As the weather turns colder, our bodies start to tighten up — muscles feel stiffer, joints move a little slower, and recovery takes a bit longer.

For active people, this is the season when old injuries start to speak up again — that familiar ache in the knee, the shoulder that twinges after a workout, or the back that flares after a long day on your feet.

In Chinese medicine, fall is a time of contraction and conservation — the body naturally turns inward. When we push through without rest, we deplete our system and lower our immunity.

That’s where acupuncture can help.
It improves circulation, keeps tissues warm and flexible, reduces inflammation, and supports your body’s natural defenses through the seasonal shift.

✨ Stay active — but give your body the care it needs to move with ease.
🩹 Prevent winter stiffness before it sets in.
🌿 Strengthen your foundation now so you can stay mobile all year long.

Hi, I’m Tameka Lim — a licensed acupuncturist with a doctorate in Chinese medicine practicing right here in Vancouver, WA, just off Mill Plain. 🗺️

I specialize in traditional, whole-body acupuncture — the kind that looks beyond the symptom to understand why it’s happening in the first place. My approach blends classical Chinese medicine with modern sports medicine acupuncture, so we can restore balance, improve movement, and help your body heal itself from the inside out.

I work best with people who are:
💪 Active but frustrated with recurring pain or old injuries
⚙️ Dealing with physical strain from work (chefs, firefighters, mechanics, healthcare workers, etc.)
⏳ Feeling their body slow down before their mind is ready
🩺 Looking to avoid or delay surgery and want a more natural path to healing

Through acupuncture, we can address:
✨ Chronic or repetitive-use injuries
✨ Joint and muscle pain
✨ Stress, sleep, and fatigue
✨ Circulation and recovery
✨ Whole-body resilience as you age

My goal is simple — to help you move, feel, and live better.
Because your body isn’t broken — it’s just asking to be heard. 🌿

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll probably find me riding my motorcycle, building or creating something with my hands, or soaking in some quiet time outdoors. 🏍️🔨🌲

If you’re ready to start feeling strong and aligned again, I’d love to work with you.

Bhai Tika (Brother–Sister Day, final day of Tihar)
Bhai Tika is the closing of the Tihar festival in Nepal and celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. Its origin comes from the legend of Yama, the god of death, and his sister Yamuna. When Yama visited his sister, she welcomed him with oil anointing, a special tika of five colors, garlands, and offerings of food. Deeply moved, Yama declared that any brother who receives tika and blessings from his sister on this day would be protected from untimely death for the coming year.

During the ceremony, sisters make piles (often of sacred substances such as curd, rice, flowers, mustard, and fruits) to symbolize the realms of creation and offer them to Yama and his sister before the tika ritual begins. Sisters then apply the multicolored tika on their brothers’ foreheads, exchange garlands, and offer trays of seasonal fruits, sweets, and dried nuts. Brothers, in turn, give gifts and blessings, affirming mutual love and protection.

May this Bhai Tika bring light, safety, and long life to all who give and receive care.
