Last Sunday was Imbolc, the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox, and also St. Brigid's Day. I had the joy of celebrating with an amazing group of women through song and ritual. Honoring the shifts of the seasons is one of my most cherished practices.
I love how this day aligns with Chinese cosmology, signifying a qi shift—the very beginning of spring—and the qi shifting into the Year of the Horse. In Chinese medicine, we're always observing cosmology and how it affects our body, mind, and spirit. The natural transitions the earth makes can guide and support the shifts we are wanting to make in our own lives.

On the new moon of February 17th, we'll be celebrating the Year of the Fire Horse—a significant and powerful transition! I invite you to check out my newsletter to explore Imbolc through the lens of Chinese medicine and learn how to prepare for the Year of the Horse.

May nature continue to guide and nourish us all.

Finding Relief from Headaches with Acupuncture

One of the most rewarding aspects of being an acupuncturist is helping people find relief from chronic pain—especially headaches that impact daily life.

My sister came to me struggling with severe headaches. Through a combination of cupping, tuina (Chinese medical massage), and acupuncture, she's now headache-free and back to enjoying life pain-free! Being able to help my own family members experience the benefits of Chinese medicine makes me even more grateful for this work (and yes, that's us being our goofy selves at the beach!).

How Acupuncture Helps Headaches
Acupuncture has proven highly effective for various types of headaches, including:
• Migraines
• Tension headaches
• Hormonal headaches
• Chronic daily headaches
By addressing the root cause of pain—whether it's muscle tension, hormonal imbalances, stress, or other factors—acupuncture provides natural, lasting relief without the side effects of medication.
You Don't Have to Live with Headache Pain

If you or someone you know is struggling with recurring headaches, I'd love to help you find relief. Acupuncture offers a gentle, effective approach to managing and often eliminating headache pain.

I LOVE my treatment room!! This is where so much magic happens! I get to help so many people with the medicine I love and I know works! On the wall hangs a painting that I got in China almost 20 year ago while studying acupuncture and herbs in the hospitals and training internal martial arts with amazing masters. The painting is a constant reminder to me of the beauty and health that Chinese medicine and the healing arts can provide to all of us.

When you walk into this treatment room as a patient you can expect to be listened to and treated with deep care. Each session starts with a check-in about everything going on with all aspects of your health. We like to know all of the details. They are all pieces of the puzzle. Then you will get on the table. You will receive acupuncture and possibly tuina (Chinese manual therapy), guasha, or cupping depending on the symptoms. You will also receive lifestyle and nutrition recommendations and modifications and Chinese herbs if needed. We will COLLABORATE and figure out what will work best for YOU. You will go home with a strategy tools to start and continue your journey towards optimal health and longevity.

🌟 No more knee pain! 🌟
Here’s a fun memory of my crazy and wonderful husband at mile 12 running a half marathon in San Francisco! Leading up to the race, he was dealing with some pretty annoying knee pain, but after just one acupuncture treatment, he was good to go! It’s moments like these when I feel like a magician, but trust me, it’s all science! 🔬✨ Even if you’re not a fan of needles (like my husband), acupuncture can still help with thinner, Japanese style needles that you’ll barely feel!
Whether it’s knee pain or other aches, acupuncture has a way of making life a little easier—and a lot more fun!

"I cannot begin to express how grateful I am for Dr. Adrianna Gonzalez. Over the time I’ve seen her, she has worked wonders on my health. I started seeing her for help with uterine polyps and a chronic respiratory illness that I’ve suffered from for a year since getting Covid for the first time. In fact, my first visit with her was on day five of yet another cold that was clearly turning into a respiratory infection..." says Noelle on Google

"Adrianna first asked me specific questions about all my personal health concerns, and what few answers she didn’t immediately know off-hand, she promptly researched. She was then able to provide me with an amazing multi faceted approach treatment, which not only put me in a mixed conscious trance of comfort and relaxation, it left me feeling more energized, joyful, loose and healthful. She explains her processes.." says Morgan on Google
