As we move into the colder months here in Scarborough, Maine, many of us start to feel the seasonal shift. Things like tight muscles, increased stress, disrupted sleep, and digestive changes that show up during the holiday rush. ❄️✨

This is when acupuncture becomes one of the most supportive tools for winter wellness.

At Root To Rise, we use acupuncture to help our patients:

✔️ Improve circulation + decrease stiffness
✔️ Strengthen immunity during cold + flu season
✔️ Reduce holiday stress + overwhelm
✔️ Support digestion during heavier winter meals
✔️ Calm the nervous system + improve sleep

If you’re looking for a more grounded, warm, and balanced way to move through winter, this new blog breaks it all down and offers simple tips you can try at home too.

Take a gentle pause before the holiday season begins. ✨

Join Dr. Jenn Gelfand and Acupuncturist Carole Wyche for Restore & Renew- a deeply grounding 90-minute experience on November 23 from 5–6:30pm at our Scarborough studio.

We’ll begin with a mindful yoga flow to gently build some heat, soften the body and clear the mind, then ease into savasana for ~20 minutes of cozy acupuncture designed to support whole-body balance and rejuvenation.

This intimate class weaves together shared intention, movement, and healing.

We’re celebrating a beautiful patient success today. ✨

Our patient's mom shared that after her daughter's first acupuncture appointment with Kristen, she can take a deep, full breath with ease, which is something that feels small, but means SO much.

These are the moments we’re grateful for… the shifts that bring comfort, ease, and a sense of coming home to your body.

Thank you always for trusting us. And thank you, Kristen, for your incredible care. 💛

Do you ever feel like you’re planning your day around bathroom trips? Or waking several times a night because of that urgent need to go?

You’re not alone and you’re not imagining it. Overactive bladder (OAB) is common, and it can be deeply frustrating. But there’s good news: gentle, effective support is available. 🌿

At Root to Rise, we use pelvic floor therapy to help calm urgency, reduce frequency, and restore your body’s natural balance. Through hands-on care, breathing, and body awareness, we guide you toward feeling more comfortable and confident again.

💫 Read our latest blog to learn how pelvic floor therapy can help with OAB symptoms:

If you’ve ever leaked a little when you laugh, sneeze, or exercise - you’re far from alone. But here’s something most people don’t realize: just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal.

Leaking isn’t always caused by weakness. It can stem from pelvic floor overactivity, breath mechanics, how your body manages pressure through your core, or even a nervous system that’s stuck in “go mode.”

At Root To Rise, we take a whole-body approach, helping you understand what your body is telling you and guiding you back to strength, confidence, and ease.

💧 Read our latest blog to learn why leaking happens, what you can do about it, and how pelvic floor therapy can help you live your life leak free again. 💪

I need this reminder allll the time so I thought you might as well 😉

It’s easy to get caught up taking care of everyone else and forget that our own energy and well-being need tending too. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

When you take the time to care for your body and reconnect with your core, your breath, and your nervous system, you create the space to show up more fully for the people and things that matter most.

At Root To Rise, we help you find that balance. Whether it’s taking steps to eliminate pain, leaking, or weakness so you can move freely again, or finding calm and refueling your energy through acupuncture and mindful movement, caring for yourself is never selfish. It’s where true strength begins. 💗

When life feels rushed or off-balance, the most powerful thing you can do is pause and tune into your breath. ✨

Grounding begins there - in that quiet moment of awareness. It’s the practice of coming back to yourself, to the support beneath you, and to the steadiness that already exists within.

We talk about this often in pelvic floor therapy sessions and on the yoga mat because your breath is your anchor. It connects you to your nervous system and your sense of calm, to your physical and emotional center, and to the present moment.

Grounding isn’t about standing still; it’s about finding your center so that every step forward feels intentional, aligned, and supported.

At Root To Rise, we help you reconnect to that foundation through pelvic floor therapy, acupuncture, and mindful movement, guiding your body and mind back to steadiness, strength, and ease. 🌸

Endometriosis is more than just “bad period pain.” 💛
It’s a complex condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus leading to inflammation, tension, and deep, chronic pain that can affect every part of life.

When your body is in pain, your pelvic floor muscles often respond by tightening and guarding- sometimes making symptoms worse.

That’s where pelvic floor therapy can help. 🌸

Through gentle, personalized care, we work to:
✨ Release muscle tension and restriction
✨ Improve pelvic mobility and circulation
✨ Calm the nervous system
✨ Support deeper connection to your body

You deserve to feel safe, supported, and free from chronic pain. Healing is possible and we’re here to help you feel like yourself again. 🌿
