Nature’s going to bed earlier, maybe you should too.

As the world around us slows down and spends time in darkness, our systems crave deep rest and renewal as well.

But sometimes the cultural activities of the season or the news cycle keep you up late scrolling or socializing and then when you want sleep, it doesn't come so easily.

Acupuncture quiets the mind and your whole system so you can get more restorative sleep.

😴 The real question isn't as much exactly when or how much you sleep but how rested you are when you get up. Are you refreshed or are you dragging?

If you're dragging, let's see what we can do together. Reach out or schedule online.

Your neck and shoulder tension isn’t necessarily just posture, it is also the mental and emotional load you carry.

Stress is often carried in the upper back and shoulders and locks into chronic patterns, cutting off circulation.

A few gentle acupuncture points release both muscle and mental tension fast. Things move more freely and qi flow returns.

Waking up tired even after 8 hours? That’s not normal...your body’s talking.

Chronic stress drains adrenal Qi.

Acupuncture resets the parasympathetic nervous system so you can truly recharge.

Cold feet? Achy joints? Low mood? Your body’s trying to tell you something.

In Chinese Medicine, qi circulating in your system smoothly keeps you warm, moving, and motivated.

When qi is depleted, you feel tired, achy or ungrounded.

As the weather changes, staying warm is important because cold slows down the movement of qi and if things become too stuck, pain and dysfunction result.

You can keep yourself warm inside and out with things like tea with warming spices (think ginger, cinnamon, cardamom), cozy clothing layers and warm foods.

In the clinic, I use a therapy called moxibustion to warm the achy areas and fortify the qi. Moxa (as we usually call it) is wonderful for the kind of aches and pains that come with the cold or damp weather. When it is combined with acupuncture keep the Qi circulating smoothly, the result is pain relief.

💬 Which helps you relieve your pain fastest—does movement or a hot bath or shower help?

Acupuncture helps stabilizes blood sugar and calms the fight-or-flight loop that drives emotional eating.
