Persistence. That is exactly what Rebekkah has.

From the beginning, she showed up with determination beyond words to heal from pregnancy induced Bell’s Palsy.. Coming religiously twice a week for acupuncture treatments. As improvements started happening, we gradually reduced treatments to once per week.

There were times when progress felt small. Times when changes were subtle. But she stayed committed. She continued with her treatments, stayed diligent with her home care, and trusted the process.

Today, I am beyond happy with the results she has achieved.

Moments like this are exactly why I do what I do. 💚

Healing isn’t always linear—but sometimes persistence, consistency, and patience can create incredible change.

Same banana… different ways to see it

Here’s what each scan is actually best for:

X-ray – Quick look at dense structures
Bones, fractures, chest (lungs)

MRI – Soft tissue detail
Brain, muscles, ligaments, nerves

CT scan – Detailed cross-sections
Internal injuries, bleeding, organs (fast and precise)

Think of it like this:
X-ray = snapshot
MRI = deep soft-tissue view
CT = 3D map of the inside

Not all scans are interchangeable: each one answers a different question.

Today I had the privilege of invigilating the final 4th-year practicum, and wow, these incredible students came out strong and carried that confidence all the way through.

Their hard work, dedication, and perseverance truly paid off. Moments like this make me feel like such a proud “school mom,” and remind me exactly why I love teaching.

Huge congratulations to both of you on a job exceptionally well done, even through many challenges and obstacles. You’ve earned this! 🎓🥳

NEW PRODUCT – LIQUID MOXA WARMING LINIMENT :)

I’m honestly SO excited about this one. I can barely contain it.

I’ve been working on a traditional herbal liniment inspired by moxibustion, and after testing the latest batch today my hands are still glowing with this incredible deep warmth.

Not just surface heat… that spreading, penetrating warmth you get from moxa.

This formula is built around warming Chinese herbs that move blood, open the channels, and get circulation moving right away.

Ingredients include:

Ai Ye (mugwort) as the chief (Jun) herb
Hong Hua (safflower)
Yan Hu Suo
Chuan Xiong
Ru Xiang
Mo Yao
Rou Gui (cinnamon bark)
Gui Zhi (cinnamon twig)
Gan Jiang (ginger)
Bing Pian
Capsicum
Eucalyptus

The result is a warming herbal liniment that feels incredible on cold hands and feet, stiff joints, sore muscles, and old injuries.

Think moxa warmth without the smoke.

This is the very first batch from ReBalance Botanicals, and seeing the jar of herbs soaking makes me ridiculously happy.

I’ll be rolling this out in the clinic soon and can’t wait for patients to try it.

My hands are still warm as I write this….

If you have muscle pain in your house right now… you need this.

Rolled your ankle?
Tweaked your back?
Pulled something at the gym?

Zheng Gu Shui is your go-to for acute injuries: sprains, strains, sudden flare-ups, impact trauma. When you need fast, targeted relief.

And it doesn’t stop there.

It also excels at chronic pain: stubborn shoulder tension, arthritic joints, lingering low back pain, old injuries that never quite resolved.

This isn’t just another topical.
It’s a powerful TCM liniment made from raw traditional Chinese herbs, formulated to:

✔ Relieve pain fast
✔ Reduce inflammation
✔ Support acute sprains & strains
✔ Calm chronic joint & muscle pain
✔ Restore mobility

This is the bottle you reach for when:
• You twist something unexpectedly
• Your back locks up
• Your shoulder won’t move
• You overdid it at the gym
• An old injury flares (again)

Every active home should have one.
Keep one in your gym bag.
One in your bathroom.
One in your clinic.

Available by prescription through any TCM provider.

Throwback to an interview with professional skier ⛷️

Acupuncture is incredible for athletes, and helps with pain, tightness, and injury recovery. 💪
