I practice acupuncture because I believe the body holds our experiences, especially the ones that are overwhelming or difficult to process.

After miscarriage, many people feel disconnected from their bodies, carrying grief, shock, and self blame all at once.

Acupuncture does not erase loss, but it can help regulate the nervous system, support hormonal and emotional balance, and create a safe place to slow down and breathe.

My work is about meeting you exactly where you are, honoring what you have been through, and gently reminding you that your body is not broken. It has been responding to something profoundly hard with intelligence and care. ❤️‍🩹

Yesterday I told a patient to step away from her upcoming half marathon. Not because running is bad, and not because she’s injured, but because her body is tired in a way rest days can’t fix.

From a Western medicine perspective, her system has been living in chronic stress mode. Cortisol stays elevated, recovery suffers, sleep gets lighter, hormones get quieter, digestion slows, and the body never truly feels safe enough to rebuild. More training doesn’t create resilience in that state. It deepens depletion.

From a Traditional Chinese Medicine lens, this looks like Qi and Yin depletion. Too much output, not enough replenishment. Running is expansive and dispersing. When reserves are low, the body needs grounding, containment, and nourishment, not more demand.

For the next few months, her plan is walking, Pilates, yoga, and gentle movement that supports the nervous system instead of draining it.

This isn’t quitting. It’s strategic repair.

I share this because so many people believe rest is failure. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your health is pause long enough to listen.

If this resonates, save it. Share it with someone who’s pushing through exhaustion. And if you’re unsure whether your body needs support, challenge, or recovery right now, I’m here 🤍

We’re taught to manage stress with mindset, willpower, and positive thinking.

But the body doesn’t regulate through logic — it regulates through sensation and safety.

In Chinese medicine, the dantien represents where the body organizes energy when it feels resourced. When someone is chronically stressed, overworking, under-eating, or living in constant stimulation, energy rises.

Symptoms follow: anxiety, poor digestion, fatigue, hormonal disruption, shallow breathing, difficulty sleeping.

This isn’t a personal failure. It’s physiology.

Grounding practices don’t work because they’re trendy — they work because they bring energy back down into the body’s center. Acupuncture, slow breath, warmth, and stillness all send the same message: you’re safe enough to settle.

Over time, this shows up as real, measurable change:
• improved digestion and appetite
• more stable moods
• deeper sleep
• better stress tolerance
• stronger hormonal signaling

The goal isn’t to “calm down.”
It’s to rebuild a body that doesn’t have to live in survival mode.
Regulation is not mental.
It’s embodied.
And that’s the work.

If you want to get pregnant in 2026, here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud.

Fertility isn’t a switch you flip.

It’s a state your body earns when it feels safe, nourished, and supported.

That means:
• eating enough
• regulating stress
• healing your gut
• respecting your cycle
• and giving your hormones time to recalibrate

Start now.

Your future baby depends on the season you’re in before conception.

Save this. Share it. Read it twice.

OK you’re pregnant.
Now what?

First comes the adrenaline.
Then the questions.
Then the urge to do everything perfectly.

Early pregnancy isn’t about doing more…it’s about supporting what’s already happening.

Regulating stress. Supporting blood flow. Helping your nervous system shift out of fight-or-flight so implantation and early development can stay protected.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need support. 🤍
Save this for the “wait… am I doing this right?” days.

This past week I found myself sitting by the window, watching the early sunset and feeling the pull of winter’s quiet. At first I felt restless, like I should be doing something, moving, creating.

And then it hit me: this is exactly what winter is for. Pulling back. Gathering. Storing energy.

Like a slingshot, the tension isn’t a sign of being stuck. It’s what will launch me forward when the right moment comes.

I’ve been leaning into it, slowing my mornings, drinking my tea a little longer, noticing the small rhythms of my body and mind. It feels like preparing without pressure, resting with purpose.

Winter is teaching me that slowing down isn’t giving up. It’s setting the foundation for whatever comes next. 🪬❄️

Winter always wakes up the part of me that still hurts.
There’s something about the early darkness that brings my grief closer to the surface.

This time of year slows everything down.
And when things get quiet, the feelings I’ve tried to stay ahead of finally catch up.
It’s uncomfortable, but it’s also honest.
And I’m learning not to run from that.

What’s been helping me is remembering that so much begins in the dark.
Seeds, babies, whole new lives… all of it starts where no one can see.
So maybe my grief is doing something in me too.
Maybe it’s shifting or softening or reshaping me in ways I won’t understand until later.

I don’t have answers.
Just a little more compassion for the parts of me that still ache.

If this season feels heavy for you too, you’re not alone.
We can let the dark be a place to rest, not a place to fear.
Some things grow best there 🌱
