Acute pain is often simple — restore movement and the body resets.
Chronic pain is different. It asks why Qi keeps getting stuck in the first place.

In my newest blog, I share how acupuncture and tui na help move what’s stagnated and address the deeper root of recurring pain.: https://wix.to/cfwMgXB

When I treat pain with acupuncture and tui na, I can move what’s stuck — but real healing comes from understanding why Qi keeps getting stuck in the first place. This piece is about learning to listen when the body speaks.

We talk about self-care like it’s the solution—therapy for the mind, somatic work for the body, mindfulness for the stress.

But what if the pattern keeps recreating itself underneath all that effort?

In this post, I share how I work with acupuncture and conversation to help the body remember balance—so healing can hold instead of needing to be maintained.

The blog unpacks what “holistic” really means in practice—beyond the buzzwords of self-care—and why relief holds when the body and awareness work together.

Back-to-school season always comes with the same mix: new routines, less sleep, more stress - and soon enough, the coughs and colds start circulating.

Did you know acupuncture can help regulate stress, improve sleep, and support your body’s defenses — all of which lower your chances of getting sick in the first place?

It’s one of the simplest ways to keep your system steady when everything else is in flux. A few treatments now can set the tone for a healthier season ahead.

If your schedule’s already filling up, consider this your reminder to take care of you while you’re taking care of everyone else.

Some pain doesn’t start in the body.
But it always leaves a trail there.

I once treated a woman with stubborn neck pain. What finally released it wasn’t a new stretch or needle combo - it was grief. Unspoken, unacknowledged...And the points that held it? Lung-related - but found on her back.

This is what meridian theory allows us to do: map symptoms, trace patterns, and clear blocked paths - physical and emotional.

🌀 If you’ve tried everything and still don’t feel right, this one’s for you.

When the diagnosis doesn’t help… what do you do next?

Maybe you’ve been told everything looks “normal,”
Or maybe you’ve collected labels that still don’t explain why you feel off.

Chinese medicine starts somewhere else entirely:
Not by asking what’s wrong with you,
But by listening to what your body has been trying to say.

This new blog explores what happens when we stop chasing names - and start recognizing patterns.

What if your lungs are carrying what you never said goodbye to? 🫁 😞

Not a metaphor. Not a stretch. Just something I’ve seen—again and again—when grief doesn’t have somewhere to go.

Here’s a different lens, if you’re ready to see it:https://wix.to/ydRq2nY

I just had such deeply validating feedback from one of my long standing patients.

She was booking her next appointment after the session and said something along the lines of:

When you massage me, it feels like you’re putting my body back in order. Regular massage feels good, It's relaxing, but this is *different*.

And what struck me is - we’ve never talked about what I really do.
Not with my needles, not with my hands.
She’s been coming to me for a year and a half or so, and she also gets regular massage elsewhere. But this? This wasn’t about relaxation. It was her body telling her something was different, and her giving it words.

I actually told her how amazing that feedback was—because that’s exactly how I experience what I do. I’ve always believed it’s my frequency that does the work.
My hands and needles are just how that gets delivered.
And what she said landed so clearly because it came before any explanation. It wasn’t a reflection of what I told her - it was confirmation of what I’ve always known.
