EAT FOR THE SEASON: FALL + THE METAL ELEMENT 🍂

Fall is a season of transition—a time when nature begins to slow down, release what it no longer needs, and prepare for winter.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, fall is associated with the Metal element and the Lungs, making it an especially important time to support our respiratory system, immunity, skin, and our body’s ability to adapt to change.

I will be providing some tips to boost lung health in the fall and how to eat for the fall season. All attendees will also be leaving with some ear seeds which help calm the nervous system and do not pierce the skin.

You already know someone who is a great candidate for acupuncture! One of the most common things I hear in my practice is , “wow, I never thought about coming to acupuncture for this!” Would you like to learn more about the benefits of acupuncture? Do you have a small business you would like to present to a group of other professionals? DM me for a link! I’m presenting on zoom tomorrow and would love to see you there!

A week after the initial injury, this martial artist came in with a lateral ankle sprain that didn’t fully reveal itself right away — something I see more often than you’d think.

What started as “not too bad” turned into lingering pain, instability, and that subtle hesitation in movement that tells you the body isn’t fully trusting the joint yet.

In this session, I focused on:
✨ Reducing inflammation and residual swelling
✨ Activating local circulation to promote healing
✨ Supporting ligament repair and proprioception
✨ Addressing compensatory patterns up the kinetic chain

Electro-acupuncture + distal points helped wake the ankle back up while calming the reactive tension through the leg.

Injuries don’t always show their full story on day one. The body reveals layers — and when we listen closely, we can treat not just the pain, but the pattern behind it.

Back to training soon… but stronger, smarter, and more connected. 🥋

The Year of the Fire Horse arrives with vibrant Heart energy. ❤️🔥

In the Five Elements of Chinese medicine, Fire governs the Heart and Small Intestine — our capacity for joy, discernment, connection, and clarity.

The Horse symbolizes movement and forward momentum. Paired with Fire, it asks us to live courageously — but with awareness. To expand — but without burning out. In the last Year, we shed 🐍now is the time to run towards joy and expansion.

I am deeply honored to practice within this rich medical tradition. This new cycle is a reminder to nourish the Heart, regulate the nervous system, and cultivate joy as medicine. 💊❤️😍

May this year bring warmth, vitality, and balanced abundance.

✨ Cupping = Body Comunication✨

These aren’t bruises — this is a valuable form of communication practitioners use to find the source of pain.

❤️ Bright red = fresh circulation, qi & blood moving
🍷 Deep red/purple = stagnation, tension, old holding patterns

Notice no space between cups?
Leaving space between cups can leave pockets of stagnation behind. Full, coverage allows circulation to return evenly, fascia to release completely, and healing to last longer.

We follow the color in this method to reduce pain. And although it looks pretty brutal , it’s just for show. It may be slightly tender where the cups were placed, but this is nothing like a skin abrasion. What’s your cupping story?
