🍂 One Year of Peaceful Owl Acupuncture

It is not lost on me what a privilege it is to do this work, to be invited into people’s lives in moments of vulnerability, to hold space for healing, and to see the ripple of one person’s care extend outward into their community. That is the greatest gift.

Over the past few weeks, I have taken some time to step back, to rest, to be outside, to float quietly on the water, and to let my body and mind catch up with everything this past year has held.

Fall has always been my favorite season. There is something about the way the trees let go, slowly and beautifully, without resistance, that reminds me how necessary it is to release what no longer needs to be carried.

As Peaceful Owl Acupuncture turns one, I have been reflecting on all I have shed this year: old stories about what I was capable of, doubts about whether I could build something like this, and fears that once kept me small. But I do not feel small anymore. This year has stretched and grounded me, showing me, just how expansive life can become when you trust yourself enough to keep moving forward.

In place of those fears, what remains is gratitude, the kind that settles deep in the bones. Gratitude for everyone who has trusted me with their care, shared their story, and spoken my name to someone they love. You are the reason this little dream has grown roots.

Thank you for letting me do what I love and for helping Peaceful Owl become what it is, not just my practice, but a shared space built on compassion, integrity, balance, and the quiet power of healing.

Here is to another season of growth, rest, and letting go. 🦉

✨ Hello and welcome to all my new followers! ✨

I’m Shana, the acupuncturist behind Peaceful Owl Acupuncture 🦉. I started this practice with the intention of creating a space where people can feel supported, heard, and gently guided back into balance.

A little about me: I’m passionate about helping others find relief from stress, pain, and the everyday challenges that pull us out of alignment. I love combining the wisdom of acupuncture with simple, practical lifestyle tools so you can feel more grounded, energized, and at ease in your body.

Thank you for being here and joining this community! 💜I’ll be sharing tips for self-care, glimpses into the healing power of acupuncture, and a bit about my own journey along the way.

💜 6 Months of Peaceful Owl Acupuncture

I can hardly believe it’s already been six months since I opened the doors to Peaceful Owl Acupuncture. These past months have truly been some of the most meaningful and rewarding of my life.

Every treatment, every conversation, every healing moment shared in the clinic has filled me with so much purpose and gratitude. Watching my patients feel better, reclaim balance, and find peace in their bodies has been nothing short of incredible.

To every single one of you who has walked through my door: thank you. Your trust, your stories, your energy—it all means the world to me. This practice has become more than just a clinic—it’s a growing community, a sacred space for healing, and a dream come true.

The success Peaceful Owl has experienced in these first 6 months has exceeded my wildest hopes. I’m so proud of what’s been built—and beyond excited for what’s to come.

Here’s to the next 6 months (and many more), to continued healing, connection, and growth. 💜🦉

With a full heart,
Shana

Acupuncture isn’t just for back pain—though it’s excellent for that, too. It’s used to support a wide variety of issues, including:

✨Migraines & headaches
✨Anxiety, stress, & insomnia
✨Fertility & menstrual cycle support
✨ Digestive issues, IBS or bloating
✨Allergies
✨ Immune system regulation
✨ Sports injuries & recovery
✨ Fatigue
✨ Autoimmune conditions
✨ Perimenopause & menopause transitions
✨ Overall wellness + preventive care

So whether you’re feeling burned out, dealing with a stubborn pain, or just want to feel more balanced—acupuncture can help you get there.

💫 And remember: if you’re nervous about needles, you’re not alone—and you’re not out of options! Traditional Chinese Medicine has so much more to offer than just needles. I also use gentle, effective modalities like cupping, gua sha, moxibustion, ear seeds, acupressure, tuning forks and more.

💫 You don’t have to wait until things feel “bad enough” to get support. Sometimes just feeling off is reason enough to come in.

Curious if it could help you? Let’s chat. Your body is wise—and acupuncture helps you listen. 🦉💜

Jaw pain? TMJ issues? Let's talk about it. 💭💥

Whether it’s clenching, grinding, clicking, or chronic tension in your jaw—acupuncture can help. I frequently work with patients experiencing jaw pain, TMJ dysfunction, and related headaches. One of my favorite tools in these treatments is the tiger warmer with smokeless moxa. It delivers gentle warmth and soothing stimulation to the jaw muscles, helping them relax before I place a few local acupuncture needles. That extra step often makes a big difference in comfort and effectiveness. 🌿🔥

And here’s something not everyone talks about: the connection between jaw tension and pelvic pain. Both areas are governed by deep postural muscles and respond to stress in strikingly similar ways. When the jaw is tight, the pelvic floor often is too—and vice versa. That means addressing one can help the other. Wild, right? But clinically, I see it again and again.

If you’ve been dealing with stubborn TMJ issues, jaw clenching, or tension that seems to show up everywhere, let’s take a deeper look together.

📣 Testimonial Tuesday 💛

✨ "I can't say enough great things about Shana at Peaceful Owl Acupuncture! As someone who is absolutely terrified of needles, I was nervous to try acupuncture, but Shana has been nothing short of phenomenal in making the process comfortable. She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, which really helps ease any anxiety I have about the treatment.

Over the past several months, Shana has helped me with a variety of issues, including anxiety, endometriosis pain, and IBS, and I’ve seen incredible improvements. Not only have my symptoms significantly reduced, but I also haven’t been sick once since starting my treatments—something I can’t say has happened in a long time!

What really sets Shana apart, in addition to her expertise, is the welcoming, comfortable, and cozy space at Peaceful Owl Acupuncture. It feels like a true sanctuary where you can relax and unwind. Every session leaves me feeling better, both physically and mentally. Shana’s patience, care, and the calming environment that she provides have made such a positive impact on my well-being, and I’m so grateful.

If you're considering acupuncture, I highly recommend Shana!"

Reading words like these fills me with so much gratitude. I’m truly honored to support my patients on their healing journeys and to be trusted with their care. Thank you to everyone who shares their experience—your words mean the world. 💫🦉
