Happy Halloween friends!

A little anatomy humor for some Halloween giggles. Also, I think I’d more scared of the nervous system too! A lot more power in the way we feel and interpret the world in it than the skeleton. It takes way more for the skeleton to be rattled!!

If you didn’t know already acupuncture, cupping and even relaxation massage can help take the scary out of your nervous system. I provide all three at Inhale.

Taking new patients in January and booking returns in January, February and March right now. My schedule is booked through end of year.

Looking ahead to 2026NEW CLINIC HOURS REMINDER.As a reminder, starting November 2025, my hours are changing. I will continue to be in the clinic Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with some adjusted hours. I will still see 5-6 patients per day, just in a condensed time period, which means at certain tim...

I cannot accept new patients until January 2026.
If you want to work with me and are a new patient, please call now to book in for a treatment plan in January 2026.

I’m so grateful my practice has grown and for the dedication to wellness all my patients have. These days, I am quite busy and booked fully with few cancellations. While this is great for my practice and my current patients, it does make it difficult to get in to see me quickly.

If you’ve been consider acupuncture and you’ve been referred to me by your doctor, friends or family, I want to be part of your team and help get you to the next level of your healing journey. Please contact me and let’s get you in the fold starting in January so you have a fresh new outlook in the new year!

Back in May, I had the privilege to work with this patient with Bell’s Palsy. I was able to see her 4 days after onset, which is so important to restore function and increases the chances of full recovery. We documented our three treatment journey. She had the same white shirt on for treatment two and three.

I wrote a case study blog post on my website which you can read through the link in my bio. All these pictures and videos were used with her full permission, and the case study was reviewed by her for approval before posting.

Slide 1: initial assessment photo with deviated tongue, inability to close eye on affected side, and muscle spasticity on affected side.

Slide 2: electro stimulation on facial muscles to restore function.

Slide 3: Video of electro stimulation in action with open and close of eye lid

Slide 4: image of treatment two pre treatment assessment. She can close her eyes!!

Slide 5: video of electro stimulation on facial points slightly adjusted for where recovery still needed

slide 6: video assessment at end of 2nd treatment

Slide 7: video assessment at end of 3rd treatment.

There is a remarkable difference and improvement in video post treatment 2 and 3 on slide 6 and 7. Note eyebrow lift, and right corner of mouth for greatest visible changes.

If you want to read my case study, points I used, stimulation settings and other info about our treatments, go check out my blog post in linktree in my bio.

If you want to work with me to restore your own health and wellbeing, send me a chat and let’s get into it. I’m here to help and love to see you live your best life!!

Starting November 1, 2025, my clinic hours are changing. With shorter days and more darkness, I want to honor my body’s needs for more rest and recovery. As you probably know I go pretty hard in clinic and my personal life from March through October when there are longer days and more yang energy available. This year, I’ve decided to follow the seasonal change and take more rest to recover my energies during the winter yin time months. Since 2023, my body has been craving a slower pace, and I’ve been resisting. As a result, I’m noticing more fatigue, random ailments (like that crazy eye infection), and a general low energy for things I love to do. In order to serve my patients well, and follow my own advice, I’m moving to a slower pace to allow recovery.

As you will see I will not have 5:30 “after work” appointments available in the winter. Please consider (for the one time a month you see me for a tune up) adjusting your work schedule to come a little earlier if you are typically booking in at 5:30.

Winter is a time to slow down, nurture, reflect and rejuvenate. I plan on following the advice I give you, and doing winter much slower this year.

I’m already booking in late October and November. Please feel free to reach out if you want to secure time. Additionally, I cannot see new patients until November. If you have been planning to work with me, call now to book in to the schedule then. It will be full by the time November gets here.

Thank you for your understanding and support. It’s always been my mission to not only treat you and help you find your optimal life, but to model the behaviors that help you get there.

PSA: getting an appointment with me last minute is very near impossible. I will “squeeze you in” for a time sensitive issue. What qualifies as time sensitive to me??

• stoke within one -two weeks of occurrence
• Bell’s palsy diagnosis within one week of occurrence
• fertility treatments at least 4 weeks before an insemination attempt (but I’d rather see you longer for better success)
• acute sprained ankle within first 2-3 days after it happens
• a few other acute injuries / ailments as long as you contact me within the first week of them happening

Everything else, if you’ve had it going on for weeks or longer, especially conditions you’ve been dealing with for years and acupuncture is the last thing you’re thinking to try, are worked into my next available openings - usually 4-6 weeks out from when you call me.

I have a very busy clinic schedule and am more than happy to be on your care team. It will take time to get in the rotations. Often people find that acupuncture and treatment with me help when nothing else has. But, unless it is in the above list, it is not an emergency and a few more weeks to wait to get in to see me after years is no time at all.

So please call now for scheduling and take my advice for scheduling multiple visits in a row so we can get you back to a better place. Acupuncture works. It’s a process. Trust my expertise. Together we can get you into a better quality of life, even if it’s another 4-6 weeks before we get started.

I’m here to help. Let me know how I can help you.

I’ve spent the summer teaching Tuesday night pop up yoga classes all over Athens. Each location is choosen to offer a new place to experience the beauty that Athens has to offer. Tonight we practiced at Sells Park. It was a small group but we loved the location, intermingling with people as they passed us on the path and taking in the beautiful new dancing girl sculptures in the pond. I have one more class next Tuesday, Aug 26. Don’t know where we will be yet but I’m sure it will be wonderful.

PopUp Yoga with Michelle today, Tuesday July 8 from 5:30-6:30pm. It’s gonna be a hot one so let’s go play by the lake. I plan to paddle and swim after if you want to join. I won’t have cell service once I get there. So hit me up with questions before 4:45.

Location: Strouds Run Peninsula. Come out to the beach and pass it in the parking lot to the end before you turn and go back up the hill. The shelter house pavilion is there. Park in the spots around the area.

What to bring: $10-20 cash for class, and yoga mat. Options that would also be good, 2 blocks, blanket and strap. You’ll be fine without these but will miss some depth to the poses without them.

If you’ll be a few minutes late (5min or less), you can come in quietly and set up in the back, otherwise we will see ya next week at our next class.

let me know if you’ll make it this week.

PopUp Yoga with Michelle today, Tuesday June 17 from 5:30-6:30pm. Looks like it might rain so I’m gonna set us an outdoor location that we can go indoors if need be.

Location: Baker Center roof top patio is where we will be if it’s not raining. If it is, we will go to the trusty indoor 5th floor Baker Center Atrium. The rooftop is by the stairs on the left of the building. There is a brick archway there. Come through it and around. If indoors, Come to the very top of baker center taking the stairs to get to the 5th floor atrium. Parking is at meters or in the purple lots around that should be fine after 5. Read the signs to be sure.

What to bring: $10-20 cash for class, and yoga mat. Options that would also be good, 2 blocks, blanket and strap. You’ll be fine without these but will miss some depth to the poses without them.

If you’ll be a few minutes late (5min or less), you can come in quietly and set up in the back, otherwise we will see ya next week at our next class.
