Taken this morning before patients arrived at the Victoria Native Friendship Center. It feels good to be back in the community acupuncture saddle. It was a busy day but there was a nice flow. I have ten minutes for my intake and needling, which feels just right. Then folks can snooze for up to an hour.

I had forgotten how peaceful and safe it feels when a group of people are all in a circle napping together. It's very soothing for the nervous system--theirs and mine!

I will share some more pics as we go along.

Hello, it's been awhile! Just wanted to hop on here to update you on my clinic hours. I'm currently offering treatments from my home clinic on Rowland Ave on Tuesday mornings.

If downtown is more convenient, you can catch me on Fri/Sat/Sun and on Tuesday afternoons.

As always, if you are open to touch, I will include tui na and acupressure along with the needles.

Ooh! And fire cupping🔥🔥🔥

Having worked in a community clinic for 4+ years, I recognize that private acupuncture can be cost-prohibitive. Not everyone has an extended health plan. Some have lost their jobs or had their wages reduced since we entered this pandemic. And some of you are students, with not a lot to spare...

If this applies to you, please reach out: [email protected]. I have a limited number of sliding scale spots ($70-$100) available on Tuesday mornings at the Recovery Clinic at Third Space Movement

transitions... oof!

8 more days of mercury retrograde...and whether you take your cues from the skies or not, these last few weeks have been challenging for many.

relationships ending, getting a new diagnosis of some sort (and processing the fear), concern about vaccinating or not vaccinating, shifts in family
systems, a new ache or pain where there wasn't one before...

these are a few of the issues bubbling to the surface lately that i've experienced myself or held space for in clinic.

but there have been moments of clarity and hope as well! tiny victories deserve
acknowledgement too: a frozen shoulder coming out of its hibernation and getting back to work reaching for things like fresh coffee or pulling a loved one into a hug. a restless leg finally.... taking rest! and yesterday this utterance following a treatment: "i feel like a new person". it feels a little cumbersome and clonkity to share that buuuuuut...

...resisting the urge to self-deprecate and deflect in the re-telling, that's an old pattern that i'm ready to bury so that like nepo says, something new can grow 🌱
