What if your neuropathy treatment could do more than reduce pain? A clinical trial found that 10 weekly acupuncture treatments improved nerve conduction itself.

Can you tell it's my favorite time of year? ☀️

Weddings. County fairs. Lake days. Bike rides. Long evenings that somehow make you want to squeeze every bit of life out of the day. And most of all, time spent with the people I love—friends, family, and all the moments that bring us together.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer is associated with the Fire element and the emotion of joy. When balanced, joy helps us connect with others, strengthen relationships, and fully experience life. But even positive emotions can become excessive. Too many commitments, late nights, and constantly being on the go can leave us feeling scattered, restless, overstimulated, or exhausted.

As much as I love everything summer brings, it's also a good reminder for me to stay grounded. To slow down between adventures. To protect my sleep. To take a quiet walk, sit by the water, or simply enjoy a moment of stillness.

Summer invites us to embrace joy, connection, and celebration—but also to balance it with rest.

Wishing you a season full of sunshine, laughter, and meaningful time with the people you love. ❤️🌿

Putting the finishing touches on my clinic space almost 8 months after opening the doors, and I couldn’t be more excited to finally share the finished product soon ✨

Building a space that feels calming, healing, and aligned with the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine has been such a rewarding process. Every detail was chosen with intention to create an environment where patients can truly relax, restore balance, and support their health naturally through acupuncture and TCM.

So grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way — I can’t wait to show you all what it’s become ❤️

Stay Tuned Folks

Ginger, Honey and Turmeric Tea. 🙏🏻

Turmeric has anti inflammatory and anti bacterial effects. Also tastes great with honey and ginger.

Keep on fighting those allergies everyone! 🔥

🌿 Online booking is now open through July 10th! 🌿

I've added A LOT more evening appointments over the month of June while we navigate a little life transition — our amazing daycare provider is on maternity leave, so we’re embracing flexibility, adaptability… and a slightly more creative family schedule 😅

In true Traditional Chinese Medicine fashion, we’re flowing with the season instead of fighting it. When life shifts, we adjust the treatment plan, nourish the Qi, and keep moving forward 🌱✨

If you’ve been waiting for an after-work appointment, now is a great time to grab one before they fill up!

Thank you all for your continued support, patience, and understanding as we balance healing work and family life ❤️

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!🌸

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), mothers are often seen as the heart of the family — nurturing, grounding, and giving endlessly of themselves. This weekend, we honor the strength, wisdom, and care that mothers bring into our lives every single day.

Just as TCM teaches the importance of balance and restoration, Mother’s Day is a beautiful reminder for every mom to also take time to nourish herself — mind, body, and spirit. Whether it’s through rest, herbal support, acupuncture, movement, or simply a quiet moment of peace, self-care is not a luxury — it’s essential.

To all the amazing mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures:

Thank you for your endless love, healing energy, and sacrifice. May you always feel appreciated, supported, and deeply cared for. 💖

PS: thank you Teresa Dean for being my mom❤️

This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend ASA 2026, and I’m still feeling inspired and energized by everything I learned. One of the highlights was hearing Ayla Wolf speak in person—her work beautifully bridges acupuncture and neuroscience, exploring how the nervous system responds to needling and how we can better understand the mind-body connection through both Eastern and Western perspectives.

It’s always incredible to see how modern research continues to validate what this medicine has known for thousands of years. Experiences like this deepen my commitment to bringing thoughtful, informed care back to my patients here in Mankato.

Dreams really do come true 💫

✨ Supporting Fertility Naturally with Moxa on DU 4 ✨

If you’re on a fertility journey, you may be exploring gentle, supportive therapies alongside (or instead of) conventional care. One powerful technique we use in acupuncture is moxibustion (moxa) on DU 4 (Mingmen)—a point located on the lower back that’s deeply connected to reproductive health.

🌿 From a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective:
DU 4 is known as the “Gate of Life.” It’s associated with Kidney Yang energy—the vital warmth and vitality needed for healthy reproductive function. When this energy is weak, it may present as fatigue, coldness, low libido, or fertility challenges.
Applying moxa (a gentle, warming herbal heat) to DU 4 helps:
• Warm and tonify Kidney Yang
• Improve circulation in the pelvic region
• Support hormonal balance
• Create a more receptive environment for conception

🔥 From a Western perspective:
While research is still evolving, moxibustion may support fertility by:
• Increasing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
• Promoting relaxation and reducing stress (a key factor in hormonal health)
• Supporting nervous system regulation
• Potentially influencing endocrine function

💛 Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or alongside assisted reproductive therapies, treatments like moxa can be a comforting and empowering addition to your care plan.

As always, treatments are personalized—if you’re curious whether this approach is right for you, I’m happy to chat!
