A question I ask my patients at the end of every treatment: “Did you notice anything interesting?”

The answers run from the mundane (mostly) to sometimes profound:
- no, not really
- I fell asleep
- my body is releasing “something”
- I never knew how tight “x” part of my body was
- should I be feeling something?
- how relaxed I feel
- but then my mind was racing again

All valid observations! This is not a test 😂 there are no right or wrong answers.

It all begins with noticing.

Noticing where you hold or grip. Noticing what feels stuck or in flow. Noticing where your thoughts wander. Noticing what it feels like to … just receive treatment. Nothing to do but let your body figure it out (because it is intelligent).

The qi of the universe shifts tomorrow, with the first day of Spring, according to the Lunisolar calendar. Now is a great time to begin noticing and taking action towards better health and well-being.

Here for you.

Invitation to Radical Self-Care

One moment, you’re playing with your kids or enjoying a beautiful day with friends, the next moment, you’re hearing about ugly, ugly things happening in our world. It’s emotional whiplash. It’s disorienting. It’s been going on for too long.

Maybe you’ve felt this in your body, because the body is intelligent - it knows when it does not feel safe. The constant tension. The inability to rest. The feeling of being stuck on high alert. These feelings are normal - it’s your nervous system doing its job.
Radical self-care means setting boundaries with that stress response. It means telling your body: “You can rest now. You’re allowed to feel safe.”

Acupuncture helps you do this on a physiological level. It calms your fight-or-flight response, and helps restore that sense of safety and control you’ve been missing.

This is self-care that creates real change:
    •    Boundaries with anxiety that’s been running the show
    •    Permission for your body to finally release chronic tension
    •    Space for sleep that actually restores you
    •    Room to feel emotions instead of staying numb
    •    Capacity to be present instead of constantly bracing

When your body feels balanced and supported, you can hold boundaries that protect your energy. You can say no without guilt. You can choose rest without shame.

And here’s what else becomes possible: you can take meaningful action from a place of strength, not depletion. When your nervous system isn’t in constant survival mode, you have the capacity to show up for what matters - calling your local representatives, organizing in your community, showing up for your neighbors. Compassionate, grounded action requires a nervous system that feels safe enough to engage, not just react.

Radical self-care isn’t indulgent - it’s essential. It’s how you sustain yourself for the long haul, so you can keep showing up with your full humanity intact. Radical self-care is many things, not just acupuncture, and only you know what is truly caring for your own self. Go and do that tonight :)

You can’t change a pattern when you aren’t conscious of it.

This past weekend in the Santa Cruz mountains with my annual women’s group, I kept coming back to this word: witnessing.

3 years ago, these women witnessed alllll my feelings (😃🤪😩😱😍) about starting Haven Acu. This year, they witnessed my dreams for what’s next. There is power and medicine in that witnessing. I’m so ready for the year of the Fire Horse - let’s go!

This powerful witnessing is also in the treatment room. Around week 5 or 6 of consistent treatment, we realize we’re doing work that goes beyond acupuncture. We’re witnessing patterns you didn’t know existed. And when we witness, we create space for change.

Surrounding the Dragon 🐉

It’s my day off and I’m doing some self-care. This little patch of eczema started at the beginning of the new year, triggered by some new stressors. (Swipe to see the full photo if you don’t mind some skin condition visuals)

I actually did not follow my own advice 😅 (which is to get acupuncture at the first HINT of symptoms of a recurring condition). I was lazy and babied it with a TCM topical, but it’s only gotten progressively worse and itchier. Which means it’s time to put a pin in it 😀 (pun totally intended)

This “surround the dragon” needling technique brings fresh blood circulation and triggers the body’s natural healing response. It will likely clear up in the next week, and I’ll post an update here or to stories 😀

I’m grateful for the way my body tells me to pay attention. Whenever eczema shows up, it’s a reminder to take better care of myself, physically and emotionally.

What’s your body telling you lately? Need some support? I can help.

The best part of my work? Hands down, it’s hearing things like this from my patients:

“I didn’t realize how much energy and joy I was missing until I started feeling it again. I feel spacious and open - something I haven’t felt in a long time. I don’t know what you did, but keep doing it.”

When they said this, I actually paused for a moment because it reminded me why I got into acupuncture in the first place. Yes, it’s about relieving pain or stress, but it’s also about helping people feel alive again. Like, jump-out-of-bed excited-for-life kind of alive. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, let’s chat.

Is Cosmetic Acupuncture Right For You? 👉 Swipe through to see if you recognize yourself in any of these scenarios. (Spoiler: You probably will!)

If you’ve been curious about cosmetic acupuncture but wondering whether it’s actually for you, this one’s for you.

Cosmetic acupuncture isn’t just another beauty treatment - it’s a whole-body approach to looking and feeling your best. It’s for women who want real results without needles full of neurotoxins, without going under the knife, and without compromising their overall health in the process.

