Fall is the season of drawing inward, letting go. The metal element represents this season and the organs of metal are the lung and large intestine. What do they have in common?
They both function in taking what's pure-in the air and in our food- and releasing in the impure- what does not serve us. The emotion that these organs hold is grief so you can imagine what might be coming up for us and emphasized at this time. And furthermore what we get to practice in release.
The lungs and large intestine don't like being too dry or too wet, it's somewhere in between being well moistened without containing too much phlegm or dampness. Otherwise, we can have a phlegmy cough (or a dry one) and loose stool (or constipation). These issues are something I have been seeing a lot in the clinic for the past couple weeks since it has gotten cooler and dryer in Edmonton.
We get to be reminded how to bring more yin energy into our being with restful practices and slowing down the way we go about our activities and routines.
Some things my body is now craving more is sleep, warm baths, nourishing soups, and yin yoga.
Last night my body was feeling very very stiff and I knew that before bedtime it would be a good idea to do some stretches with long holds to focus more on unwinding my mind and loosening up my back. And oh was it nice! My nervous system needed to be brought down a few notches.

So I extend to you the resource I used which is this video. There are many out there by the way, this is an hour but doing even half of it will bring many benefits.

Happy pretty leaf season y'all

Many spots open this week as my first month of running my own little clinic room continues!

Lately patients have been coming in for headaches, neck pain, TMJ, shoulder tension from working at home, bloating, PMS and cycle regulation and more. I help and also hold space for your mind, body and spirit to unwind, balance and rest here.

Sneaky peaks. Putting my heart into a dream room ✨

11/18/2020

With hearing about acupuncture & Chinese medicine clinics being required to close down (voluntarily & involuntarily) around the country, even temporarily, I feel especially grateful I have been able to stay open for most of the time during this difficult year. Minus a couple months.

My heart breaks for those patients in need of pain management, fertility support, insomnia relief, chronic fatigue, IMMUNE SYSTEM STRENGTHENING, debilitating conditions, depression...anxiety, things people struggle with every day- that now can't go to their practitioner anymore. And yet they still have to keep going and work as hard as they can to make their living.
My heart goes out to the health professional that wants to do hands-on help dearly but for so many reasons, can't.
We are small businesses being as safe as possible and really I think, closing does SO much harm than good. Our regulatory boards have recommended all the things for us to follow for safety and still...closures have been forced to happen.

There is so much that does not make sense to me and seems illogical and contradicting but what to do?

All I know to do is to keep supporting every single person I see- in the clinic and outside of it- be as ESSENTIAL as can be, and to be grateful I still have the means to order more tools to pour back into my patients.

And to keep going, the self-care is absolutely 💯

Just two of my very favourite essential oil formulas in the clinic room ❤

The left bottle has been a helpful part in my acupuncture treatments for relieving aches and pains all over the body, and so effective that some patients go out to pick one up for themselves!
And peppermint halo...well you guys know how well this stuff works for headaches 👏

I'm prone to tension headaches and the roller version of the pep halo is my go-to remedy next to chugging water and needling myself while settling down and breathing at the end of the day 😌

During a time of uncertainty, reflection, anxiety, and practicing true empathy when it is needed more than ever, it’s good to be in service again.

Back in clinic this past week and recently treating issues like jaw tension, headaches, back pain, hip pain, overall muscle tension, frozen shoulder, emotional stress and more. 💫

Cupping tutorial Link here!

https://youtu.be/2FwAUISWXGI

Things I must add about the video:
👉I purchased my cups from easterncurrents.com but you can also get them from lierre.ca
👉clean your cups with dish soap and hot water and then wipe with alcohol or lysol wipes
👉I am still slightly camera shy

BTW
Since I am having trouble downloading the tutorial on instagram here are some shots of our mini cupping session at Hin Lad waterfall on Koh Samui with our beautiful model , taken by ❤❤ we had a blast 🔥
