I did hot yoga… felt amazing… and then I carried in groceries like I was training for the Olympics. 😵‍💫 And yep — I tweaked something. So here’s what I’m doing as an acupuncturist to calm inflammation, relax the muscles, and support healing until I can get in for a treatment. Because even practitioners hurt themselves… and we still have to live life. 🙃 Save this for the next time your body humbles you.

People ask why I always wear a scarf in the clinic 🧣 In Chinese medicine, the neck is a gateway—where the warming (yang) channels and immune-supporting points live. Keeping it warm helps with neck pain, shoulder tension, and immune health. This is my winter uniform. #passyourwavytalk

Just in case you didn’t get the memo: ✨ We’re still in winter. ✨ If you’re tired… If the gym feels like a hard no… If your body is begging for naps instead of burpees… That’s not a lack of discipline. That’s biology. Winter is for rest. Spring is for action. And New Year’s resolutions? They make way more sense around Chinese New Year, not January 1st. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. Now go take a nap. 😴

In Chinese medicine, winter is for conserving—not forcing. You still have time to begin.

We chased snow last weekend. The universe took notes.😅

Can’t sleep? Do this instead of staring at the ceiling. Tap the foot. Massage the knee. Massage the low back. 50 times each. You’re activating the Kidney channel—linked in Chinese medicine to deep, restorative rest. 👉 Save this for tonight and share it with a friend who’s tired but wired. 🌙

Hot take: your resolution isn’t broken. You’re just trying to bloom in winter. 🌱 Rest now. Grow later. Agree or disagree?

Headache starting in your neck and crawling up your skull? Pause right here. 🌿 Gallbladder 20 (GB20) is a powerful acupressure point for tension headaches, tight neck and shoulders, and stress that just won’t let go. Gently pressing here can help your body release built-up tension and invite things to soften. No tools. No perfection. Just your hands, your breath, and a few intentional moments. This isn’t about forcing a fix—it’s about supporting your body’s natural ability to unwind and recalibrate. Try this with me, save it for later, and let me know how it feels ✨ #greenscreen

I don’t heal you. I create safety. Your body does the rest—because it always knew how.

This is your gentle last reminder. The Holistic Health Bundle closes tonight, and once it’s gone, it’s gone. If you’ve been wanting support for your nervous system, headaches, hormones, digestion, burnout, or simply a steadier way to care for yourself — this is the easiest, most accessible place to start. You don’t need to do everything inside. You just need the one thing your body is asking for right now. Doors close tonight 🤍 Link in bio.#greenscreensticker

This is what my work looks like every day — slow, intentional, and focused on supporting the whole system. That’s why I chose to be part of the Holistic Health Bundle. It reflects how I actually practice and what I genuinely recommend. If you’ve been considering it, there’s still a little time. The bundle closes Jan 10 and includes my Headache Reset 🤍 Link in bio. #holisticwellness #integrativecare #nervoussystemhealing #holisticpractitioner #selfhealingtools

Launch season usually means go, go, go — but today we paused. We visited the monks on their Walk for Peace at a rest stop, and it felt like the perfect reminder of why I do this work in the first place: calm the nervous system, soften the body, and create space to heal. I wanted to share this moment, even while launching the Holistic Health Bundle (open through Jan 10), because true health starts with peace. Link in bio if you’re feeling the pull 🤍
