Helloooo mid 30s! Thanks for the cold damp bi (arthritis) 2 days of cool temps and lots of moisture got the plants super happy and our joints left out of the party ~

🌧️ 🌿 😍🦵😩

Moxibustion is super effective & efficient at dispelling this cold dampness that likes to settle in our joints, promoting qi & blood circulation and warming us up. I was too lazy to get my needles (it is the weekend after all) but 15 minutes of moxa has us pain free today.

If you can relate, get in for a treatment! A few spots open this week :: https://acusimple.com/bookings/6435
🤗

Hope are enjoying a chill long weekend 💙🩵❤️

Isn't election season fun? 😧 Anxiety is high for many as we watch arguments + insults being hurdled from both sides; this type of discourse has contributed to record political polarization.

NPR reported today that research is showing how political isolation within our communities leads to poorer physical & mental health -- confirming a long-standing tenet of Traditional Chinese Medicine that emotions are a root cause of disease ☯️

One of my goals this year has been to listen with more compassion, soften my voice (both internal & external) & speak with kindness. These qualities reflect out to the world around us ~ though we may feel opposite to those with differing political ideals, we're all humans seeking a better life 💞

Our conversations in the clinic tend to go deep; and while we're not fixing democracy or the world's problems, the reset that comes with an acupuncture treatments helps to strengthen your resiliency to stress & feel more connected to yourself & the world around you. Schedule yourself your reset today @ www.bloomacuhealth.com 🤗

Treated a lot of pain in the clinic this week!

Combining modalities & creating comfortable space allows for deeper relaxation and healing.

Do you live with chronic pain? You deserve some acupuncture 😌 and cupping, and e-stim, tui na, maybe some Gua sha & definitely ear seeds 🤗❤️‍🩹

Allowing myself a l o n g e x h a l e as we usher in October and a new seasonal energy 🍂

September ended with competing in the Last Call Triathlon - a goal that was set for fun earlier this year, but resulted in this year’s theme of rising to the challenge with a new found level of confidence and contentment in self. It was never about winning or times, it was about finishing what I’d started.
» » This year’s been hard y’all- mothering 2 littles, keeping a business going, showing up for patients, trying to walk the walk in how I encourage others to.. training for this tri reminded me how giving myself “me time” ultimately made me a better mom, acupuncturist, human 🌻

Autumn is within the Metal element; inspiring structure and stability within our lives. We humans are creatures of habit and thrive in routine ~ hence summer being anxiety-provoking despite the fun. Lean into this seasonal shift by establishing a routine of attention to self; sign up for a regular exercise class, get into a meditation practice, schedule regular acupuncture appointments 😌

So much of life is out of our control ↠ what we can control is how we care for & prepare ourselves for the challenges that we will face

⁣
One last harvest 💫⁣
⁣
These yummies were buried under layers of soil, compost, dead leaves, wilted tops, fall debris - - just waiting to be unearthed, enjoyed, brought to their full potential. ⁣
⁣
The garden is such an amazing teacher :: we have our own treasure, our full potential that lies deep within us; often buried under fears, worries, criticisms, expectations. We are capable of tapping into this source of power, if we allow ourselves the chance, the pause, the breath to do so.⁣
⁣
Autumn is quickly coming to a close as we move towards the darkest, slowest time of year 🖤 it feels so good to get some final projects complete to fully sink into the rest of the winter season ☯︎ embracing the structure of Metal before Water takes over and encourages restoration. ⁣
⁣
Send my love & support out to those who need a little extra this time of year ✨

Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸⁣
⁣
I live in absolute awe of those who have committed / are still giving so much of themselves & their lives for the sake of our country. Though I don’t agree with war, I do not take for granted all of the benefits I live & breathe daily as an American woman.⁣
⁣
I’m hopeful that the way we care for our veterans after they’ve served is improving ~ from the inclusion of complementary medical services in VA plans to exploring different therapies for overcoming PTSD 🍄 ⁣
⁣
Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in treating PSTD, chronic pain, addiction and more both as an alternative & adjunct to conventional therapies. Promising research combines the 2 approaches; proving that utilizing all resources available achieves the best results ⚡️⁣

is in network with Tivity & Humana, both of which serve the VA ❤️ link in bio to schedule ✨

