Pediatric acupuncture is about so much more than needles.

For kids, we can use a variety of gentle tools and techniques—including needle-free options—to support their care in a way that feels comfortable and approachable.

Every treatment is tailored to the child, their age, and what they’re comfortable with.

Curious what pediatric acupuncture can actually look like? Here’s a peek at some of the tools we use.

Postpartum life, July edition: 13 nights under canvas, from Tuolumne Meadows to the El Dorado wilderness to the ocean at Waddell Beach. 🏕

With both of us on parental leave this summer — and an endlessly energetic toddler alongside a newborn — we found our refuge in nature. Open meadows where our daughter could run wild without me lunging after her toward a road (which she finds hilarious, of course). And baby Oak? So chill, everywhere. Watching him sleep through his first month of mountain air, I understood: we didn't just take a break in nature, we actually got to rest.

It wasn't all golden. A leaking tent in unexpected rain. Twenty-knot winds off the ocean. A toddler's opinions at 6am. But even the hard moments felt like they belonged.

Chinese medicine has always taught what this month reminded me of: we heal by moving with the seasons, not against them. Summer is the season of expansion and joy — yang at its fullest — and postpartum is a season of its own, one that asks for warmth, nourishment, and slowness. Somehow, around a camp stove with nowhere to be, we got all three. The classics say to live in rhythm with nature; it turns out nature will hold your whole chaotic family while you do. 🌿

Back at the clinic in September — bringing this season with me.

Feeling incredibly grateful after an amazing facial acupuncture treatment with Dr. Ilana today — all while breastfeeding my son 🤍

I love that this isn’t an alternative to Botox (nothing against it, I just prefer not to use it) — it’s a treatment I know is genuinely good for my skin and facial health, and it feels amazing: massage, gua sha, cupping, hot towels, LED light.

It’s a full sensory experience, almost like aromatherapy — the sound of the spray, the warmth of the cupping, the scent of the beautiful YINA products. The mist Hydracloud cream and the fortify serum are my favorites.

Beginning this September, Dr. Özben will be offering one-on-one pediatric acupuncture at Felek — for babies, children, and teens.

Every child is met exactly where they are. Some do beautifully with our very thin needles, placed and gone in a moment. Others prefer no needles at all — and for them we have shonishin, gentle acupressure, soft gua sha, and warming moxa.

This medicine can support little ones with sleep, digestion, frequent colds, allergies, eczema, big feelings, growing pains, and more.

Sessions are a full hour, at your child’s pace, in a calm and playful space. Booking opens now for September — link in bio.

We’re excited to introduce a new monthly gathering beginning this September.

🍃 Gather for Tea: The Living Art of Gong Fu Cha 🍃
📅 First Saturdays beginning September 5
🕥 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
📍 In the meditation room at our clinic
💲 $25

Join Brad for a slow Saturday morning steeped in the ancient art of Gong Fu Cha — the traditional Chinese practice of preparing tea with care, attention, and skill.

Together we’ll explore beautiful teas from China, Japan, and Taiwan while learning the stories, traditions, and philosophy behind this centuries-old practice. With a quiet, unhurried pace and a small group of no more than seven people, this gathering offers a natural way to cultivate mindfulness, connection, and presence.

Whether you’re a longtime tea lover, curious about ceremonial tea, or simply looking for a peaceful way to begin your weekend, you’ll leave feeling calmer, more grounded, and perhaps a little tea-obsessed.

Brad has been sharing tea with the community since 1999, when he began working at Far Leaves Tea in Berkeley. His approach is inspired by decades of study, including Zen and Taoist meditation practice and a lifelong appreciation for tea’s connection to the contemplative arts.

Everything is provided — just bring yourself. Come alone or bring a friend.

Space is limited and advance registration is recommended. We look forward to sharing a cup with you. 🍵
