Acupuncture is not just relaxing. It is a real medical treatment that works by regulating your nervous system, your hormones, your circulation, and your stress response.

Most people feel a shift right away. You may feel calmer, clearer, and more grounded. With consistent sessions, these changes become your new normal.

Whether you are working on hormones, sleep, digestion, pain, migraines, or simply trying to feel better day to day, your body responds incredibly well to this gentle and cumulative medicine.

If you have been curious about acupuncture or wondering if it could help what you are going through, this is your sign to start.

Winter always wakes up the part of me that still hurts.
There’s something about the early darkness that brings my grief closer to the surface.

This time of year slows everything down.
And when things get quiet, the feelings I’ve tried to stay ahead of finally catch up.
It’s uncomfortable, but it’s also honest.
And I’m learning not to run from that.

What’s been helping me is remembering that so much begins in the dark.
Seeds, babies, whole new lives… all of it starts where no one can see.
So maybe my grief is doing something in me too.
Maybe it’s shifting or softening or reshaping me in ways I won’t understand until later.

I don’t have answers.
Just a little more compassion for the parts of me that still ache.

If this season feels heavy for you too, you’re not alone.
We can let the dark be a place to rest, not a place to fear.
Some things grow best there 🌱

As we move into Thanksgiving, it is a perfect moment to remember that gratitude isn’t just an emotion, it is a physiological tool your body responds to instantly.

Research shows that consistent gratitude practice activates the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex, regions that help regulate emotional intensity and dampen amygdala-driven stress responses. The result is measurable drops in cortisol, improved vagal tone, and a shift toward parasympathetic, rest-and-digest dominance.

In Chinese Medicine, gratitude nourishes the Heart and Shen, anchoring the spirit and calming internal agitation. It is one of the simplest ways to soothe the nervous system, improve sleep, support digestion, and create hormonal stability.

This week, instead of focusing only on the big meal or the stress of hosting and traveling, try weaving in a small daily gratitude ritual. Write down three things you are thankful for. Share one meaningful moment from your day with someone you love. Slow down long enough to notice how your body responds.

A grateful heart isn’t just symbolic, it is somatic. Your whole system feels the difference.

This week in clinic I’m treating such a wide range of conditions: stress, neck pain, migraines, hormonal shifts, digestive issues, insomnia, and that deep tired but wired feeling so many people are having right now.

Acupuncture meets the body wherever it is and helps create balance, circulation, and calm from the inside out. No matter what someone walks in with, the goal is always the same: help the body heal and feel better.

I see it all the time in my practice. Patients start sleeping better, conceiving, or finally feeling at home in their bodies not just because of the needles, but because something in their life shifted.

They left the job that drained them.
They moved to a space that felt light again.
They ended the relationship that kept their nervous system on high alert.

The body doesn’t open in chaos. It opens in safety.

That’s why shavasana follows the most invigorating yoga flow. It’s where the nervous system integrates the work.
It’s why forty five minutes of stillness on the acupuncture table, without a single notification or demand, can create the conditions for transformation.

Healing happens in the exhale, when we stop pushing and finally allow space to receive.

Acupuncture helps you drop into that deep quiet where your body remembers how to heal itself. Each point is like a small reminder that you’re safe to soften, to release, to rebuild 🫶🏼

Did you know there’s a set of acupuncture points called Ghost Points? 👻

Originally used over 2,000 years ago for extreme agitation and “possession-like” states, today they help with stress, anxiety, insomnia, emotional overwhelm, and nervous system imbalance.

Some commonly used Ghost Points include:

DU26 (Shuigou) – revives consciousness and calms agitation

DU16 (Fengfu) – clears the mind, supports emotional balance

PC8 (Laogong) – settles the heart and calms restlessness

HT7 (Shenmen) – nourishes the spirit for emotional stability

LI11 (Quchi) – clears heat and excess energy from the body

While we no longer worry about evil possessions, we all carry our own demons. Ghost Points are a spooky, fascinating tool to help release them and restore balance.

When I work with pregnant patients, I rarely start with scans or just prenatal vitamins. I start by looking at lab values from a functional medicine perspective, assessing blood sugar, protein status, iron, magnesium, and other key nutrients. The placenta consumes more iron and magnesium than any other organ in the body, pulling directly from the mother’s stores to support fetal growth and hormone production.

From there, I create a plan to support the whole person. I use acupuncture to regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and improve circulation. I recommend targeted herbs and supplements to replenish nutrients and support hormone balance. I also guide patients on real nourishment and restorative rest so their body can do the work it was designed to do.

This is what true prenatal care looks like: supporting the mother first so the baby can thrive. If you want care that goes beyond the checklist, I’d love to help you feel strong, nourished, and prepared for this journey.

Too often I see women told, “You don’t need labs—just try naturally for 6 months.”

But if you know something feels off… you don’t need to wait.

You deserve answers before months of guessing and frustration.

These are the labs I most often recommend for women trying to conceive. The ones that actually give us insight into your hormones, thyroid, nutrient status, and overall fertility health.

When we understand your body, we can support it intentionally: with acupuncture, nutrition, and targeted supplements, instead of hoping things “just work out.”

And yes, I can order these labs for you 💛

✨ Save this post for your next fertility workup or send it to a friend who’s TTC.

✨ Advocate for yourself — being proactive is not overreacting.

lately for me, healing has felt less like doing everything “right” and more like coming home to myself.

it’s been in the quiet things: drinking herbal tea in bed with my heating pad and a book, saying no without guilt, letting myself cry instead of holding it in, pressing snooze on my alarm clock for another 30 minutes of sleep.

it’s showing up for acupuncture, taking my herbs, going to the gym, and making time for rest. but mostly, it’s showing up for me and whatever I might need in that very moment.

healing isn’t linear. it’s messy and sacred and deeply human. and if you’re in it right now, just know that you’re not behind. you are right on time 🫶🏼
