻 I did today. I’m here for “high risk surveillance” every 6 months and consider that fortunate. 🍀

My journey around a breast cancer scare is teaching me to love myself more. 💓I’ve wasted countless thoughts and emotional energy during my adolescence and adult life wanting my breasts to be different…bigger, better, whatever. Now I just want to keep them as healthy as possible and quite frankly, f**k the rest of the nonsense. 🙌🏻

So much 💕 for all our mothers, sisters, aunts, daughters, grandmothers and friends who’ve faced breast cancer. 🎀 We send strength to those fighting 👊🏻, celebrate the survivors 🎉and lovingly remember those who lost their battle. 🌈

😭ALL THE FEELS TODAY!! 😭

Saying goodbye to this incredible woman is harder than I ever imagined. Erin’s been our Office Manager for 14.5 out of the 15 years I’ve been practicing. She’s been an integral part of our growth and success. 🌟 And she’s kept me sane. That’s no easy task! 😆 She’s been wholly dedicated and has always gone above and beyond for me and for our patients. 🙌🏻Her friendly smile and caring presence will be greatly missed. I feel so incredibly blessed to have had her by my side on this journey. 🥰

Erin is moving on to work for an organization where she feels called to help pregnant women. She will undoubtedly be an amazing addition to their team. 😇

Endings always provide space for reflection. 🙏🏻 I’m filled with gratitude for the unwavering support and friendship Erin’s given with such an open heart. 💜 She’s truly one in a million. 🌟

Cupping for my shoulder pain. 🙌🏻
Check out the dark purple color on the one cup! 😱That’s where it hurts the most.

Ever seen those Olympic athletes with cupping marks? Swimmers often sport them. Why? 🤔 Cupping provides pain relief and improved range of motion for aching or injured joints and muscles. 🤯

Cupping is an East Asian medicine technique and can be done with 🔥 or a pump to create a vacuum. The suction pulls stagnant blood to the surface and allows for better oxygenation of the soft tissues which promotes healing. 👍🏻Typically, the darker the color, the better the outcome. 💥

People mistakenly think anywhere you place a cup will naturally leave a purplish-red bruise or hickey. Not true! ❌ The other cups placed on my back and pec muscles barely showed any discoloration. But that one spot on my shoulder, holla! 👏🏻

Also, when cupping is repeated, the areas with the most stagnation will start to show less discoloration over time. ✅And the patient reports feeling less pain and better mobility. Winning! 🌟

If you’re local and want to try cupping, give the office a call! 772-564-8383. 😊

Nature’s magnificent art! 🌅

Living on the east coast of FL, we witness the beauty of sunrise ☀️, but the west coast boasts the most amazing sunsets!Truly breathtaking! ✨

Sunsets remind me that endings can be just as beautiful as beginnings.🧡When we arrive at the end of the day, or at the conclusion of any chapter in our lives, 📖may we pause for a moment of reflection to be grateful for what was and trust the sun will rise again tomorrow. 🙌🏻

When work becomes play 🏖 and colleagues become friends, life is good! 💗

We love both receiving and giving NET! 🙌🏻 NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique) helps people resolve patterns of stress contributing to physical and emotional health issues. ☺️ At this conference, we get to work on each other while learning how to better serve our patients. 🥰

Happy 25th birthday to this shining star! 🌟 Today and every day I celebrate the amazing woman you are! 💗🎉😇

This beautiful soul, Ananda, came into my life when she was only 13 and is one of my greatest blessings. What started out as a patient-practitioner relationship has grown into a mother-daughter-friendship and now she teaches me. Watching her journey has been inspiring... seeing her graduate high school, finish college, complete grad school with a MSW, start a practice of her own and become certified in NET!! Ananda’s healing energy and compassionate soul infuse her work and will help many people change for the better. 🙌🏻 The sky is the limit for this one- she’s born of rainbows 🌈, star dust ✨ and sunshine. ☀️

17 yrs ago, we shared 3 years of acupuncture school ☯️. Now, we still take care of each other. 🤗

Steve is a talented acupuncturist, 🌟astrologist and all around fantastic human. After experiencing significant and measurable results from our last NET session, Steve came back for more NET to continue his healing journey. And what an amazing session it was ending with some cool cosmic energy shifts! 💛🪐✨

Get ready bc Steve .505 just signed up for his first NET training conference in March! He’s gonna be a great NET practitioner! 🙌🏻

NET helps release negative thoughts💡, feelings and behaviors that have their roots in subconscious emotional patterns formed by past events in our lives. When we don’t have the ability, awareness, or coping mechanisms to resolve negative feelings at the time they’re happening, they often create beliefs and behaviors that are maladaptive. Have you attempted to change a thought, feeling or behavior but then fall back into old patterns? 🤔

The sweetest honor ever coming from a 9 yr old patient! She told her mom she wants to be a “NET therapist” like me when she grows up. Melts my heart 💕
We’ve been lax on the social media lately, but this makes my heart sing. This beautiful little spirit has been coming since she was 7 yrs and NET ( ) has helped her overcome fears, build self-confidence and blossom into her best self! 🌟
Kids have stress too- it’s how they perceive what’s going on in their lives that matters. What I would have given to have had the opportunity to work thru my stuff at a younger age. Props to this momma and daddy for supporting their baby girl in this way! 🙌🏻 .
