Dear friends & healing community,

As we are fully immersed into the spring season, seeds are sprouting, flowers are blooming and the sun warms the earth. There is a sense of renewal and new life around. While winter was a time to conserve energy and reduce activity, spring is a time of regeneration, new beginnings, and a renewal of spirit. It is the ideal time for cleansing and rejuvenation for overall health and well-being.

As spring is represented by the wood element and includes the liver and its complementary organ, the gallbladder, these two organs are usually the primary targets for springtime cleansing and health regimens.

Keep reading and you will find below our favorite morning cleanse.

|Happy Healthy 2020|
Dear Friends & Healing Community,

I am back!

It is my tremendous pleasure to let you know that I am back to practicing acupuncture with enthusiasm, eagerness, and additional knowledge.

The truth is that I never truly left my practice as I was and still am taking care of clients here & there but the Universe humbled me and helped me learn about self compassion and compassion for others while going through a healing crisis due to chronic illnesses.

As a health care practitioner in Oriental Medicine, I thought I would have learned everything I needed to know in order to heal chronic illnesses.

Oriental Medicine is a beautiful medicine that integrates body, mind, and spirit. And it turns out I needed to learn more truths behind my myriad of chronic symptoms and how to heal. This is, most likely, why not long after opening my new acupuncture practice back in 2017, I entered my healing crisis.

I finally got answers for some of my “autoimmune” disorders such as asthma, allergies, and severe eczema, as well as other chronic symptoms.

And because of my background and how I have chosen to heal, I now understand more than ever that our bodies are always working for us. To find out more about my healing story and photos, check out my new website.

Let's talk about what my healing journey means for you. I am truly excited to team up so you can take back ownership of your wellness and get back to vitality.

If you have never tried acupuncture, it’s time! And if you have tried acupuncture and would like to integrate additional healing steps into your life, my energy is back and dedicated to being in service to help all of you with my additional knowledge.

Come and get some treatments even if it’s just to help ease your stress, pain, or shift chronic symptoms. I offer 55 or 85 minutes session and/or simply just choose to come for a cupping session or nutritional & herbal consultation.

My website has details about my new services, which can all be offered in English or French. Be sure to check-out my new online consulting service. It is great for tight schedules.

You can book a session using my online scheduler, and as always you can also reach out directly to me via text/phone or email. Stay tuned for more services along the way.

Be well,

Catherine Provencal, L.Ac.

PS. Your referral is my best compliment!

|Welcome Summer 2018|
The weather is hot and the sun is out!
Summer is the most yang of the seasons and is associated with the heart fire ❤️🔥
The color is red, the emotion joy, and its a time for growth, expansion, light, abundance and is the manifestation of all we have been cultivating throughout the spring.
Did you know that in TCM, the heart houses the mind, our spirit?
Therefore summer is a great time to nourish our spirits, realize our life’s potential, finding joy in hot summer days and warm summer nights.
It is a great time to cultivate the yang energy but not in excess because heat injures the heart blood (spirit)
Some indications of heart imbalance are palpitations, insomnia, mania, mouth ulcers, speech problems, red complexion and more.
Here are some tips to help you with summer:
💧Drink plenty of fluids
☀️Wake up earlier
🌙Go to bed later
😄Smile from your heart
🧘‍♀️Meditate and Qigong
😴Rest at midday
Summer is about abundance, and this is definitely the case with foods.
The best time to have raw foods to cool you down 💦
Try these foods (fyi red fruits and vegetables are usually good for the heart)
🍉Watermelon
🥒Cucumbers
🍅Tomatoes
🍇Grapes
🍓Strawberries
🍒Cherries
🍎Apples
🍋Lemons
🥗Salads
🥒Summer squash
🌱Sprouts
Etc...
A great time to get acupuncture if you get overheated or feel imbalanced 🙌🏼
☀️
