A Little Self-Love Goes a Long Way

The holidays can be beautiful… and overwhelming.
In these last few years—full of change, pressure, and nonstop noise—our nervous systems have been working overtime. Many of us show up for everyone else but forget to offer even a moment of care to ourselves.

That’s where tiny acts of self-love matter.
They regulate. They soften. They remind your body that you are safe and held.

One of my favorite simple tools is a gentle self-hug that stimulates the acupuncture point SP-21 (Great Embrace) — a point often used to soothe the chest, calm the spirit, and create a feeling of containment when emotions feel big.

How to do it:
Wrap your arms around yourself like you’re giving a hug. Your hands naturally land near SP-21, on the sides of the ribcage. Hold there with light pressure and slow breaths.
Stay for 30–60 seconds and notice the shift.

It seems small, but these micro-moments of care accumulate. In a season where many people feel stretched thin, this is your reminder: you deserve gentleness, grounding, and your own embrace.

Take a breath.
Take a moment.
Take care of you.

Let's Unite as a Community!
Join Us in Supporting Each Other!
We believe that good health begins with nourishment.

We care for our community inside and out. Food insecurity affects many families in our community. We’ve created a simple food shelf in our waiting area to help our patients and neighbors. All contributions for directly to our community. Anyone can take what they need — no questions asked.

Everyone deserves nourishment.
If you’re able, please bring a healthy, shelf-stable food item to contribute at your next visit. Together we can keep our neighbors nourished and supported, as it takes a village!

If you’re in need of food items, please take what you need. If you want more discretion, you can ask your provider to gather you some items while you are in the room with your treatment. If you feel there is a greater need for something we have not thought of, please reach out. We are open to ideas and want to support our community where we can.

“All items donated by the community; please check labels for allergens.”
________________________________________

How to Help:
• Bring a healthy shelf-stable item to your next visit — even one item helps
• Spread the word — the more patients know, the more we build community support
• Let clinic staff know if you or someone you know needs a bag quietly — we’re here for you

Best practices:
• Focus on healthy shelf-stable foods
• Keep items simple and sealed (no perishables)
• No expired foods
• Avoid home-cooked food

What is needed:
(organic, low-sugar/sodium preferred but not necessary)
• Shelf-stable proteins (peanut butter, beans, canned salmon/tuna, lentils)
• Whole-grain pasta or rice
• Canned fruits/veggies (low-sugar/sodium)
• Granola bars, oatmeal packets, shelf milk
• Soups, Sauces
• Grocery Gift Cards

*if you want to provide fresh fruit and veg, we would be happy to except Mon-Wed and would distribute to a local free fridge in the neighborhoods that people who maybe do not have access to care can more easily access.

No one should go hungry. This is our way of caring for our community beyond appointments. Thank you for helping build a healthier, stronger community together.
