NOT ALIVE

“Not-alive women” — they live among us.
And sometimes… inside us.
You know her.
Sometimes, you are her.

She is beautiful, composed, intelligent.
She works, solves, carries everything.
Her manicure is on time, her skin glows, reports submitted, children fed, plans made, goals lined up neatly — like little soldiers.

Life seems perfect.

But if you look closer, you see it:
an ideal package with nothing inside.

✨ There is no fire in her eyes.
Only a polished, spotless emptiness.

She smiles. Jokes. Says things like, “Oh, I’m great!”
But inside — silence.
A Monday-museum kind of silence.

The body moves, but it doesn’t live.
There is s*x, but it feels like following a manual:
inhale–exhale, don’t forget to turn off the iron.

She says,
“I’m managing.”
But deep inside a whisper answers:
“I don’t feel anything.”

This is not depression.
This is when your true self has been carefully placed on a shelf, tucked away —
so it doesn’t bother, doesn’t feel, doesn’t want, doesn’t ask.

She rests but never relaxes.
She lives but doesn’t come alive.

🔥 And now the most important part.
Acupuncture helps women reconnect with their real selves — warm, alive, sensitive.

With support. With care. With love.
You don’t have to do this alone.
And you are not alone.

Living women walk beside you.
It’s your turn.

Acupuncture can help you come back to yourself.

Lately I’ve been thinking about how much of our inner life is driven by one impulse:
the need to have answers.

Not scientific answers or discoveries those move humanity forward.
I mean the urge to know, to predict, to feel safe.

But imagine a life not ruled by the constant search for answers.

What if the true measure of maturity is the ability to hold a question without rushing to close it?

And it’s so uncomfortable to sit with an unanswered question:

“Does he like me?”
“Will I be able to defend my project?”
“Will the deal go through?”
“Will my child get accepted?”

But what if we tried even for a moment not to chase the answer?
What if we allowed ourselves to stay in the space of observation,
to simply watch what unfolds?

Maybe the highest level of development
is not certainty, but the capacity to stay open.

Let’s think about this together. 🤍✨

I’m over the moon! This Wednesday I start working in my new clinic, and the first week is already fully booked.
Thank you for trusting me — even while half the furniture is still on the way.
Your trust is priceless.

As I get ready to open my acupuncture clinic, some mornings I wake up feeling like, “What if I can’t do this? What if it doesn’t go as planned?”

Sometimes the weight of everything just feels heavy. I wish someone could just say, “I believe in you.”

But I’m learning that the support I really need starts inside me.
When doubt shows up, I take a breath and tell myself:

“Olya, I believe in you. Even if it doesn’t go perfectly, I’m still with you.”

Healing isn’t about being fearless; it’s about staying with yourself, even when things feel messy.

Being strong but also letting yourself receive support when you need it that’s the same balance I aim for in acupuncture and in life.

We’re human. We wobble. And that’s okay. 🌱

The spot is filled.

💛 I want to help you.

In difficult moments, reach out to people. It’s often through them that we find most of the answers to what’s happening during life’s highs and lows.

I understand: not everyone has a reliable, close person to trust in the most important moments. If you find yourself facing challenges alone, acupuncture and I can support you.

Sometimes, all you need is silence and reassurance to hear, “I see you, and you will be okay.”

Along my journey, I’ve collected precious little stones, and now I place them along yours.

Sadness is the connective tissue of the soul.
It’s what helps us heal, restore, and mend.
When someone says, “Don’t be sad,” I sigh and ask:
— Why not?

Why is it okay to feel joy, anger, or empathy but not sadness?

Being sad is so natural, so peaceful.
Sadness has an important purpose.
It whispers: “Stop for a moment. Be with yourself. Wrap up in a blanket. Pour some tea. Let’s sit with that deep wound you carry it needs care and attention.”

If we keep rushing and pushing sadness away, our emotional wounds never truly heal.
It’s like breaking your leg and hoping it will mend while you’re out dancing and watching movies.

Sadness, like pain, asks us to pause and gently cradle what’s hurting.

Don’t say “don’t be sad.”
Just bring a sad soul some tea and a warm blanket. 🍵🩵

Autumn is the season of sadness — in Chinese medicine, it’s the time for reflection and release.” 🍂

Why Choose Me as Your Acupuncturist

1) My experience with pain.
I have lived through pain — seven long years of it. I know its language, its silence, its weight. That experience allows me to meet my patients not just with knowledge, but with true understanding.

2) My resilience.
If you become my patient, I will not let you give up on yourself or your healing. We will search for answers together, and I will be by your side through every stage of recovery. I am on your team.

3) My empathy.
I feel people deeply — sometimes even from the next room. It is both my blessing and my burden. But it means that I see you, I hear you, and I care.

⚽ Intention Matters — On the Field and in the Clinic 🌿

I was at a soccer match with my son, watching the players move the ball with one goal in mind: to win. It may seem simple, but their focus and intention were unmistakable.

It made me think about acupuncture. When we treat a patient, intention matters just as much as skill.

Your intention to be healed, and my intention to help you heal, both matter.

Healing, in any form, is as much about mindful presence and conscious intention as it is about technique.

One of the strongest foundations of health is honesty.
Even small compromises with the truth affect the body. When you stay silent just to please someone, tension appears. When you agree to something that goes against you, headaches or fatigue often follow.

Often, we carry from childhood the habit of feeling responsible for other people’s emotions.
Maybe your aunt scolded you for being joyful while your mother was sick. Or your father’s bad mood meant you had to walk on eggshells. You learn: “I can’t be myself if someone in the house is suffering.”

So you become the one who constantly scans the room, adjusts, and serves the emotion that will keep everyone safe. As a child, this was a survival strategy. But as adults, we keep living this way at the cost of our own energy and authenticity.

This sensitivity can be a gift in my professional life: I choose to be attuned and emotionally present with my patients. But in my personal life, I return the responsibility for feelings back to the people who carry them.

This autumn, I’m choosing to release the old pattern of constantly adjusting to others. Like trees letting go of their leaves, I let go of what no longer serves me so I can breathe more freely and simply be myself.