Cosmetic acupuncture might be your perfect fit if:
✨ You’re seeking alternatives to Botox, fillers, and invasive procedures
🌿 You want to address facial aging while improving your overall health and vitality
✨ You’re tired of treatments that only mask symptoms instead of addressing root causes
🌿 You value natural, holistic approaches that work with your body
✨ You want to feel as good as you look - because beauty and wellness aren’t separate

The women who love cosmetic acupuncture most? They’re the ones who understand that true beauty radiates from the inside out. They want their outer appearance to reflect the vibrant, healthy, alive feeling they’re cultivating within.

That’s the magic of cosmetic acupuncture - it doesn’t just smooth fine lines. It restores balance, boosts energy, improves sleep, balances hormones, and helps you glow from a place of genuine vitality.

Frustrated with your undereye bags and dark circles? Here’s what cosmetic acupuncture can do ✨

Those dark circles and puffiness aren’t just about sleepless nights (though yes, that doesn’t help!). In Chinese Medicine, the undereye area reflects the health of your Kidney system - your body’s deep energy reserves that naturally decline as we age.

How cosmetic acupuncture addresses undereye concerns:
🌿 Increases circulation of qi (energy), blood, and oxygen directly to the face, reducing puffiness and darkness
🌿 Stimulates collagen production in the delicate undereye area
🌿 Works systemically to strengthen your Kidney energy - the root cause of many age-related facial changes
🌿 Improves lymphatic drainage to reduce fluid retention under the eyes
🌿 Addresses the whole pattern, not just the symptom
For many women, especially as we navigate perimenopause and beyond, undereye bags are a sign that our Kidney system needs support. That’s why cosmetic acupuncture isn’t just about “fixing” your face - it’s about restoring balance to your entire body so those changes show up where you can see them: in the mirror.

The result? Brighter, more refreshed eyes that reflect how vibrant you actually feel (or want to feel).

Visible results typically show after 4-6 treatments, with most patients completing a full course of 12 treatments for lasting change.

We’re in the precious weeks before the Lunar New Year (February 17), and I need to say something that goes against our culture:

Now is NOT the time for “New Year, New You.”

While the broader culture pushed us toward resolutions in January, Chinese Medicine offers different wisdom: these weeks are for deep rest, not reinvention.

We’re still deep in winter - the season of water, introspection. We’re still in the Lunar Year of the Snake (all about shedding, contemplation, strategy). Your body knows this rhythm, because it’s nature’s rhythm. Seeds rest underground gathering strength for spring and animals are still in hibernation.

These weeks are winter’s final gift: permission to go inward, to rest deeply, to simply BE rather than become.

*WHAT DEEP REST LOOKS LIKE:*

• Saying no to things that drain you
• Slowing your pace - walking slower, eating slower, thinking slower
• Quiet reflection - journaling, meditation, or tea in silence
• Warm, nourishing foods
• Protecting your energy like the precious resource it is

Next up, I’ll talk about what the new lunar new year will bring, and how this deep rest will prepare you for the year of the Fire Horse.

In the meantime, acupuncture helps you sink into the deep rest that your body needs right now. Book a free consult at the link in bio.

I’m here for you.

1.🩷First of all, it comes from within! Our “shen” or “spirit” is expressed through our eyes and on our face. How we feel internally will manifest on the exterior. Do what you can to be happy😍 and minimize stress in your life. This week try to eliminate one stressor in your life.

2..😴Prioritize Sleep! It’s during the REM cycle when our body does most of the cellular rejuvenation including collagen production. Aim for 7-9 hours. Also the time that we are asleep is important. If possible go to sleep before 11 pm. Night time is Yin time! 🌕

3..🌶️Limit spicy foods if you are prone to acne and redness

4.💦Hydrate, you all already know why!

5..💄Switch to non-toxic skincare and makeup. Everything we put on our body gets absorbed into our body. There are so many great non-toxic companies out there, let me know if you need suggestions.

6. ☯️Get your hormones balanced. Symptom-free periods that come at consistent intervals is the goal. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are excellent at regulating your cycle. Yes, even if you’re in perimenopause (though our treatment goals may look different).

7. 🚽Make sure you are having daily bowel movements. If not, come see me - yes, I’ll ask all the details. Nothing is TMI!🤣

8. 🥰Last but not least is Facial/Cosmetic Acupuncture and Microneedling ✨! Amazing for building collagen and overall skin health.(Book your session this week!)

Hi 👋🏻 Your neighborhood acupuncturist here, popping by to remind you to reschedule your REST. Just like you schedule meetings or events, have you remembered to schedule yourself some down-time?

Some ideas that may or may not have been inspired by own life lately. Because this holiday crunch is starting to get to me.
- Eating a warm breakfast in silence - noticing the textures and flavors.
- Evening walks to see how the neighbors have decorated
- Playing non-holiday music a little too loudly, because it’s fun.
- Several sauna blanket sessions - the best Christmas gift to myself last year. Need to hit reset on your life? This thing does it.

Ok that’s all. Bye - going on a walk before heading into the clinic. Because a rested me, is a much better human being for everyone around me. Trust me!! It’s probably the same for you.

PS. Haven Acu will be closed through January 6 - wishing you all a RESTful holidays. January scheduling is available now - see you then!
