Tuesday online- somatic dance!
There is a lot of power in moving in your own space, developing safety and connection with your body- dancing for yourself.

Early spring in Wisconsin! A couple updates….A few appointments have opened up in the next week.

I have limited openings the next month while I give priority to my recurring clients.

May will be a busy month for me with a high school graduate to celebrate! 👩‍🎓💜

If you can’t find an appointment- schedule for June, and call or text to add your name to the waitlist.

If you need an herbal formula refill, call or text and I can get that ready for you usually the same day or the next day.

Have a beautiful week!

This local film will have showings Sunday 4/19 in Menomonie (link in comments) and in Eau Claire next weekend.
Seems like a great way to start a conversation with loved ones about end of life. What do you hope your health care and end of life will look like?

Since the pandemic, I pause for tea time most afternoons. I’m aware it’s been a while since I made a tea time post….Here I am,
also enjoying the sunshine!

A blend of milky oats, chamomile, tulsi and I’m not sure what else (the bag says Nervine blend, it is from the Shared Herbal Garden which I am a part of. I love the western herbalist take on things and for me it is peaceful energy to tend the plants and be with like minded individuals, and the flowers and bees. I even get to grow and tend and play with a few herbs we use in Chinese herbal medicine too).

the smell of the tea
the sunshine
Are all adding to my joy today thinking about summer fun in the garden. 🪏🌱🌻🫜🐝

This is the reminder from your Acupuncturist to pause for a cup of tea or a glass of water and a check in with yourself.
