Ancient Wisdom to Support the Modern Woman Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicinal Herbs

03/19/2026

Celebrated 38 laps around the sun in true west coast fashion - at the beach roasting 🌭 and making s’mores. From my sabbatical in Spain, to starting up at a new clinic, to surviving months of the worst toddler sleep regression I wouldn’t wish on anyone, to being consistent with my masters swimming program and returning to the gym 🏋️‍♀️ … it’s been an adventure filled, exhausting, inspiring, and overall good year! Here’s hoping I’ll perfect my rock throwing technique at 39 😋 . Xo

2016 ▶️ 2026
I’m loving these blast from the past posts from everyone and taking this trip down memory lane myself.
2016 I was in my first year of acupuncture practice, I was wrapping up my evenings as a server to finally make it work in my chosen profession.Two of my grandparents passed and I was able to visit their home country 🇱🇻 for the first time. I met my partner turned baby daddy, attended 2 of my beautiful friends weddings and spent most of my free time cuddling my pup Kazuri.I lived a block from the ocean, did yoga 5 days a week and life was pretty groovy and carefree✌️

⌛️Making time⏳
🙋‍♀️For me
🥑For food that helps me feel good
🏋️‍♀️For workouts

It only took 2.5 years (postpartum) for me to even have the bandwidth to consider prioritizing making time for things that help me feel well.
I made a big shift a few months ago and brought weight training back into my life, thanks to a super supportive online community and my super cool trainer , and started eating with the focus on fueling my body well … not just eating a toddler diet and scraps (which is mostly just carbs 🍝 and 🧀 cheese)

Here’s some snippets after my workouts recently ✌️(as posted in my accountability group).

🌸Did you know your cervix changes throughout your menstrual cycle and it is one of the ways you can track your ovulation? 🌸

For the majority of your cycle, your cervix sits slightly lower in your va**na (meaning its easier to reach with your finger) and is a little but more firm, like touching the tip of your nose.

During ovulation, when the cervix begins to show, she gets softer ,like touching your bottom lip, and sits a bit higher up in the va**na (meaning you must insert your finger deeper).

This is one of the ways your body naturally becomes more receptive for pregnancy, by having a closer, more closed off gateway throughout the cycle, and softening and opening up during ovulation when conception may be desired.

My sweet little Kazuri 🐾

I got the teeniest chihuahua pup when I had first moved to Nelson, BC to begin my second year of Chinese Medicine studies.
Somehow even as such a wee pup she loved the kootenay winters, ADORED the kootenay summers, and was the best study companion over all those years in school.

Together we’d fly back and forth between Trail and Victoria, she was always a huge hit with the flight attendants and other passengers.

Occasionally she would join me at a community acupuncture clinic I worked at and be a patient greeter on the lap of whoever was working reception.

We camped, we hiked, we swam. Folks were always surprised that she did normal dog things even though she was so small 🥲

SO many times I was told “normally I hate small dogs but Kazuri is different”.

She was the flower doggy in my dear friends wedding.

She’s the reason I met my baby daddy, by tangling her leash in his legs in the stairwell of our apartment building.

She lived a good life, it was heartbreaking to be away from her during her final days but our decade and a half of companionship soothes my aching heart.

Kazuri, her name meaning small and beautiful.
❤️

Three months in Spain 🇪🇸

In April the chiringuitos starting popping up along all the beaches, it’s calm and peaceful down at our nearest spot and starting the mornings off with a coffee and beach play has been 👌

We had a few visitors from back home which was such a treat and so sweet to see little friends reunite 👯

April 23rd was Dia de Sant Jordi in Catalonia, a festival for flowers and books 🌹

There was a nationwide power outage 💡

Took a few day trips into the city to visit the aquarium and the zoo 🐟🦒

Oh and more time at the beach 🏖️
