Finding Balance: How Acupuncture Eases the Side Effects of Cancer Treatment
When someone receives a cancer diagnosis, it can feel like the world has tilted on its axis. The whirlwind of medical appointments, chemotherapy sessions, and the relentless tide of side effects can leave patients drained. Nausea, fatigue, and neuropathy can cloud the difficult days of treatment, making each step forward feel heavier than the last. Many oncologists are becoming wise to how acupuncture can offer patients a glimmer of relief to the side effects of cancer treatments.
Acupuncture, an ancient practice rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to restore balance and promote healing. For cancer patients, this practice has emerged as a beacon of hope, offering relief from the taxing side effects of rigorous treatments. continue reading
Your Body is the Oracle
There is a pattern, an order, in human bodies…
When the body gets working appropriately,
the force of gravity can flow through.
Then spontaneously, the body heals itself.
— Ida P. Rolf
Greetings to all my precious people!
The world continues to shape-shift as the chaos of rebirth and renewal unfolds. While so much of life is happening outside of us—outside our bodies, outside our control, outside our cities and countries—there is one constant truth we can rely on. We are in our bodies. We are going about our day to day lives in the original house of our birth—a body so miraculous and mysterious that we many times take it for granted. continue reading
The Recalibration Pivot
Awaken, and sleep no more—
Brief are the days of life.

Greetings to all my precious people!!
Mars, the warrior planet, has been absolutely shaking things up lately, and while the chaos might feel destabilizing, it is nonetheless necessary. From now until late May, please examine all that is important to you and assess what has been on the back-burner waiting for the “right” time. There are no perfect moments, no better options—there is only the here and now. So make a point of either taking a stand or instigating a movement about things that really matter to you. continue reading
The Science Behind Acupuncture and ADHD

The Sacred Presence
“We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”
~~ Robert Frost
Greetings to all my precious people!!
April has finally arrived, announcing the season of Spring in all her magnificent glory! The budding trees, colorful crocuses, happy daffodils, fragrant hyacinth, and bursting yellow forsythia petals are part of the ancient cycle of Nature in rebirth. The potent incubation of Winter supported this unfolding celebration of renewal and exuberance. Can you feel the vibrations of new life surrounding you? Breathe in the sweetness, listen to the birdsongs, feel the warmth of the sun on your body. We, too, are part of the rebirth that is happening all around us. But nothing is clear nor settled right now. Instead, the shroud of post-eclipse dust lingers. And we are in the midst of a particularly shadowy recalibration. continue reading
