🧘‍♀️ Beyond the Yoga mat: The Secret Life of Your Lats 🪵✨

Today in Yoga Teacher Training (YTT), we dove deep into the muscles of the trunk! To make things fun, I even built my own DIY anatomy demo doll using tacks. So predictable, right? 😂 As an acupuncturist, the muscular pathways feel incredibly predictable, but today I got to present on a personal favorite: the Latissimus Dorsi (your “lats”).

Here is why this massive back muscle is a total game-changer for your mind and body:

💪 The “Arm Muscle” Hiding in Your Back
Did you know your lats attach to your arm bone (the bicipital groove of the humerus)? This is why “shoulder pain” is so often just a tight lat muscle in disguise! A good practitioner looks at the back, not just the shoulder joint.

🚪 Everyday Hugs & Movement
You use your lats every day! They power you every time you pull open a heavy door or wrap your arms around someone for a supportive hug.

☯️ The Emotional Shield
In TCM, the back holds our Yang energy and stores unexpressed emotions. This is exactly why deep back-opening yoga poses can trigger an unexpected emotional cry-release on your mat. You are releasing trapped energy!

🫁 Starving for Oxygen
The biggest takeaway? Tight back muscles are often just starving for oxygen. Deep breathwork is our ultimate medicine—it feeds the tissue, lowers cortisol, and balances the brain.

🛡️ Respect Your Constitution
Safety first! Every body is different. A weak constitution requires a gentle, nourishing approach, while a strong constitution can handle deeper fire. Always meet the body where it is.

Next time you take a deep breath or hug a friend, thank your lats!

🌸✨ This month’s Women2Women Connecting gathering was beautifully held by the Emerald Coast waters — the perfect setting for connection, laughter, and creativity.

We spent the afternoon arranging our own flower bouquets 🌹, and I couldn’t help but reflect how aligned this activity was with the energy of May.

In TCM, working gently through the fingertips stimulates the Jing Well points 👋🏼, powerful points that help ease the nervous system, release excess heat from the chest and cool the Heart during the summer season.

Sometimes healing is subtle. Sometimes it looks like flowers, shared stories, laughter, and being present with one another. 😁

Thank you to Ginny from Southern Comfort for lunch and providing the beautiful flower arrangement activity, and to our wonderful facilitator Sylvia Tannuzer, who guided us through heartfelt memories of how flowers have touched our lives over the years.

Tammy, Tammy, and I had such a wonderful time. Truly a beautiful day in this special part of the world we call home. Feeling grateful and blessed. 🙏🏼✨💕

Drive safe. Stay safe. 🌿✨

The sun can be intense or soft, but without it, there is no life. Thank you for being the universe's “biochemical” magic that makes us whole.

Happy Mother's Day 💝 ~ Dr. P 🤓

✨🎥 A Proud Moment for My TCM Family ✨

https://youtu.be/Tu68muQWlfc

If you attended the NAW Open House two years ago, you may remember meeting my dear friend and colleague, Dr. Kim Woo, who flew all the way from San Diego. 💛

And yes — her son Ian practically grew up in the classroom with us 😄. He was there while we studied acupuncture point locations, memorized herbs, and survived long TCM school days together. Watching him now feels like seeing a little brother grow into his purpose.

This YouTube conversation between them beautifully highlights some of the often misunderstood or “mystified” aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine. What I especially love is how they discuss the integration of Conventional Medicine, Functional Medicine, and TCM in a grounded and practical way.

And honestly, I love seeing Gen Z becoming more open to TCM — asking deeper questions, exploring holistic healing, and looking beyond the quick-fix culture. 🌿✨

It’s about an hour long, but truly worth the listen — educational, insightful, and filled with humor in between.

So proud of this Mom & Son duo. 💫
From classroom memories… to sharing wisdom with the world.

✨💫 Happy Qi-versary, Navarre Acupuncture & Wellness 💫✨

Six years ago, in the midst of the COVID-19 shutdown, Ernie and I said yes to opening our practice in Navarre.

At the time, I was leaving a group practice in Pensacola. Stepping out on my own took courage. From finding a space, renovating, scheduling, and hiring — everything was built from the root, step by step.

I’ve always trusted my intuition in healing — the connection with needles and moxibustion. That came naturally. The business side? I learned through class seminar and experience — humbly and imperfectly.

✨ This is where the rubber meets the road.
Textbooks don’t always translate into real-life case solutions. The real classroom is in treating patients and running a practice. Every patient has been my teacher.

I began in March 2020 with a goal to open in May 2020… and it aligned. My first day treating was May 4th 2020— “May the Fourth 🙌🏼💫 be with you” like Star Wars 😄✨

Starting something new is scary.
So is being a first-time acupuncture patient.

But once you experience it, healing goes far beyond the original complaint.

This is more than treatment — it’s a way of life for your body, mind, and spirit.

Thank you for trusting 🙏🏼 me on YOUR healing journey. 💖🙌🏼💫

✨ May the Fourth be with you ✨
Dr. Pam DACM, L.Ac.

😂✨ Post-Acupuncture Face ✨😂

Started my day with Jessica , I planned to observe her yoga flow… but somehow ended up fully joining in 😄 Beautiful flow as always 💫.

I went with Wu Wei, a Daoist philosophy concept, often translated as “not doing,” but really it means not forcing. Moving without resistance, without overthinking… just allowing.

And yes, this is the face cradle look 😂
Patients always ask me, “Do you get acupuncture too?”
The answer is absolutely yes.

I especially love back treatments with needles & moxa, the kind I can’t do on myself. Back treatments nourish Yang energy, while the front supports Yin. Thank you Dr. Sunny . She is my acupuncturist and friend.

As we move into the peak Yang season (summer), it’s important that our internal Yang can adapt to the external heat, especially this year. 🔥

For me, this is balance.
Last Saturday and weekdays, I was and am the giver. Today, I’m the receiver.

Not perfection — just walking the talk.

Wishing everyone a mindful, balanced week ahead. 🙏🏼💕 ~ Dr. Pam DACM, L.Ac.
