Reflect and Recharge for the New Year!

Winter is the season for introspection in Chinese Medicine. It’s the perfect time to reflect on the year behind you and set gentle intentions for the year ahead—not the “do everything perfectly” kind of resolutions, but the “what would nourish me?” kind. For me, this means taking an inventory and listening to my body. Sometimes what nourishes me is to rest. Sometimes what nourishes me is to move. My body tells me what KIND of movement. And sometimes, let’s be honest, I just get really cranky and that’s code for it’s time to move OR rest. It might be as simple as adding 15 minutes of sleep a night, making a point of staying connected with loved ones by sending them funny memes or texts, or dedicating more time to nourishing activities like cooking and reading.

Winter reminds me that growth happens even in stillness. What’s one intention you’re carrying into the new year? I’d love to hear how you’re nurturing yourself as we move through this season.

Hormone imbalances, particularly in perimenopause can affect every aspect of your life, from mood swings and fatigue to
irregular cycles. Acupuncture offers a natural way to restore balance, reduce symptoms, and
support your overall well-being without relying on medications. And if you do choose to use
HRT, we can help fill in the gaps where it isn’t quite getting the full job done.

Acupuncture helps regulate hormone levels, reduce stress, and enhance your body’s natural
rhythm. Our patients notice reduced PMS symptoms, feeling less bloated, less hot flashes, better sleep, better energy, and a more balanced mood.

In Chinese Medicine, winter is a time to slow down and nurture yourself. The season is all about conserving energy, just like nature does—trees stop growing, animals hibernate, and the world feels quieter. It’s the time of year when seeds gather their strength, before flourishing into their full expression in spring and summer.

I try to embrace this rhythm by allowing myself more rest, staying cozy, and saying no to things that drain my energy. It’s not laziness; it’s intentional renewal. Our bodies and minds need this pause to recharge. Yes, it’s safe–essential really–to take it easy this time of the year. The dividends will pay off for the entire year!!

What’s one way you can embrace rest this winter? Maybe it’s an early bedtime, a warm cup of chamomile and goji berry tea, or simply giving yourself permission to pause. What do you want to say no to this week?

● Cervical pain related to poor posture
● Stiff neck or reduced mobility
● Whiplash from past injuries
● Headaches or migraines triggered by neck tension

Our story

Hi!

My name is Melissa Peters and I began my studies in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine in 2005. It has been such an incredible and life-changing journey. In 2010, I graduated from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in NYC and started my own practice. In 2011, I opened Wellspring of Life Acupuncture to service my local community in Commack and the surrounding area.

I fell in love with Chinese medicine for many reasons, but number one is how the entire person is always taken into account: body, mind, & spirit. My background is in Psychology and I still find it fascinating how the issues of the mind affect the body and vice versa. Acupuncture and herbal medicine have been treating and helping people for literally thousands of years. My focus has become women’s health as well as emotional health. We do commonly treat back pain, headaches, digestive issues, and other symptoms as well.

If you would like to know more information or if you are wondering if acupuncture can help you, please feel free to contact me at 631-896-0403 or melissa@wolacupuncture.com.
