“The condition of modernity and tragedy are based on two things: separation from nature and distrust of our emotions.”
~ Stephen Toulmin

This quote was introduced to me in my first semester of acupuncture school by one of my favourite teachers, Peter Conway. It resonated immediately.

At the time, I was already starting to recognize the ways I had become disconnected from my body, from my environment, and from my own emotional landscape. Reading these words confirmed something I already knew but hadn’t fully named and acted as a recalibration in a sense. The quote comes from Cosmopolis by Stephen Toulmin, a book that looks at how we’ve come to think and live the way we do.

In my home clinic, I have a vintage message board where I share quotes like this. Words that have guided me through different chapters of my life. You could call me impressionable, but I can point to more than a few phrases that have quietly shaped the decisions I’ve made, and the direction I’ve taken.

Some stay up for a few days, others for a few weeks. However long it takes.

Because the ones that matter usually aren’t one-time insights, they’re reminders I need to come back to, again and again.
I’ll be sharing more of these from my clinic as they go up. What are some of your favourite quotes?

I’m excited to share that starting April 6th, I’ll be bringing my acupuncture practice to Metchosin, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

You’ll find me at Metchosin Wellness Collective (4495 Happy Valley Road) on Mondays and Fridays, nestled inside the old Metchosin Elementary School. It’s a special space, and I have a feeling it’s going to be a really beautiful place to do this work.

I’ll still be at my home clinic in Esquimalt on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, so nothing changes there for those of you who already come to see me on those days.

If you’ve been curious about acupuncture, or if Metchosin is simply closer to home, I’d love to welcome you. Spots are available now, link in bio to book at either location. 🌿

If you're in southern BC, spring has come early this year and your body may not have caught up. Allergy season is upon us and you can still get ahead of the game. See the link in my bio for bookings and a link to research about treating seasonal allergies with acupuncture.

With Chinese New Year arriving, we’re moving into the energy of the Fire Horse. A time of forward motion, renewal, and creating change where things have felt stuck. If someone you know could use support, I’d love to care for them. As a thank you for referrals, when someone you send completes their first visit, I’ll add $25 off your next treatment, or you can choose to add-on facial gua sha. Your trust and word-of-mouth are what keeps this practice growing, and I’m deeply grateful for this community.

Inside my dedicated practice space. This room is cozy and warm in the winter, and cool and comfortable in the summer.

As we transition from autumn into winter, we’re invited to reflect on the lessons gathered over these past months and seasons. Whether they arrived gently or were difficult to digest, they serve as markers of growth. When shame colours this process, integration and acceptance can become murky. Pain can show up both physically and emotionally when the cycle of transformation has been blocked, creating literal stagnation in the body and mind.
Do you feel the weight of self-criticism?
How loud is that inner voice, and what might help you see things more objectively so that you can offer yourself grace and acceptance?
I offer support with integration, acceptance, and letting go.
Winter doesn’t have to be heavy.

You are not a machine, a rock or superhuman. This is your friendly neighbourhood acupuncturist reminding you to bring those shoulders down, (you are probably carrying a little too much on them anyway), and find time to take care of yourself.

Acupuncture and cupping can help relieve chronic neck and shoulder tension, tension headaches, migraines, overstrained eyes, and lower back pain. All symptoms of stress and overwhelm.

You and your health absolutely matter, please don't white-knuckle it this holiday season.

My first blog post is up. I wrote it for those looking for a little more context about Chinese medicine and how it compares to Western medicine.

Let me know what you think!
