Control. Who has it? Sometimes our health feels out of our control. We put our physicians on pedestals and expect them to have all of the right answers. I had my annual physical this week. To put it lightly, it did not go well. I walked away feeling frustrated, confused, and definitely not cared for. The worst was one particular piece of 'advice' that went against so many things that I believe and understand about the body, from both Eastern and Western medical perspectives

I’m usually in the office on Saturdays. But today was set aside for some self-care! For me that means coffee with my husband, time in the garden, acupuncture with Holly Pelletier, and now a visit with an old friend. What are you doing to take care of yourself on this #selfcaresaturday? #peoniesfordays #acupuncture

So lucky to have these views just steps from the office! Did you know that there are trails on beautiful Deer Island between the Chain and Hines bridges? New adventures every day! #getoutside#amesbury #merrimackriver
