“I just like to smile, smiling’s my favorite.” 😄

Pretty sure Buddy would approve of anything that keeps the smiles coming… like using your FSA before the year’s up. Don’t let those dollars disappear — treat yourself to acupuncture or massage! Link to book in bio 🎁✨

Hi, I’m Kyler! It’s been a minute (read: years 😅) since I’ve introduced myself, so here’s a little update on who I am and what Moon Tides is all about.

I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist currently in my ninth year of practice. Before that, I completed my four-year Master’s program in Chicago at Pacific College of Health and Science (formerly PCOM), where I had the privilege of learning from the best mentor, Tim Suh . I consider myself a lifelong student and work-in-progress—forever curious, forever evolving.

My love for astrology, the moon (Cancer Sun here), the ocean, and the natural rhythms we all move through is what inspired the name Moon Tides. My intention is to help others align with their purpose by honoring their own unique tides—supporting healing mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I truly believe that if everyone got acupuncture regularly, the world would be a much kinder, more healed place.

I prioritize deeply listening to my patients. Being truly heard is healing in itself, and unfortunately, it’s something many people don’t experience—especially in healthcare. I’m also ABORM-certified, reflecting my advanced training in fertility acupuncture and integrative, evidence-based care.

Beyond fertility support, I specialize in pain management, digestive health, stress and anxiety, and migraines and headaches. I truly love this medicine—its ability to ease pain, support resilience, restore balance, and help prevent disease never stops inspiring me.

My aim is to provide holistic, heart-centered care to all in a comfortable, safe environment to allow individuals to feel safe, seen, and able to thrive. 💛 If you’ve made it this far, 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Thanks for being here, and thanks for all your support over the years!

Here’s your sign to book some self-care this holiday season! Acupuncture invokes the body’s own self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms which allow your mind and body to relax deeply to facilitate healing and nourishment. We use very thin, sterile, one-time use needles ranging from .12mm to .22mm. Tiny objects that produce incredible results.
Here , our mission is to help you relax fully and feel as comfortable as possible throughout the entire process. Upon insertion, you may feel a slight pinch followed by a heavy or distending feeling as the Qi is manipulated. Once the body relaxes into the treatment, there is often no discomfort. Don’t let your fear of needles hold you back from the tremendous relief this medicine provides! Link in bio to book your appointment today. 🪄

At the core of Chinese medical theory is the theory of the Internal Organs. This theory represents the view of the body as an integrated whole. Western medicine sees each organ in its anatomical and physiological aspects (body=machine) where Chinese medicine views each organ as a complex energetic system taking into consideration not only its anatomical and physiological aspects, but also its mental, emotional and spiritual aspects (body=garden).

Let’s review the Kidneys. In Chinese medicine, the Kidneys are the foundation for all the Yin and Yang energies of the body. They’re referred to as the “Root of Life” because they store the Essence (which can be loosely translated to DNA and genes in Western medicine combined with the immaterial/Soul and physical being). In its pre-Heaven form, the Essence is derived from the parents, established at the moment of conception and determines our basic constitution, strength and vitality. It’s what nourishes the fetus and after birth controls growth and development. (Which is why the state of our health and wellness while trying to conceive is SO important.) The Kidneys also store the post-Heaven Essence which is extracted from food through the transformation of the Kidneys and other organs. A reminder that food is medicine and at the root of optimal health and disease prevention.

In East Asian medicine, the Kidneys’ functions and some of the pathologies are as follows (continued in comments).

On this love day (or Hallmark day, depending on who you ask 🤷🏻‍♀️), a reminder to love yourself. “Love yourself. Be clear on how you want to be treated. Know your worth. Always.”

Heart 7, Shén Mén, Spirit Gate, is located on the wrist crease in the depression on the radial side of the tendon. Find the space between your pinky and ring finger and follow it down. Massage this point if feeling intense emotions or feeling anxious, stressed, restless or heartbroken. Also helpful for palpitations and insomnia. Sending all the love to you! 💖
