We meet again in Late Summer — a season ruled by the Earth element and the organs of the Spleen and Stomach.
•
This time of year often brings more dampness and heaviness, humidity and lingering heat — both inside and out. We may feel this through digestive changes: looser stools, sluggish digestion, bloating, or simply a sense of heaviness and fatigue. Movement can feel slower, and motivation a little harder to come by.
•
To bring ourselves back into balance, we can begin to shift our movement practices, introducing a little more yin and restorative work. Think walking rather than running, easing up on hot yoga, and, of course, swimming whenever possible.
•
Late Summer is a lovely invitation to slow down, nourish ourselves well, and find a little more steadiness before we move into Fall.
•
New office hours beginning September 14th. I’m looking forward to having you in for a visit!

Mondays • 3:00–7:00pm
Wednesdays • 3:30–8:30pm
Thursdays • 9:30am–2:00pm
Fridays • 8:30am–1:00pm

Every positive test, every laboring breath, every postpartum check-in, every moment of hope along the way — I carry them all with gratitude. Being an acupuncturist and birth doula allows me to witness the strength and beauty of motherhood in so many forms. Honored to do this work. Happy Mother’s Day 💛

We have entered into the season of letting go. In the Autumn we see the heat and yang nature of the summer begin to fade and morph into the slower, cooler, more yin time of the year. As we sit here, in the in-between state, the rhythms of nature are clear.
🍁
Leaves fall, the harvest time is over, and the fruits that have not been picked drop to the ground and rot. We are moving toward winter dormancy. This is the time of grief. If we watch we can see these rhythms mirrored in our own bodies
🍂
The organs associated with the Fall are the Lung and Large Intestine, both of which work tirelessly at letting go. The lungs release through the exhale tens of thousands of times every day and the Large Intestine discharges, for most, daily.
🫁
During this time the lungs and large intestine are more vulnerable to dis-ease. You can support your own Lung and Large Intestine organs through diet, movement practices and herbal support. Consider adding moistening foods such as pear, lotus root, mushrooms and honey to your recipes. Be sure to avoid cold, raw foods that are challenging for the body to break down. Move the body gently and focus on opening the space of the chest and lung with large, sweeping circles to open the pectoral region and encourage deep, nourishing breath.
🌬️
If you haven’t been in for a while, this is the perfect time of year for a seasonal acupuncture tune up! I’ve stocked up on a couple of my go-to herbal medicine preparations to keep you healthy in the dreaded cold and flu season (parents… I see you!), just ask when you’re in. I’d love to see you soon.
🍃
Stay warm, nourished and well!

What actually is a birth doula…

A doula is someone who offers emotional and physical support to a birthing person and their partner (if they have one) before, during, and after birth with a carefully curated collaboration of preparation and practice. I offer a holistic, nonjudgemental approach incorporating my knowledge in TCM and pre/post natal movement. This support system enables the birthing family to have the most satisfying birth experience possible.
•
As your doula, I honor your unique wishes and desires for your birth, provide continuous presence and support, and help to facilitate clear communication between you and the hospital staff, as well as offer postpartum support during your first days at home.
•
I currently have availability for one October and one November doula client, and am accepting Winter 2026 birthing clients.
•
Looking for a doula yourself or know someone who is? Feel free to share this information!

My dear patients and friends,

The time has come for me to share a big announcement…. Growing Space is moving to Prospect Heights! It has been a dream realized to build my community over the last (almost) 5 years. Each person who has come in to rest and heal has helped to grow my practice and I am so excited and ready for what is to come.

I will be closing this chapter in Bedstuy and Park Slope at the end of July and shifting to one practice space. Conveniently located at Dean St. and Vanderbilt Ave., our Prospect Heights location will begin welcoming patients on August 11, 2025. Booking is officially open!

Prospect Heights Hours:
Monday 9:30am-6:30pm
Wednesday 3:30pm-8:30pm
Thursday 9:30am-2:30pm

•
Keep an eye out for photo updates as the space comes together. As always, thank you for trusting me with your health, I can’t wait to welcome you in.

I appreciate you making this move with me. In celebration of opening my new space, I am offering a $25 referral credit for both you and any new patients that you send my way!

Fire Season has arrived in the Chinese Medical calendar. When the weather is hot and temperatures soar, it’s easy for Qi to become depleted. What does that look like you may ask…
🔥
When qi is depleted the body and psyche can be affected in many ways. Physically it may feel as though all of your energy has been drained, digestive issues arise, and sleep can become disrupted. In the mental space it’s common to experience a lack of motivation and a general sense of blah-ness.
💧
Here are some tips to support your qi and keep yourself in balance.
🔥
Dietary recs:
- Add Red foods to your diet to aid in supporting qi: Strawberries, watermelon, tomatoes, cherries and red cabbage
- When the heat hits, incorporate foods that are cooling in nature: Cucumber, melon, radish, summer squash, button mushrooms
- Pay attention to hydration. Consider adding cooling herbs like Mint or basil to your water.
💧
Movement recs:
- Move the body gently. Steer clear of strenuous movement practices. If possible exercise earlier in the day or in the late afternoon, avoid exercising during midday when the temps are the highest.
🔥
Social recs:
- Embrace the fire of the season! Meet with friends, go dancing, find a lake to jump into.
💧
Summer is all about joy in Chinese Medicine but don’t forget to schedule some “alone time” to recoup and heal.

Happy Spring friends! 🌿
This is your annual reminder to continue to layer up and protect your neck with a scarf!

In Chinese Medicine, ‘Wind’ is considered one of the “Six Evils” (also including Summer Heat, Heat, Dryness, Cold and Dampness), which can cause dis-ease within the body. The back of the neck is an area of the body where pathogens, or infectious agents, can enter.🌬️

As the wind picks up in the spring, it’s important to remember that even though its getting warmer and we have the urge to throw off the warm clothes, it’s actually the most important time to hang onto the layers.🧣

Follow along for more seasonal support.🌱
