Let me be abundantly clear, and I've been saying this, ad nauseum, for the past decade: DRY NEEDLING IS A FORM OF ACUPUNCTURE THAT HAS BEEN CO-OPTED BY WESTERN MEDICINE AND CHIROPRACTORS TO PREVENT ACUPUNCTURISTS FROM CUTTING INTO THEIR BOTTOMLINE. THEY HAVE APPROXIMATELY 8 DAYS OF EDUCATION AND BEGIN STICKING NEEDLES INTO PEOPLE VS THE 4 YEARS WE DO!

Please find Licensed Acupuncturists, preferably with a solid reputation, before agreeing to receive care. I am so tired of seeing these law suits against PTs/Chiropractors with ONLY dry-needling training (yes, some of them have gone to school for Acupuncture, but the number is very small).

The only thing standing between you and the life you want is how you think, what you focus on, and how consistently you take action.

Big goals don’t need perfect plans, they need relentless follow-through.

Mindset is what keeps you grounded when progress is slow.

Focus is what blocks out the noise.

And consistency is what compounds into real results.

Too many people quit because they don’t see instant success.

But growth is invisible at first.

If you can stay committed through the silence, you’ll eventually see everything you worked for come to life.

It won’t happen all at once, but it will happen — if you keep showing up when most people don’t.💪🔥

And I'd like to help you on that journey.

I have an agreement with my daughter that if she cancels her Tik-Tok account, I cancel my Facebook account. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!

Our thought is being more productive, resetting our dopamine levels, having better focus, being more present and connected with people and not screens.

Here's hoping for "softer," more accepting, loving hearts. We need to come together and heal. One thing has become crystal clear to me: We do not function well when we're divided. We are one organism in many parts. This is a very difficult concept for many to get on board with, but all life is one. Break it down to it's base chemical components and we're just different arrangements of the same basic elements.

Our elementary understanding of things makes us choose to describe things like children...because in one respect, we still are children. We say: This is good, that is bad. True understanding comes from immersion and connection, not hearsay or viewing from afar.

This post is as much for me as it is for you. For me to heal others, I need to heal, too. I need help just like everyone else.

We are bathed in that which disgusts and angers us and/or generates fear in us. We want to know so we watch the News, but the News is not knowing, it is simply that which fuels drama and the above-mentioned emotions. So is social media.

Can you imagine a life without screens now? Have you tried it? What do you think it would be like if we didn't have the internet/social media, TV, and we just had land-lines. When we left the house, it was just us; no GPS, no phone, it's you and what you come into contact with out there. How big or how small would your World be? Would your fear GROW over time or SHRINK?

Your answers to the above will likely be different based on your age. If you grew up only knowing how things are now, you'd likely be terrified to have all of it be gone. To those of us old enough to know life without any of this, we understand that, on many levels, life was better. We were more connected to the outdoors and to being present with others. We had stronger communities because we had more touches and more discussion with the people around us. We knew the importance of nature.

It struck me the other day that our disconnect to the World around us also manifests in our bodies. So many people I see are disconnected to themselves or aspects of themselves and I think that part of this is seen in all the vagus nerve issues (10th cranial nerve that means "wandering" and looks like the tree of life upside down; affects cardiovascular, respiration, and digestive function) so many Clinicians are aware of and treating.

Sorry for the length of this post. I'll wrap it up by saying: I hope you find connection, presence, peace, and a centeredness. In doing so, you will know yourself and you will learn to listen to that which is greater than you. Some call this force "God," others "Mother Nature" ...it doesn't really matter. Just listen. We all have intuition, albeit many have a distorted lens or are listening to something they think is intuition but is really just manipulative influence from those things I want to see far less of.

I am not anti-anything...or anti-much, to be more accurate, but I am strongly in favor of statements like this. It amazes me how much people are "hypnotized" or controlled by societal pressures to drink alcohol. It saddens me when I meet people who "have to" drink to have fun. Many will tell you they don't have to, but if you observe them in social situations, evidence says otherwise.

Alcohol is a concentrated carbohydrate...or may accurately, it affects our body in an inflammatory way like sugar does. For some, drinking in moderation is just fine. For others, a small amount is like throwing gas on a fire. Know your body and do as it asks. Instead of drinking alcohol, drink mocktails; especially ones crafted to HELP with your health issues instead of inflaming them.

Do you have blood sugar issues, poor blood markers (cholesterol, triglycerides, etc), fatty liver, obesity, menopause or hormonal issues? All the more reason to be minimize, if not eliminate, the amount of alcohol you consume.

As I no longer have access to a large kitchen for classes, I won't be offering them any longer, but I'm still available to do custom classes for groups at YOUR location. If you're interested in this, please call me to discuss what you're looking for, the space/location you have, cost, and other details.

It also means getting the care you need.