🍐😋⁣
⁣
Pears are a perfect food for Autumn as they support both organs of the season :: Lungs & Large intestine⁣
➺ they dissolve phlegm + nourish yin to combat dryness in the lungs⁣
➺ juicy moisture + fiber assists in keeping bowels moving ⁣
⁣
🫁💩⁣
⁣
As with all fruits, pears are best consumed whole for their fiber content; @ room temperature or cooked if you have sensitive digestion.⁣
➺ my fav is sliced on crusty bread with nut butter & cinnamon on top, with a hot cup of coffee on a crisp fall morning 🤗⁣
⁣
☯︎⁣
⁣
I ❤️ TCM because it teaches us the deeper meaning of eating seasonally; foods readily available help to appease symptoms that are common at the same time of year. ⁣
⁣
🍂 It’s been a dry + dusty fall thus far with lots of sticky congestion & dry coughs. Cough drops/syrup are helpful in the go, but you can help to balance out these symptoms long term by having fluid nourishing foods in your diet. ⁣
➺ adding some fat+protein like nuts or cheese helps to limit your blood glucose spike from the pear⁣
➺ steaming the fruit &/or adding ginger (fresh or ground) makes it easier to digest ⁣
➺ a drizzle of honey further soothes the throat & tonifies spleen qi to reduce further damp/phlegm production⁣

Each session includes individualized nutritional counseling where we talk about the energetics of foods ᯈ link in bio to schedule for holistic individualized health care 🌹🤗

🌎 »☾☽» 🪨⁣
Earth »☾☽» Metal⁣
⁣
There are 5 seasons according to TCM, each governed by 1 of 5 elements ↠ this past month was the shift from summer fire burning out » to late summer earth » now contracting further to the metal of autumn ⁣
⁣
↯⁣
⁣
Earth reflects the balance of Yang & Yin times of year ~ within us it governs our spleen & stomach where we turn all that we consume into energy, and provides nourishment to our visions & dreams so that they can manifest in our lives.⁣
ᯓ In CO, our earth season feels extended with warm afternoons, golden foliage🌻🌾, and abundant harvests still coming in~⁣
⁣
Metal is yin within yang; the start to when our energy turns inward to reflect & recharge. It governs our lungs & large intestine, organs that work to let go of waste within us. ⁣
ᯓ The autumn season reminds us how to let go as we watch the leaves fall and feel the days get shorter 🍂✨before we dip into the darkness of winter.⁣
⁣
These seasons are important times to nourish yourself & purge that which is no longer serving you ::⁣
🍠 whole grains, cooked starchy vegetables, legumes tonify spleen qi⁣
🧅 pungent foods i.e onions, garlic, radishes, mustard greens, cruciferous veg 🥦 dispel phlegm & regulate qi supporting lung function⁣
👣 walking in nature, feeling the earth beneath us helps to feel grounded & fully supported ⁣
📓 journaling helps to release unwanted worries from our minds & organize our thoughts ⁣
😌 acupuncture releases blockages within our bodies causing pain & disease⁣

What’s up social media world! 🤩 ⁣
I’m returning from a long summer hiatus, not exactly rested (is that even possible with a 1 year old?) but reinspired to share & learn here! 🤲🏼⁣
⁣
For my new friends on here, I thought I’d reintroduce myself ~ I’m Chloe » acupuncturist, herbalist, cupping extraordinaire, ear seeder, bookkeeper, front desk person, content creator, cleaning & laundry lady, plant caretaker, all-the-hats wearing person ☯️ ⁣
↠ I’m mama to a silly & cuddly 1 year old girl & groupie wife to a local rockstar 🤘🏼 ⁣
↠ I love growing my own food & exploring all the different ways to enjoy it 👩‍🌾🥘⁣
↠ I will play soccer as long as my body can keep up (yay acupuncture for keeping me healthy!) ⚽️ ⁣
↠ I practice living in harmony with the seasons to help me remain present & appreciate life’s joy at all times (key word 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘦 here 😉)⁣
↠ I unabashedly love communicating with emojis 😄🤪⁣
⁣
💫⁣
⁣
I love supporting my patients through health challenges & helping them discover the interconnectedness of mental, physical, emotional & spiritual health 🌀⁣
⁣
It is my goal here to share helpful wisdom from Traditional Chinese Medicine that you can assimilate into your everyday life, beautiful photos & words that give you a reason to pause & reflect, and some realness to bridge the gap of this digital world & help us feel connected 🌈⁣
⁣
