A lot of people know of Cupping and even Moxa. Gua Sha is a part of the TCM tool box. In the past couple years, it has begun to rise in popularity as a beauty routine. Gua Sha is now found in spas. In spas, it is advertised as a rejuvenating treatment. Even in some

🕯️🪡What's inside my Chinese medicine toolkit?🪡🕯️

I often get questions wondering about the various tools I use, especially for Gua Sha (not pictured). Different practitioners use different tools, like electrodes, heat lamps, or even tuning forks. But right now, here's what I'm working with. Who knows, as I gain more experience and expand my practice, I might end up adding new tools or fine-tuning my current ones. That's the beauty of this journey—it's always evolving!

So, I hope this gives you a peek into what's going on with the stuff you see in my treatment room. As always, send me a dm if you have any questions ✨☺️

🌙 Accessible Healthcare 🌙

Since starting school, one of my dreams has been to make acupuncture more accessible to everyone. In today's world, costs can be a barrier to care, especially for those without insurance.

From October 3rd to October 7th, I'm excited to offer sliding-scale acupuncture! 🎉 This is for those without insurance and those who might be deterred by the cost of acupuncture. Even after this special week, I'll continue to offer sliding-scale acupuncture on a weekly basis (possibly on Wednesdays but would love to pick a day that works for everyone).

Wondering what acupuncture can help with? Here's a quick list:

Digestive disorders (diarrhea, constipation, IBS, bloating)
Insomnia
Anxiety, stress, depression
Irregular menstruation
Pain (back, shoulder, hip, wrist, ankle)
And much more!

If you have insurance, don't forget about my opening promo: free fire cupping or gua sha with your initial acupuncture session!

Got questions? Feel free to message me here or shoot me an email. For those interested, the booking link is below. Let's make acupuncture accessible to all! 🌟

🤍 I wanted to re-introduce myself since I’ve gotten a few new followers 🤍

I’m Josie Lynch, R.Ac aka The Little Acupuncturist 🪻
If you’ve met me before, you know why I’ve chosen that name. I’m short but mighty, just like the tiny needles I use everyday in my treatments ✨

I am a recent graduate of a 3 year Acupuncture program located right here in Halifax!
I often get asked how I chose acupuncture or how I knew I wanted to be an acupuncturist and the real answer is that I didn’t know. I chose Acupuncture on a whim when a friend had mentioned they were thinking about going to school for it. At the time I had just spent about a year working as a administrative assistant after dropping out of university and truthfully had no idea what I was doing. I didn’t even really know what acupuncture was and only had my first treatment after I had applied to go to school!
But as they do, everything worked out and I am truly working in a career that I love and love to learn more about everyday. Who doesn’t want that?

I have a love for treating things like hormone regulation (PMS, menopause, PCOS) as I experience this issue personally! I have PCOS and at one point wouldn’t get my period for 3 months 😮 While some might dread getting their period and would love not to have one, our menstrual cycle is a reflection of our overall health and has been called our fifth vital sign 🌹
With consistent acupuncture treatments, I was able to get my cycle down to 34 days!

I love my job and I love seeing new and familiar faces on my treatment bed. There’s nothing better than when someone comes back for a 2nd treatment and cannot believe that acupuncture really helped them.
I hope to meet some new faces soon and as always if you have any questions at all feel free to send me a message 💌

Feeling worn out, overwhelmed, or stressed as the back-to-school season ramps up? I invite you to visit me in clinic and carve out a precious hour to an hour and a half for yourself.

Acupuncture is a powerful tool for resetting your body's stress response, and restoring balance to neurotransmitters and hormones. Stress can trigger the release of hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, designed to help us cope with life's demands. However, chronic stress can deplete serotonin levels, the hormone responsible for happiness and well-being. Acupuncture helps to harmonize these hormones and alleviate symptoms of anxiety.

As we all settle back into the routines of the new school year, prioritizing self-care becomes paramount. I'm thrilled to extend my promotional prices until the end of October, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.

Don't let stress and anxiety stop you from enjoying the new school year to the fullest. Book your session with me today, and let acupuncture be your gateway to a calmer, more balanced life.
