🌿 Healing the Unseen
At Free Spirit Acupuncture, we believe trauma isn’t just a story in the mind, it lives in the body, the nervous system, and the flow of qi. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) offers profound tools to help restore balance after trauma: the precision of acupuncture and the deep, gentle power of herbal medicine.
✨ When trauma strikes, whether an acute event or long-standing emotional pattern, the body’s natural rhythm of activation and rest becomes disrupted. The sympathetic nervous system is trapped in “fight/flight,” or the parasympathetic gets locked in “freeze.” According to TCM, this shows up as stagnation of qi, disruption in the organs of feeling (Heart/Shen, Liver/Wood, Kidney/Water) and a fragmentation of our vital energetic flow. 
📍 Acupuncture: Using specific points, acupuncture helps re-connect disrupted pathways, calm hyper-arousal, ease physical manifestations (like tension in the neck, chronic gut issues, insomnia) and create a neuro-physiological shift from constant survival mode to restorative mode.

🌱 Herbal support: Classical herbal formulas (for example blends used in post-trauma care) have shown positive effects in research: improved sleep, emotional regulation, reduced hyper-vigilance. 
The combination of acupuncture + herbs creates a healing synergy: body, mind, and spirit all supported. At Free Spirit, we tailor each session and herbal protocol to your unique history and energetic presentation—so that trauma can finally move through you rather than remain stuck.
👉 If you’ve been carrying invisible burdens—traumatic memories, chronic anxiety, sleepless nights, auto-immune flare ups after emotional shock, consider booking a session. Let’s help your body remember how to flow again.
