My wish for you this week. Please cut yourself some slack. Please stop downplaying what you’re going through. Transitions are tough, moving is tough, death is tough, marriage is tough, divorce is tough, starting a family is tough, facing chronic pain and disease is tough... You probably have a lot on your plate on top of this. Please give yourself time, space, what you need. Let go of guilt. You’re doing the best you can, and that’s enough. You are enough.

Spring has finally sprung! Chinese Medicine has long recognized the impact of the seasons on the human body. Look to nature and you’ll see just about every other animal adapting and changing with the seasons, as well. And Western Medicine has finally caught up! Research now shows that gene expression changes throughout the year with the seasons. How are you changing this season? ❄️🌱☀️🍂

A rare sighting of me! Your friendly acupuncturist here, serving the greater Newburyport community :) Doing all things with love here in the office today 💗💗 Including tons of acupuncture! P.S. Who else loves all of the Spiritual Gangster gear at Meraki in downtown Newburyport?? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️Thanks Meraki, for my favorite tank!

In pain? I love these magical pain patches (and my acupuncture patients do, too!)! And by magical, I mean they reduce inflammation, increase circulation, emit a therapeutic Far infrared frequency, and open up your pores so you can soak up those amazing Chinese herbs 🌿 🌿 Available at North Shore Acupuncture & Wellness, located at 65 Newburyport Turnpike in Newbury, MA.
