Over the weekend, the Constellation gathered for a team event at our Classroom. With a team of 13 people working different shifts every day of the week, it's a challenge to get us all in the same place at the same time! Miraculously, it happened on Saturday. We are thrilled everyone was able to come together for a food, fun, and a little business.

Our team devoured food from Amazing Thailand, checked in, and talked over highlights of our 2025 end of year report. We then got cozy and shared a moment of collective rest with a soothing sound bath from sound healing facilitator Carrie Nelson. Carrie's gong was AWESOME and we all traveled to another plane. ☁️ It was special to receive sound healing together, and sink into a relaxed and easeful space as a group.

(Teaser side note: We loved Carrie's gong so much that starting in May, she will be offering gong baths at the Classroom! You want to come, trust us.)

Clinic co-owners Dr. Kim and Amy are so proud of our team and all the ways they show up in the clinic and in their communities. Not only are they each skilled in their work as providers and front desk assistants, offering our patients individualized solutions with warmth and compassion, they are all also wonderfully kind-hearted, creative, intelligent, and generous in spirit.

Holding space for others through one collective polycrisis after another is a privilege - and is also demanding. No matter how many years of experience someone has under their belt, supporting patients through times like these can be heavy. And yet, our team continues to show up with open hearts and curious minds, caring for themselves, each other, and our patients. It's beautiful to witness.

If you are a patient at our clinic, or have attended one of our events, thank you for trusting us. Thank you for referring your partners, your friends, your coworkers, your family, the person in line next to you at the grocery store. You make it possible for our women- and q***r-owned business to employ such awesome folks, to do what we love, and to make a positive impact in our Twin Cities community! Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude.

Having crossed the spring equinox threshold recently, we are in the height of the Wood phase.

The Wood element is the fuel that feeds our creative fire and allows for creation and action to SPRING forth. It relates to the Liver and Gallbladder and during this season we can be more vulnerable to feeling stuck or stressed.

When the Wood element is balanced, we are flexible, can adapt well to change, and feel inspired. It’s all about supporting change, movement, and growth, and encouraging our bodies, minds, and spirits to go with the flow.

When the Wood element is out of balance - either deficient or in excess - we can see more of these health related concerns physically and emotionally:

✔️blurred or weak vision
✔️red itchy eyes
✔️dry skin or hair
✔️frequent colds or flus
✔️irregular or light menstruation
✔️premenstrual symptoms or menstrual cramping
✔️cold hands and feet
✔️tremors or numbness
✔️muscle weakness
✔️muscle tension
✔️fatigue
✔️digestive upset like nausea, heartburn, or irregular bowel movements
✔️headaches
✔️chest tension
✔️a hard time asserting our point of view and behaving passively
✔️feeling uninspired or inflexible
✔️struggle to start new things or bring ideas into fruition
✔️moodiness or irritability
✔️experiencing emotional extremes or “stuffing” emotions

Here are some things we can do to support ourselves and benefit our health:

🍐FOOD THERAPY: eat foods that are fresh, light, and pungent
🫖HYDRATE: Drink warm or room temperature beverages. Some great spring teas would be Rose Petal Tea and Peppermint & Nettle Tea.
🧣AVOID WIND: Because wind is associated with the season of Spring and the element of Wood, our bodies are particularly sensitive to wind and drafts this time of year. Stay bundled!
🙆MOVE: Physical movement is one of the most important ways to keep the Wood Element in balance.
🌬️BREATHE: you can choose between quick and sharp or more controlled and slower breaths, depending on what you need.
😴SLEEP: To help balance the Wood element, having a regular sleep cycle is key, especially from 11pm-3am for your spring organs.

Share in the comments your favorite ways to nourish yourself during the spring season!

Join us next week in welcoming in the spring season with an intimate community acupuncture gathering rooted in the wisdom of Chinese Medicine with Dr. Virginia Ma, LAc.

☀️Spring is a time of renewal and change as we emerge from the depths of winter into warmer weather.

🌱During this season, the energy that lays deep in the earth through the winter season rises up to the surface. Seeds sprout and emerge through the soil, trees bud new leaves, and animals emerge from hibernation. This mobilizing energy builds in our bodies as well - which is why many of us feel an internal restlessness or activation this time of year!

🪵Spring corresponds to the Wood element, which governs growth, creativity, individuation, fresh starts, and our ability to adapt and “pivot” in life. Wood helps us initiate, move with ease, and find and maintain our flow. A perfect time to pause and ground into what wants to grow with and through you.

✨🏳️‍⚧️Centering trans life and joy today and beyond! 🏳️‍⚧️✨

Hi, Dr. Kim here! It’s International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV) today, and I’ve been thinking a lot about the complexity of visibility, especially during this wild political moment.

Visibility is multifaceted, wrapped up with identity, safety, and place. There is joy and celebration—but also vulnerability and risk.

I'm reflecting on the sacredness and necessity of spaces by and for q***r and trans folks. This includes healthcare spaces, and we are proud to count our clinic among those in the Twin Cities who purposefully serve and celebrate q***r and trans people.

Affirming, inclusive healthcare isn’t political—it’s a human right. Q***r and trans folks have always cared for each other because systems haven’t prioritized us. The present moment is no different.

Chinese medicine is q***r AF, y’all. It embraces fluidity, transformation, and the understanding that nothing is fixed—yin and yang are not opposites, but in a constantly shifting relationship.

To me, practicing this medicine means honoring those possibilities. It means holding space for people to exist fully as themselves. And it means taking a stand against harm, erasure, and injustice.

At our clinic, we strive to cultivate a space that celebrates our patients for all they are and all they have yet to become.

We want to see you the way you wish to be seen.
We hold space for your joy, grief, anger, and tenderness.
Through trust and care, we create a space where healing, embodiment, and joy are possible.

May we pursue liberation from oppressive structures and build a future where all may thrive. ✨🏳️‍⚧️

FINANCIALLY ACCESSIBLE CARE AT THE CLASSROOM
When attacks on trans and nonbinary folks by our current administration are rapidly increasing, it's important to us to let our trans and nonbinary community members know we've got their backs.

One way we'd like to extend support is by making all of April's classroom events more financially accessible to trans and nonbinary folks, in recognition of TDOV.

🏳️‍⚧️Trans and gender non-conforming folks are encouraged to use the code TDOV for 50% off registration for any class the whole month of April. 🏳️‍⚧️

Need a release? If you’re feeling kind of stuck and stagnant, like the weight of the world is on your back (and totally understandable if it feels that way), and have tension that you just can’t shake, cupping is where it’s at.

Cupping utilizes suction to release tension and create space in the body’s tissues. More space means more flow.

As the circulation of blood and qi increases, the intensity of stagnation, congestion, and pain decreases. This movement supports the spirit, too, inviting release, ease, and calm.

It’s super common for patients to say they feel “lighter” after a cupping session (we agree). There’s nothing quite like that big sigh and feeling of relief after the cups are removed! IYKYK.

Cupping therapy is a great technique in spring to clear the stagnant energy that may have built up through the winter months, and support a healthy flow of qi to meet the spring.

Our practitioners include cupping therapy in acupuncture, massage, and craniosacral therapy sessions when appropriate, and we also have quick cupping-only “tune up” appointments for established patients.

Because spring is our windy season, you’ll want to make sure you keep your back and neck properly covered after getting cupping, so here’s your friendly reminder to bring layers and/or a scarf to your appointment.
