You don’t need to be calmer.

You need things to move.

This is something I say a lot in clinic, especially this time of year.

When Qi gets stuck, you might feel:
• Tension in your body
• Irritation you can’t quite explain
• Digestive shifts tied to stress
• That “on edge” feeling all day

Trying to force calm on top of that usually doesn’t work.

Movement does.

Sometimes that’s:
• Acupuncture
• Sometimes cupping or gua sha
• Sometimes the right herbal formula (prescribed, not guessed)
• Sometimes it’s as simple as walking… without your phone

If you’ve been trying to push through it alone, you don’t have to.

Spring is not gentle.

In Chinese medicine, spring is about movement.

And when things start moving after being stuck all winter, it can feel like:
• Irritability
• PMS flaring
• Waking up at 3am
• Feeling overwhelmed by small decisions

Nothing is wrong with you.

This is often Liver Qi stagnation. Things are trying to move.

And what your body needs isn’t more suppression.

It needs support to move.

Acupuncture, bodywork, and the right herbal support can help regulate this so you don’t feel stuck in it.

And just to say:
Herbs, cupping, and gua sha are powerful tools, but they’re not DIY trends. They work best when they’re tailored to you.

🌍 World Health Day

Health isn’t just about what’s happening inside your body.

It’s also about:
• The stress you’re carrying
• The world you’re living in
• The support you do or don’t have

I see this every day in clinic.

People come in with pain, hormone shifts, sleep issues, fertility concerns.
And underneath it, there’s often a nervous system that’s been holding a lot for a long time.

Acupuncture is one way to support your body in processing that.

Not by forcing it to “calm down”
But by helping things regulate and move again.

If your body has been asking for support, this is your reminder to listen 💚

In East Asian medicine, we say:

“The Liver stores the Blood.”

This is especially important for fertility.

Healthy Blood supports:
→ A strong uterine lining
→ Nourished follicles
→ Regular cycles

But here is something many people don’t hear:

You can have enough Blood…
and still feel off if it is not moving well.

That is where Liver Qi comes in.

When Qi flows, Blood follows.

When it doesn’t:
• Cycles can become irregular
• PMS can increase
• The body can feel stuck

This is why I love working with patients in early spring 🌿

The body is ready to shift.

💚 If you are preparing for pregnancy, in the middle of your journey, or just want to feel more at home in your body, I would love to support you.

Happy Holi to all who celebrate 🌈

Holi marks the arrival of spring—a celebration of color, renewal, and the victory of light over darkness.

It is a reminder that even after long winters, life returns, color returns, possibility returns.

In many ways, this mirrors what we see in the body this time of year.

After a season of rest and conservation, things begin to move again.

Not all at once.
Not forcefully.
But steadily.

🌿 In Chinese medicine, this is the season of growth, vision, and gentle emergence.

Where can you allow a little more color back into your life right now?

💚 Wishing you a season of renewal, movement, and moments of joy.

Feeling a little more irritable, off-cycle, or just not quite like yourself lately?

You are not imagining it.

In Chinese medicine, spring is the season of the Liver, which is deeply connected to:

• Hormone balance
• Menstrual cycles
• Fertility
• Emotional flow

When Liver Qi is flowing well, things feel smoother.

When it gets stuck (very common this time of year), you might notice:

✨ PMS symptoms
✨ Irregular cycles
✨ Breast tenderness
✨ Waking between 1–3am
✨ That “on edge” feeling

Spring is about movement—but if your body is still coming out of winter, that movement can feel like pressure.

Acupuncture helps restore flow—not force.

💚 If your cycle feels off or you are trying to conceive, this is a powerful time to begin.

Happy Pi Day 🥧

I reminds us that some things in life are beautifully complex and endlessly unfolding.

Health can feel that way too.

Healing is rarely a straight line. It moves in cycles, rhythms, and patterns. Sometimes the body just needs a little support to find its way back to balance.

And sometimes it also needs pie.

If your body has been asking for support lately, acupuncture can help.

Cooling Foods for Headaches

In Chinese medicine, certain foods can help calm tension patterns in the body.

If headaches are related to Liver Yang rising, cooling foods can help balance the system.

Try adding:

🌿 Mint tea
🥒 Cucumber

Both help gently cool and soothe the body.

An herb often used in Chinese medicine for this pattern is Gou Teng, which helps calm rising tension.

Food, herbs, acupuncture, and lifestyle changes often work best together.

Small daily habits can make a big difference.

A Note About Referrals 💚

One responsibility I take seriously as a healthcare provider is who I refer my patients to.

Referrals are not only about clinical skill. They are also about whether I feel confident that the people I recommend will treat patients with respect, dignity, and care.

I periodically review my referral network to make sure the practitioners I recommend share commitments that matter deeply in healthcare:

• Respect for patients
• An inclusive and welcoming environment
• Evidence-informed approaches to health and safety

Recently, a conversation with a colleague who appeared to be pro-ICE prompted me to reflect more deeply on this and update parts of my referral list. This was not a conversation I expected to have, but I want to make lemonade out of lemons.

My goal is always simple:
If I refer you to someone, I want you to feel safe, respected, and supported.

If you ever need help finding a practitioner in another field, I’m always happy to help connect you with people who provide thoughtful and compassionate care.

Headaches and jaw tension often have a stress connection.

In Chinese medicine, tension headaches are frequently related to Liver Qi stagnation and Liver Yang rising. When stress builds and Qi cannot move smoothly, pressure can travel upward into the head and neck.

Common signs include:

• Tight jaw or TMJ
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Irritability or feeling wired
• Headaches that worsen with stress

The body is incredibly intelligent. Sometimes headaches are simply a signal that something needs to move.

Acupuncture can help restore circulation, relax the nervous system, and release tension patterns in the body.

If headaches have been bothering you, acupuncture may help.

Because I sensed this would be a fast, intense year (hello Fire Horse 🔥🐎), I signed up for Qigong teacher training at Zen Shiatsu in Chicago.

Qigong is moving meditation.
It regulates the nervous system.
It supports Liver Qi.
It grounds fire energy.

If you’re curious about starting:

✨ Sue at Zen Shiatsu (Chicago)
✨ Lee Holden online (wonderful, accessible classes)
✨ Arlene Faulk’s tai chi classes at Heartwood (right here in Skylight!)

In a year that feels fast, Qigong reminds me:

Movement can be slow.
Intentional.
Rooted.

At some point I may teach — but right now I’m loving being a student again 💚

Spring is not a race.
It is a rhythm.

I support people in two ways:

🌿 Acupuncture — regulating the nervous system, smoothing Liver Qi, supporting cycles, sleep, and pain relief.

🔮 Astrology readings — understanding your natal chart, current transits, eclipses, and longer cycles so you can move with clarity.

If you’re feeling:
• Reactive
• Stuck
• Unsure of your next step
• Physically tight or emotionally overwhelmed

You don’t have to push through.

You can align instead.
