Loving these two books... After years (decades?) without an updated book on trying to conceive for q***r and trans folks, both and came out with thorough, inclusive guides in the past couple of years. I'm excited to learn relevant updates to inform my practice, and will enthusiastically recommend these to my clients. Q***r folks have always had families and found their way to the constellation that's right for them. Now we have some great new resources to support us on this journey.

Most people come to me for hormonal support, pain relief, and to address chronic illness, and they may not realize that I can help address colds and flus.

If you’ve gotten sick more frequently than usual this year, you’re not alone. With Covid, RSV, and other viruses going around, many people have gotten sick multiple times, and some are experiencing lingering symptoms after progressing out of the acute stage of sickness.

If you feel yourself coming down with something or you can’t kick lingering symptoms, I've put together a list of 6 tips to support you, find it on my blog. https://www.sagestaggs.com/blog/2023/3/21/6-tips-from-your-acupuncturist-for-cold-and-flu-season

I am excited to be carrying elixirs by local herbalist . It can be challenging to create herbal formulas that are not only effective but also look beautiful and taste delicious. Well, look no further because Levi of Ms Tea has mastered all three! I've brought in a small selection of elixirs to support mood, sleep, and the immune system, as well as Dream Keeper Salve and Spirit Dreamer Elixir to "enhance your dreams and traverse the threshold between worlds." If you're local, stop in to peruse my selection, and if not, I highly recommend purchasing directly from Ms Tea. 🌿✨ https://msteabotanica.com/

Hey there! It's been a while and I have an exciting announcement.

I will be moving to a new office on October 17th, located at 450 Pitt St.

I have been at True Nature Wellness for 2.5 years, and it has been a lovely home for my acupuncture practice. Over that time my practice has grown, and it’s time for me to branch out into a bigger space.

The new location is shared with a lawyer and a massage therapist, and I think it’s going to be a really cozy space🕯. I will be furnishing and decorating the waiting room and 3 treatment rooms myself, so things may still be in process during the first few weeks. My first priority is to create quiet and comfortable treatment rooms for you to relax in💆🏽.
What does this mean for my patients?

Increased availability on my schedule
Quieter treatment rooms for you to to rest in.
Increased herbal and self care items for sale.
Come visit me in the new space if you haven’t been in for a while!

One of the most frequent recommendations I make to help folks improve their well being through food is to consume bone broth. It's a traditional food in most cultures and can be easy to make and integrate into your diet. I finally wrote up a recipe and posted it on my blog, in case you need some guidance on preparing this earthy elixir. My favorite way to prepare it is to add some mild-tasting food grade Chinese herbs to increase the nutrition even more. Do you have a favorite way to prepare bone broth, or special additions that you love? Find my recipe here: https://www.sagestaggs.com/blog/2021/11/22/easy-bone-broth-recipe 🍲

One of my favorite things is getting to support folks during pregnancy, which is even sweeter when I've been their practitioner during the conception process as well. I love it when folks come to me early in their pregnancy, or before they conceive, so we can work together preventatively to avoid some of the risks of pregnancy, such as morning sickness, recurrent miscarriage, pre-eclampsia, or post-dates labor. I've dedicated myself to deepening my herbal studies in Classical Chinese Obstetrics so that I am informed and well-versed in herbs that are safe during pregnancy and can support optimal wellness. I'm happy to report that many of my pregnant patients feel good during all the trimesters and go into their labors feeling energized and ready. The combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and great self care practices go a long way to support a well and happy pregnancy, leading up to a strong and healthy birth.

This is me studying on a mellow Sunday morning. I’m reviewing my notes about blood physiology and how to effectively treat menstrual clotting, cramps, and disorders such as endometriosis based on differential diagnosis. Many folks come to me after years of birth control masking menstrual symptoms, and we use Chinese herbs to get to the root of the imbalance so they can be pain free, with increased vitality and fertility (when desired)!

Today, a woman I've been supporting while she goes through cancer treatments said, "All the people in my cancer support group are reporting all these side-effects from the chemo, but I'm barely having any. I think they need to try acupuncture." I realized that most of the folks I treat who are going through chemo report relatively few side-effects, or a better than average response to their chemo treatments.
I've been supporting folks living with cancer for 7 years now- first at in Oakland and now at in Sonoma. Folks come in complaining of fatigue, pain, nausea, constipation, hot flashes, and night sweats- all common side effects of chemo and hormonal treatments for cancer- and they always leave feeling better.
It's been painful for me to learn of people in my community being diagnosed with cancer over the years. Working to support people who are living with cancer feels like a meaningful way to use my skills in service to the community.

Lately I've gotten a few calls and emails from folks wondering if I can help them with x, y, z ailment. My honest answer in most cases is either Yes or Probably. Because Chinese medicine tailors each treatment to the presenting signs and symptoms, we treat the individual and not the disease. So, while it is helpful for me to keep up to date with the latest in western medicine standards of care and be aware of common pathologies, my skill set equips me to address illness based on how it is manifesting in a particular person, rather than have a predetermined protocol to treat all people with a particular illness. This is what distinguishes Chinese medicine from allopathic medicine and is the reason I can sometimes help people after they have exhausted all their other options- because I am seeing them for who they are, as they're presenting in the present, rather than a predetermined set of symptoms attached to a disease name. I am always excited and optimistic when someone contacts me with a rare or undiagnosed condition, because it's likely that they've struggled finding relief from western medicine, and I am confident that I may be able to change the course of things based on my training in observing and identifying patterns.
