✨ Come Meet Eastern Roots Wellness at the Fall Pathways Expo! ✨

If you’ve never experienced Eastern Roots Wellness, this is the perfect chance to come say hello, meet me, and learn a little about how I approach acupuncture and whole-person wellness.

At Eastern Roots Wellness Acupuncture, I believe there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to feeling better. Your symptoms, your patterns, your constitution and your life all matter — which is why treatments are individualized to you.

🌿 Acupuncture & Traditional Chinese Medicine
✨ Women’s health & hormone support
🌸 Cosmetic & facial rejuvenation acupuncture
🪷 Stress, sleep & nervous-system support
💆‍♀️ Acupuncture + manual therapies
🌙 And more!

And because I’m a little eccentric (in the best way 😉), I’ll also have a small selection of crystals and gemstone pieces from my collection at the table — including palm stones chosen around themes like calm, healing, vitality and intuition.

Think of my booth as a little introduction to Eastern Roots Wellness: evidence-informed acupuncture with an individualized, holistic approach… and a little crystal whimsy on the side. ✨

Come by, say hi, ask questions, check out the crystals, and see what makes my approach a little different.

P.S. ✨ PATHWAYS EXPO SPECIAL ✨

Book your first acupuncture appointment at the Expo and receive a complimentary crystal palm stone to take home.

📍 Pathways Fall Expo

I’d love to meet you! 💚
