When results go deeper than skin. 💆‍♀️✨
Every cosmetic acupuncture session is designed to support your natural radiance — inside and out. 🌸

I love when patients notice not only visible results, but also the deeper sense of whole-body wellness that acupuncture brings. Your skin tells a story your whole body helps write. 🪷

Thank you for trusting me with your care and sharing your experience — it truly means the world. 💖. I love what I do and enjoy explaining which points I am using and why— because understanding the process helps deepen the shift your body can make towards optimal wellness. 🌸

On my morning walk I discovered some schisandra berries known as Wu wei zi in Traditional Chinese Medicine which are so common in many formulas because they enter the heart, lung and kidney channels. Dried schisandra is good for helping the lung qi to stop coughs and asthma, inhibits excessive sweating and generates fluids, and quiets the spirit while calming and containing the heart qi, which is good for irritability, palpitations, dream disturbed sleep, and insomnia from deficiency of blood and yin of heart and kidneys. This is not medical advice but for educational purposes only. See your local Acupuncture Physician for the right herbal formula for your needs.

This is true of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine calming your nervous system. It’s a beautiful thing to feel, to observe and to witness happening in others.

I love the nuances of better health my patients feel immediately after their session and then the bigger shifts a couple days later.

The same happens with acupuncture, we unblock the blocked qi so it may flow freely and you feel your best. Unblock your qi. Let your qi flow. See less

Throwback Thursday to a couple years ago in Grand Marais, Mi seeing the sunrise over Lake Superior on an early morning walk. A walk with a change of scenery does the body, mind and spirit good! 👍 Highly recommend going for a long walk somewhere new. Even if you jump in your car and drive to a nearby neighborhood.

The body knows what to do; the acupuncture needles just guide the way.

If you need help balancing emotions, seek a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and also Acupuncture Physicians can help balance your emotions with your body too.

✨ When stress, trauma, or emotions get “stuck” in the body, your nervous system can stay stuck in fight-or-flight mode — leading to fatigue, anxiety, chronic pain, and even immune challenges.

💆‍♀️ Acupuncture helps calm the overactive stress response, balance the HPA (hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal) axis, and restore regulation to the nervous system. By releasing what’s held inside, your body can shift back into rest, repair, and healing.

Your body remembers. Acupuncture helps it let go. 🌿

What are you craving today? Are you listening to your body and what it wants? One of the many things I love about Traditional Chinese Medicine is the foods that you eat matter! Food is medicine!
