Breathing may be automatic, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy to do it “right” — especially when you’re learning to breathe for your pelvic health. If you’re thinking: I’m still not sure l’ve got this or I can’t tell what my pelvic floor is doing when I breathe in and out or Why does breathing have to be so complicated? — well, I get it. In my prenatal yoga teacher training this of all things was probably one of the most difficult things for me. I realized the importance but was frustrated I couldn’t do it. Revisiting this now after more yoga and in conjunction with pelvic acupuncture classes I’m approaching my pelvic breathe with a little more grace. Yes it’s difficult at first.
Learning to breathe for your pelvic floor is a process. It’s something we need to practice and revisit regularly. Inhale to relax exhale to contract is my little mantra. Take gentle steps and set a time and space, start with 3 min once a day. Work up to 5 min twice a day increasing as you can to reach a goal that’s right for you. Somewhere between 5-10 min 1-3 times daily. That’s it. Small steps can lead to improved pelvic and over all health. I especially like to focus on the second image showing the belly out with an inhale and belly in with the exhale. Video available if you’d like that tool just dm your email.

As an acupuncturist, I’m deeply grateful for the work and the community I serve. From supporting moms and families, to caring for veterans, supporting fertility, to holding space through beginnings, endings, and everything in between—this year has been a reminder of the power of presence and connection. I also attended my last birth as a doula, a full-circle moment and a true blessing. Thank you to everyone who trusted me with their care. Thank you, 2025.

My go to in clinic for supporting balanced blood sugar, promoting healthy digestion, and providing antioxidants. The combination of mulberry leaves and matcha can help slow glucose absorption and the mulberry leaf components can inhibit sugar-digesting enzymes, while matcha provides a natural source of antioxidants like EGCG. The mix also offers added nutrients from the mulberry leaf, such as high levels of calcium, iron, and potassium.
