Summer has arrived in the Okanagan Valley and we are well into the Fire season within the five elements in Chinese Medicine. Summer is also known as yáng within yáng, when everything in nature is bursting full of life such as the garden flowers smiling up at the sun, fruits taking form in the orchards, and early summer vegetables being ready for picking! With this expansion of new life, I am re-blooming my newsletter that I started in 2021 and then completely forgot about in the business of running an independent practice. A lot has changed in my practice since then, such as the addition of two community acupuncture locations, and a newsletter is a wonderful way to communicate my offerings, especially as people become more conscious about their social media usage.

✨️Community Acupuncture is coming to Summerland!✨️ It's no secret that I've been loving our community acupuncture evenings at Cedar and Soul Wellness in Penticton, so I am so happy to be offering community acupuncture sessions now at their sister clinic, Essential Balance Healing Collective in Summerland! These sessions will run on the last Sunday of the month from 11:00am-2:00pm. The schedule didn't line up perfectly with prior engagements throughout the summer, so our dates getting started are Sunday July 27th, August 24th, October 5th, November 30th, and December 28th! These are all available online for booking, as are the upcoming Wednesday evenings at Cedar and Soul: July 16th, August 13th, and September 17th! Online booking is available at: https://kylierodger.janeapp.com/

Community Acupuncture treatments take place in an open room along with other individuals also receiving an acupuncture treatment. This style of acupuncture includes less time talking at the start of your treatment and more time relaxing on the table, dropping all those daily tensions. The collective energy of several individuals entering a healing state in the same space is unique to community acupuncture, similar to group meditation.

In my practice, I use a style of acupuncture that involves the palpation of the abdomen and acupuncture channels of the arms and legs to assess how the qì is flowing within the body. This allows one to find areas where the qì isn’t flowing optimally. The body is the guide for treatment and it gives instant feedback after needle insertion so we can assess how things are changing in real time. This system often uses minimal needles which is wonderful for needle sensitive folks, and often patients report dropping into a deeper state with this style.

A few important things to know for your appointment:

✨️ Please come to your appointment wearing loose clothing that can easily be pulled up a few inches above your elbows and knees. Throughout your treatment I will be feeling the acupuncture meridians on your legs and your abdomen; having a loose fitting waistband will have you most comfortable.
✨️ Community acupuncture consists of minimal talking so we do not disturb the fellow acu-nappers in the room. To help minimize talking, please write what you would like to focus on for your treatment within the "reason for booking" textbox and/or on your intake form.
✨️ Please also refrain from wearing any scents to your appointment.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been supporting community acupuncture in the valley! It has been so wonderful to see pre-existing and new patients at these events! If you've got any questions at all, please feel welcome to reach out to me.

In gratitude,
Kylie 🧚‍♀️✨️

Community Acupuncture at Cedar and Soul Wellness in Penticton has officially bloomed, and I could not be more grateful for how our first evening went. I was born and raised in Penticton, and when I moved back to the Okanagan Valley after Chinese Medicine school, there was a magnificent rainbow arching over the lake as we arrived back in the valley between Penticton and Summerland. I knew eventually I would have an offering in that part of the valley where my family has been for generations, and I've been waiting for years for this to come to fruition. I am so grateful to Cedar & Soul Wellness for welcoming me into their beautiful space with such open arms, and so grateful to all of the sweet souls who came to our first evening! Thank you as well to the other Acupuncturists in the area who have reached out to show your support - I am so grateful to work in the valley with such a supportive network of colleagues! The rest of our schedule for the summer is live for booking on my Janeapp (link in bio!)! The dates are Wednesday May 14th, June 18th, July 16th, August 13th, and September 17th. If you've got any questions, feel welcome to send me a message!
