The weather may hint at spring, but we are still in winter.
Tending to your core now, even when you feel the pull to do more, will support you when the energy truly rises and moves toward the surface.

We’re moving from inner work to outward movement.

The Fire Horse year brings momentum, courage, and visibility.

Fire awakens the Heart for more joy, connection, and purpose.

The Horse adds motion, independence, and forward drive.

This isn’t about rushing. It’s about acting from clarity instead of hesitation.

If the last year taught you who you are, this year asks how you’ll live it.

Less overthinking. More aligned action.

The energy is shifting.

Feeling unsure how to move with it? We are here to support you.

The Year of the Wood Snake asked us to slow down, look inward, and shed what no longer fits.

Old identities.
Old patterns.
Old plans that quietly expired.

In Classical Chinese Medicine, Wood energy governs vision and direction.

If this year felt reflective, frustrating, or emotionally revealing, you weren’t behind.

You were right on time.

Before we move forward, we honor what ended.

Growth doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like a release.

We can gently support you.

It’s 2 a.m.

You were exhausted when you went to bed… but now you’re wide awake. Again.

Your mind is racing. Your body won’t settle. You’re doing the math in your head, trying to calculate how much sleep you’ll get if you fall asleep right now.

Sound familiar?

At EAC, we see this constantly especially in winter. Insomnia doesn’t always mean trouble falling asleep. Sometimes it looks like waking between 1–3am, restless light sleep, or waking too early and never fully dropping back in.

In Classical Chinese Medicine, insomnia isn’t just a sleep problem. It’s a sign that your system is out of balance. The mind and Heart aren’t communicating. The Liver is overactive from stress or trauma. Or your reserves are depleted, which is common this time of year.

So we don’t just knock you out with herbs or tell you to “relax.” We figure out why your body can’t rest and address it at the root. Acupuncture helps release what’s stuck, calm the nervous system, and restore the flow that allows real sleep to happen again.

Imagine waking up actually rested not just functional, not just surviving the day, but restored.

That's what we're working toward.
