🔥 Hong Kong Fire – As a clinic with many clients from Hong Kong, we have been closely following the tragic fire incident. Many of you still have family and loved ones in the city — we stand with you during this difficult time.

我們診所不少客人來自香港。近日香港發生的嚴重火警，我們一直密切留意。你們的家人和朋友都在那裡，我們明白這段時間帶來的憂慮與心痛。

❤️ Why We Care | 為何我們特別關注

A large portion of our AcuElements community — parents, newborns, postpartum mothers, and families — came from Hong Kong.

Our RMT & IBCLC, Catherine, also grew up in Hong Kong before moving to Canada. This is her home community too.

在 AcuElements，很多客人、家長、初生嬰兒、坐月媽媽，都來自香港。
我們的 RMT 及 IBCLC Catherine 亦在香港成長，之後才移居加拿大。
因此，這件事對我們整個團隊和社群都有很深的感受。

🤝 How It May Affect You | 情緒與身體可能出現的反應

When our heart is unsettled, the body reacts:

• sleep disruption
• chest or shoulder tightness
• headaches
• appetite changes
• milk supply fluctuation (for breastfeeding parents)

當心情受到衝擊，身體會自然反應：

• 失眠
• 胸口或肩背繃緊
• 頭痛
• 食慾改變
• 哺乳媽媽可能出現奶量波動

If you notice these signs, you are not alone. We are here to support you with safe, trauma-informed care.

如你最近感到身體不適或情緒不穩，請知道這是正常反應，我們會陪你度過。

⸻

From Our Clinic to Your Families in Hong Kong — stay safe.

願香港的家人平安無事。

🍁That’s a wonderful way to end the weekend — genuine appreciation from a client is always meaningful. 💜5 Months of Pain, 1 Moment of Clarity ✨ Before her wedding, she had struggled with ni**le trauma for five long months — visiting many well-known lactation consultants across town. It wasn’t until she realized the true key to success: her own comfort. 💛 No one else can feed with your body. No technique matters if you are in pain. Once she focused on herself — her posture, her release, her boundaries — everything changed. Feeding became calm, connected, and pain-free… just in time for her wedding day. 💐 Don’t sacrifice your feelings for the sake of “doing it right.” No matter how old your baby is — call Catherine and let’s fix it, together. 🌿

💜We are grateful to have the knowledge, skills, and space to serve you. It has been a joy to witness the growth of a beautiful, supportive community—each of you becoming stronger, healthier, and more balanced in your own unique ways.
🍂Wishing you a nourishing, restful, and joyful Thanksgiving long weekend—filled with connection, care, and love.

Respect, humility and care.

Our RMT and lactation consultant, Catherine recently visited a client’s home—not just to provide care, but to transform the space and support the whole journey of recovery and motherhood.

She helped reset the client’s living and feeding routine, shared practical life tips, and reorganized the bathroom and bedroom for better function and comfort.

Catherine didn’t just meet expectations—she set a new standard. One that’s hard to match. 💪 ❤️

As a brand new young immigrant, survival was important. I needed to support myself, to find stability in a place where everything was new—language, culture, expectations. The pressure was real, and life was not easy. But within me was a deep desire to heal, to care, and to build a life rooted in purpose. I found that path in nursing.

And that was twenty years ago, I graduated from my first nursing program(LPN). This career has done more than teach me about medicine—it taught me the universal language of compassion, kindness, deep human connection, and being a service to others.

This career also gives me a second family—my fellow nurses. We looked out for each other. We shared long shifts, tough days, laughter, and a secret code—one not written in textbooks or spoken out loud, but felt in every act of care.

That code is LOVE.

And every time I put on my scrubs, I’m reminded:

I found my place— where we feel at one.

I am home.

🍼 BC Leads in Cesarean Deliveries! 🍼

🌟From 2018-2022, British Columbia had the highest rate of Cesarean section deliveries in Canada (excluding Quebec) at 38.6%. While C-sections prioritize maternal and fetal wellbeing, their recovery is often underestimated.

⭐️TCM: After a C-section, the incision cuts through the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel), disrupting vital energy flow that requires restoration. As Acupuncturists, we offer specialized treatment for C-section scars to aid recovery.

⭐️ Pelvic physiotherapy: addresses pelvic floor impacts crucial for recovery, while massage therapy helps alleviate muscle tension.

⭐️ Breastfeeding support: post-C-section BF challenges are common, but our lactation consultants can provide valuable support.

🥹Unlike typical abdominal surgeries with 4-6 weeks of recovery, C-section recovery demands more as mothers transition directly into full-time caregiving.

💜Let AcuElements assist in your post-C-section recovery (treatment should start 6 weeks postpartum) 💖
