Madi has experienced the power of cupping therapy to reduce pain and promote healing, allowing her to get back on her feet doing what she loves. . Ready to try cupping for yourself? Click the link in the bio 👆🏼to learn about our services and book an appointment. There are still sessions available tomorrow, Saturday, and next week!. . What can cupping therapy do? 〰 Breaks up stagnant muscle and connective tissues -- great for pain and tension anywhere in the body! 〰 Increases blood circulation and tissue oxygenation. 〰 Activates the lymphatic system and promotes detoxification. 〰 Soothes the nervous system and reduce blood pressure. 〰 Supports healthy lung function and manages asthma symptoms. 〰 Supports of wide range of internal medicine concerns, such as digestive system irregularity, menstrual cramping and irregularity. 〰 Helps to move out stuck emotions and energies that are bogging you down. . Cupping can be done almost anywhere on the body, and combines well with acupuncture, Tuina (Chinese medical massage), Guasha (therapy that uses scraping pressure against the skin), Reiki healing, and other modalities. Depending on the person, cupping marks fade anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Our team loves cupping, and you will too! 💓
Our team of Licensed Acupuncturists specializes in Chinese Medicine, but we also do a whole lot more! Amy and I both offer Reiki, a form of energetic medicine that channels universal energy to help balance your own internal energy. The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei, which means “higher power”, and Ki (or in Chinese, qi), which means “life force energy”. This safe, effective, and soothing form of energy medicine helps to regulate the flow of the body’s energies and substances, balance the chakra system, and promote healing of mind, body, and spirit. ☯️. . Reiki is an excellent complementary therapy to other forms of medicine, and is appropriate for people of all ages and states of health. Reiki can be performed by gentle laying on of hands, or with the hands hovering above the body surface. . I love combining Reiki with stone medicine, by choosing specific stones to place on the chakras, the palms, or other locations to enhance the therapeutic effect of the session. 🔮 Reiki is also a natural complement to acupuncture treatment, intentional breathwork, and guided relaxation meditations. I have seen Reiki be useful in transforming stagnation and releasing blockages in the physical and spiritual bodies, promoting a sense of calm and ease, and reducing tension, pain, and discomfort. . Interested in learning more or trying Reiki for yourself? We offer 60-minute Reiki Healing sessions, and often utilize Reiki in our 60-minute Acupuncture and 90-minute Acupuncture Plus sessions.

Mad as hell, at the white supremacist violence firmly threaded through history to present day, a reality which reared its horrible, grotesque head last weekend in Charlottesville. Mad as hell at the white supremacy apologist who holds the title of President, whose words and actions have empowered and emboldened the fearful and the hateful to act. Silence is complacency, silence is violence. Those of us who have chosen -- and were chosen for -- the path of the healer must have our eyes and hearts open. We have work to do and a role to play in dismantling systems of oppression and healing trauma, within ourselves, our communities, our government. This is especially true for we healers who are white, and benefit daily from white privilege in our professional practices and our personal lives. Lead with fierce love, a love that is deep and fiery and transformative, a love that conquers and overcomes. . . Gratitude to @cleowade for creating and sharing the graphic.
Late summer allergy season has hit -- and you don't have to suffer! Chinese Medicine has many options to support you. Acupuncture, cupping, guasha, and herbal medicine can all help to reduce allergy symptoms such as nasal and chest congestion, breathing difficulties, itchy eyes, that awful foggy-headed feeling, and fatigue. These are a handful of some of my favorite formulas to help support the immune system and reduce allergy symptoms, selected based on your unique constitutional pattern and symptom presentation! The cool part? Chinese Medicine can not only reduce your symptoms, but can help to strengthen your defense system -- we call that "Wei qi". Curious about how we can support you?
