It’s Lung season (and large intestine!) aka even your body knows it’s the time of year to release and let go. Let go of what is excess, let go of what is unnecessary, let go of what is not yours to carry. Put down the things you are carrying out of habit and no longer adding meaning to your life. And if you don’t want to let go, you have to find a way to direct the energy so that it starts supporting you. Otherwise, it is the season that will reveal and highlight the imbalances in your life to hasten your action back towards balance and equilibrium.

Pears - great for supporting the physical susceptibilities of the season as well as the energetic.

- Great for lung dryness
- Dry coughs
- hoarseness
- clears heat from the lungs
- effective for thick yellow phlegm
- good to quench thirst

CAUTION: If pregnant, or you think you’re pregnant or you’re trying to get pregnant, be careful with pears as they are said to cause poor fetal development and miscarriage.

Vacation, stay-cation, time off, time away, Whatever you call it and for however long it is, it’s a necessary counterpoint for the heavy yang of Summer, and honestly, year round to keep the balance of activity and rest in your life.

Summer is the most yang time of year, peak rising energy - think fire element, heat, lots of activity, more time outdoors, less structure. Think fireworks.

Summer is great and, it’s good to remember that even though the seasons move from one extreme (summer) to another (winter), your body always needs balance and rhythm to stay healthy and well. Give us a call to schedule your next session and keep your body happy!

Those dark marks might look intimidating on your feed, but it’s probably not what you’re thinking. Cupping isn’t about bruising—it’s about decompression. By creating a vacuum, we lift the skin and fascia away from the muscle. This breaks up deep stagnation, pulls old cellular waste to the surface, and allows a flood of fresh, oxygen-rich blood to rush in.

It doesn’t hurt. It feels like a deep, reverse massage that unloads weight you didn’t even realize you were carrying.
If your back feels tight just reading this, it might be time to book a session. Drop a 🩸 if you’ve tried it, or a 🚫 if you’re still on the fence!

The best way to add fun color to your greens! It’s also a really nice middle-ground green—less harsh than kale and more nourishing overall.

Nature & Flavor

Nature: Slightly cool (leans more neutral than kale)
Flavor: Sweet, slightly bitter
Channel Entry: Liver, Stomach, Large Intestine

1. Nourishes Blood (mildly)

The red coloration + mineral content gives it a slight Blood-tonifying quality
Useful adjunct for mild Blood deficiency (fatigue, dry skin, light-headedness)

2. Clears Heat & Cools Blood

Gentler than kale
Good for low-grade heat, skin issues, irritability

3. Moistens Intestines

More effective than kale for dry constipation, especially in deficient patients

4. Supports Liver Qi flow

Less dispersing than kale, more harmonizing
Good for patients who are stagnant + slightly deficient

🥬Clinical Feel Compared to Kale

Kale: more clearing, dispersing, draining
Chard: more nourishing, moistening, harmonizing

There’s something incredibly special about supporting someone’s healing, not just for one session, but for years. True healing is built over time with consistency, trust, and care.

The relationship we build matters. Taking the time to truly understand you—your body, your history, your needs—allows me to support you in a way that’s deeply personal and effective. When you come in, you’re not just another appointment, you’re my priority.

If you’re ready to feel better in your body and be supported in a real, lasting way, I’d love to work with you.

In the 90s, kale had one job — decorating the Pizza Hut salad bar. Not for eating. Just for vibes.
If your energy feels as stuck as a 1995 buffet line, it’s time to eat your kale and move your stagnant qi!

Nature: Slightly cool
Flavor: Bitter
Channel Entry: Liver, Stomach

🥬Functions (TCM perspective)

1. Clears Heat & Cools Blood

Useful for mild Liver heat or Stomach heat patterns
Can help with signs like irritability, red eyes, or inflammatory conditions

2. Promotes Smooth Flow of Liver Qi

Bitter + green → supports Liver regulation
Good adjunct for stress, constraint, rib-side tension

3. Moistens Intestines / Promotes Bowel Movement

Especially when lightly cooked with oil
Helpful in dry constipation (less so for deficiency-type constipation)

4. Supports Digestion (Stomach Qi)

The slight sweetness gives it a mild harmonizing effect
Better tolerated than harsher bitter greens

5. Detox / Resolves Toxicity (modern interpretation)

Falls under the category of foods that clear internal heat and toxicity, especially from a dietary therapy lens
