Everyone’s talking about the Year of the Horse 🐎
Momentum. Movement. Big energy. Let’s go.

And yes… that energy is coming.
But right now? We are still in winter.

From a TCM lens, January is not the starting gate. It’s the stable. The quiet. The deep rest before motion. Nature hasn’t turned green yet. The sap hasn’t risen. Your body knows this, even if your calendar doesn’t.

Pushing hard right now, forcing goals, grinding through exhaustion… that’s how we burn through reserves. It looks like motivation in January and feels like burnout by March. Lost momentum by spring. Lingering colds. Hormonal dips. Injuries that shouldn’t have happened.

Winter is for hibernation, not hustle.
For protecting your energy, not spending it.
For listening inward so spring can arrive naturally… with strength.

The Horse will run.
But first, let the ground thaw.

Rest now so you can move later.
That’s not laziness. That’s wisdom.

Yes, it does! 🖤🔥

Your body is always on your side.

Every ache, every pain, every symptom is a signal, not a malfunction. These are your body’s way of communicating what needs support so you can return to balance.

When you start listening instead of silencing those signals, you stop chasing symptoms and start creating lasting change. But if you outsource your health to “experts” who hand you disempowering diagnoses, you give away your power and make space for cover ups instead of root cause healing.

Your body is hardwired to heal. Feed it real food, remove the toxins, choose the right supplements, and align your lifestyle, and you can reverse years of damage from the inside out.

I have helped thousands do exactly that without being trapped in the medical system.

Now it is your turn.

Something new is officially taking root 🌲

We quietly opened our doors, let the space breathe, and allowed the clinic to settle in the way old forests do… slowly, intentionally. And soon, we’ll be marking it properly.

Our official Grand Opening is coming up, and we can’t wait to gather, connect, and welcome you into Redwood Acupuncture & Health in a more formal way. This space was built to feel grounded, warm, and human. A place to land. A place to come home to your body.

🐎Honestly, kind of relieved the Year of the Snake is wrapping up.🐍

No shade. Just a lot of shedding, deep lessons, and quiet recalibrations.
Grateful for the wisdom… ready to move forward now.

Whose with me?

As the year comes to a close, we’re holding deep gratitude for every person who trusted us with their care.
For the quiet moments on the table, the honest conversations, the healing in progress, and the resilience we get to witness up close — thank you.
This work is an honour, and this community means everything to us.

In the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, we’re also standing at a meaningful threshold.
🐍The Year of the Snake — a time of shedding, introspection, deep healing, and necessary endings — is preparing to release its hold. Snakes teach us when to let go, when to go inward, and when growth requires stillness before movement.

🐎Ahead, the Year of the Horse arrives with a very different energy. The Horse brings momentum, forward motion, vitality, and expansion. It’s about stepping out of the shadows, reconnecting to purpose, and moving ahead with strength and clarity — not recklessly, but confidently.

This shift feels especially meaningful as we prepare for our Grand Opening soon.
A new chapter. Fresh energy. The same rooted care, now ready to move forward with intention. 🔥

As we step into the new year, we do so with gratitude, grounded optimism, and trust in the timing of it all.
Thank you for being part of this journey — we can’t wait to welcome you into what’s next.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Tiny fingers. Powerful pathways.

In pediatric acupuncture and TCM, the fingers aren’t just for gripping and exploring — they’re rich with meridian access. Many of the primary channels begin or end at the fingertips, which makes the finger meridians especially responsive in children.

Gentle massage along the finger channels can help support digestion, immunity, sleep, emotional regulation, and nervous system balance. Because kids’ Qi is naturally active and adaptable, these light techniques often create noticeable shifts without needles at all.

Think of it as helping energy find its way home:
• thumb — Lung & breath
• index finger — Large Intestine & digestion/release
• middle finger — Pericardium & emotional safety
• ring finger — Triple Burner & regulation
• pinky — Heart & Small Intestine (connection + assimilation)

A few slow strokes from the fingertip toward the palm, paired with calm breathing and presence, can help settle big feelings in small bodies.

Simple. Grounded. Remarkably effective.
Sometimes, healing really is at your fingertips.

Every time you pause and actually feel what’s coming up — frustration, grief, excitement, indecision — you’re doing more than emotional work.
You’re supporting your Liver and Gallbladder Qi.

In Chinese Medicine, the Liver keeps Qi moving smoothly through the body. When emotions are pushed down, rushed past, or ignored, that flow tightens. We see it as tension, PMS, headaches, digestive upset, irritability, sighing, jaw and neck tightness.
The Gallbladder, its paired organ, needs clarity and direction. When we second-guess ourselves or override our inner “yes” or “no,” it shows up as stagnation and stuck energy.

Emotional awareness isn’t indulgent.
It’s regulatory.
It keeps things moving instead of bottling up and hardening over time.

You don’t have to dramatize your feelings or fix them immediately.
Simply noticing them — with honesty and without judgment — is often enough to shift Qi.

This is the quiet power of listening inward.
Your body always responds.

In TCM, the Liver channel wraps the ge****ls, ribs, neck, jaw, and temples.

So when Liver Qi stagnates, where does pressure go?

Up.

That’s why we often see:
• jaw clenching
• temporal headaches
• neck tension
• breast tenderness
• PMS with irritability

It’s one system looking for relief.

Acupuncture doesn’t just treat the head.
It opens the channel pathway, allowing Qi to descend and disperse instead of pressurizing upward.

When flow returns, symptoms disappear — without targeting each one separately.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we don’t treat “digestive issues.”
We treat digestion mechanics.

Here’s what different symptoms actually suggest:

• Loose stools, especially in the morning
→ Spleen Qi deficiency (weak transformation + transport)

• Bloating after meals, tight abdomen, gas
→ Liver Qi attacking the Spleen (stress + tension impairing digestion)

• Dry, difficult stools
→ Blood or Yin deficiency failing to moisten the intestines

• Alternating constipation and diarrhea
→ Disharmony between the Liver and Spleen

Same organ system. Different failures.

Acupuncture works by:
• regulating Spleen and Stomach Qi
• calming Liver overactivity
• improving peristalsis — not forcing it

That’s why two people with “gut issues” require entirely different treatments.

Your symptoms aren’t vague.
They’re precise — if you know the code.
