😴 Are you exhausted but unable to sleep?

After spending the weekend at a perinatal healthcare conference, one theme kept showing up again and again:

The nervous system affects everything.

Sleep.
Hormones.
Mood.
Healing.
Pain.
Stress.

In Chinese medicine, we say the Heart houses the Shen—the part of us associated with mental calm, emotional balance, and restful sleep.

When the Shen is unsettled, you may notice:

✨ Racing thoughts
✨ Difficulty falling asleep
✨ Waking during the night
✨ Anxiety
✨ Feeling "wired but tired"

One of my favorite reminders:

💚 If your mind won't turn off, your body needs support.

Sometimes the answer isn't trying harder.

Sometimes the answer is creating the conditions for your nervous system to settle.

Acupuncture can help regulate the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and support a greater sense of calm.

☀️ Back from San Diego and feeling inspired.

Last weekend I attended Dr. Deb Davies' Perinatal Conference, and I came home with pages of notes, new ideas, and a deeper appreciation for how connected our health really is.

Over two days we explored:

🌿 Herbal medicine in pregnancy
🌿 Postpartum care
🌿 Pelvic floor health
🌿 Midwifery collaboration
🌿 Qi Gong and nervous system regulation
🌿 External herbal therapies
🌿 Holistic approaches to healthcare

One thing that kept coming up throughout the conference was this:

Healing happens best when the whole person is supported.

Sleep matters.
Stress matters.
Movement matters.
Connection matters.

Whether someone is trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, recovering postpartum, managing chronic pain, or struggling with anxiety and insomnia, these pieces are all connected.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to continue learning and growing as a practitioner, and I'm excited to bring these insights back to my patients in Evanston.

Thank you to everyone who trusts me with their care. 💚

🔥 OPEN THE HEART WITHOUT BURNING OUT 🔥

Summer is one of my favorite seasons.

Longer days.
More sunshine.
More time with friends and family.
More opportunities to get outside and enjoy life.

But every year around this time, I see something else happening too.

People start feeling exhausted.

Not because they're doing anything wrong, but because they mistake having more energy for having more capacity.

In Chinese medicine, we're moving from the Wood energy of spring into the Fire energy of summer. Fire is associated with the Heart, joy, connection, and vitality.

When Fire is balanced, we feel inspired and connected.

When Fire gets excessive, we may experience:

✨ Difficulty sleeping
✨ Restlessness
✨ Anxiety
✨ Feeling "wired but tired"
✨ Emotional overwhelm

This week, try giving yourself permission to slow down before bed.

Put away your phone.
Dim the lights.
Take a few deep breaths.

Your nervous system needs recovery just as much as it needs activity.

💚 June Special:
$15 off follow-up acupuncture sessions
(limit 2 per patient)

I also have openings available this week and next week before I head to California for advanced perinatal training.

This weekend I'm heading to San Diego for a perinatal acupuncture conference with one of my favorite teachers and mentors, Dr. Deb Davies.

One of the things I love about acupuncture is that there is always more to learn. Even after years in practice, I continue to seek out opportunities to deepen my understanding of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum care, women's health, and integrative medicine.

I'm especially excited to spend a few days learning alongside colleagues from around the country who are passionate about supporting families through some of life's most important transitions.

Continuing education isn't just about earning credits. It's about bringing fresh ideas, new tools, and better care back to the people who trust me with their health.

I'm grateful to my patients for making it possible for me to continue growing as a practitioner, and I'm looking forward to bringing what I learn back to Evanston.

If you're attending the conference, I'd love to connect!

☀️ San Diego, here I come.
💚 Lifelong learning is one of the greatest gifts of this profession.

Happy Mother’s Day 💚

Today can hold so many different emotions.

Love. Gratitude. Exhaustion. Longing. Grief. Joy. Relief. Hope.

Sending love today to:
• mothers
• future mothers
• people trying to conceive
• stepmothers
• foster mothers
• chosen mothers
• pet parents
• caregivers
• people mothering communities
• people grieving mothers
• people with complicated relationships to motherhood
• and anyone quietly carrying tenderness for others

So much of caregiving happens invisibly.

As an acupuncturist, I see every day how much people carry in their bodies while continuing to show up for everyone else.

May today include at least one moment where you feel cared for too.

And if your nervous system, hormones, stress levels, sleep, cycle, pain, or fertility journey could use support, I’m here. 💚

Spring detox is everywhere right now…
but let’s talk about it.

A lot of what we’re told sounds like:
restrict more
push harder
clean yourself out

And honestly… that’s not how the body works.

In Chinese medicine, spring is connected to the Liver.
Yes, it helps process and move things through.
But it doesn’t respond well to force.

It responds to support.

Aggressive cleanses can leave you:
• more tired
• more anxious
• more depleted

That said… some gentle detox support can help.

The difference?
Not punishment.
Not extremes.
Just supporting what your body is already trying to do.

Think:
🥣 warm, simple meals
🥬 cooked greens
🚶‍♀️ a short walk after eating
🌀 gentle movement

If you’re trying to conceive or are pregnant, this matters even more.

This is not the time to clear out.
This is the time to nourish, build, and support.

If your body has been feeling stuck, tense, or off this spring, acupuncture can help bring things back into balance in a way that actually feels good.

You don’t need to be calmer.

You need things to move.

This is something I say a lot in clinic, especially this time of year.

When Qi gets stuck, you might feel:
• Tension in your body
• Irritation you can’t quite explain
• Digestive shifts tied to stress
• That “on edge” feeling all day

Trying to force calm on top of that usually doesn’t work.

Movement does.

Sometimes that’s:
• Acupuncture
• Sometimes cupping or gua sha
• Sometimes the right herbal formula (prescribed, not guessed)
• Sometimes it’s as simple as walking… without your phone

If you’ve been trying to push through it alone, you don’t have to.

Spring is not gentle.

In Chinese medicine, spring is about movement.

And when things start moving after being stuck all winter, it can feel like:
• Irritability
• PMS flaring
• Waking up at 3am
• Feeling overwhelmed by small decisions

Nothing is wrong with you.

This is often Liver Qi stagnation. Things are trying to move.

And what your body needs isn’t more suppression.

It needs support to move.

Acupuncture, bodywork, and the right herbal support can help regulate this so you don’t feel stuck in it.

And just to say:
Herbs, cupping, and gua sha are powerful tools, but they’re not DIY trends. They work best when they’re tailored to you.

🌍 World Health Day

Health isn’t just about what’s happening inside your body.

It’s also about:
• The stress you’re carrying
• The world you’re living in
• The support you do or don’t have

I see this every day in clinic.

People come in with pain, hormone shifts, sleep issues, fertility concerns.
And underneath it, there’s often a nervous system that’s been holding a lot for a long time.

Acupuncture is one way to support your body in processing that.

Not by forcing it to “calm down”
But by helping things regulate and move again.

If your body has been asking for support, this is your reminder to listen 💚

In East Asian medicine, we say:

“The Liver stores the Blood.”

This is especially important for fertility.

Healthy Blood supports:
→ A strong uterine lining
→ Nourished follicles
→ Regular cycles

But here is something many people don’t hear:

You can have enough Blood…
and still feel off if it is not moving well.

That is where Liver Qi comes in.

When Qi flows, Blood follows.

When it doesn’t:
• Cycles can become irregular
• PMS can increase
• The body can feel stuck

This is why I love working with patients in early spring 🌿

The body is ready to shift.

💚 If you are preparing for pregnancy, in the middle of your journey, or just want to feel more at home in your body, I would love to support you.
