Much like branches emerging from the same tree, acupuncture channels emerge from the deep reservoirs of our bodies. Drawing from that source Qi with Qi Gong or Acupuncture, will replenish the other channels throughout the body. For a deeply nourishing treatment, I am available for house calls in greater Victoria area. ...

I’d like to turn this quote inward for a moment... Self love can be big things, (like a vacation), weekly things (like acu-nap) or simple things. Today my self-love is showing up with presence, my heart on my sleeve and a warm cup of tulsi tea. ... What’s you’re self-care for today? How can your day be beautiful? #selfcare #acupuncture #ilovetea #wellness #yyj #victoriabc #colwoodbc #duncanbc #keepshowingup #traditionalchinesemedicine #selflovequotes #beauty #leotolstoyquote

We love autumn! This year, as we immerse ourselves in the colourful leaves and warm up with a cozy scarf - we have also all come down with a cough. Kong Zui has been the most helpful point for my family and patients so far. With acupuncture, or even for self massage, Kong Zui opens the lungs to stop acute cough and wheezing or asthma. Strengthening the lungs with this point expands the chest, which means the lungs can do their job of descending and dispersing fluids and ...Qi. And when you’re cough is lingering and your lungs are blocked by phlegm a full deep breath feels really good. #acupuncture #acupuncturepoints #autumn #coughing #coughremedy #victoriabccanada #yyjhealthcare #wellnesswednesday #healthforall #traditionalchinesemedicine #duncanbc #colwoodbc #housecalls #asthmarelief #cantstopcoughing #cowichanbay #cowichanbaybc See more

It is true for myself and many of my patients that how we treat ourselves is usually much more rough than we would treat others. This is why I love Mindful Self Compassion work. Wherever you are and whatever you feel, especially when you would rather not be thinking or feeling that way, you can open a door of awareness about that feeling. Then, try some self compassion for the feeling. This may be easier said than done, which is why I teach those patients practical skills... for handling difficult emotions, worries and frustrations. I’m not saying I’m perfect at it, but I am saying these tools show up in everyday life. #mindfulselfcompassion #mindfulness #acupuncture #traditionalchinesemedicine #duncanbccanada #cowichanvalley #victoriabccanada #healthcare #selfcare #selftalkmatters #yyjhealth

Much like branches in the same tree, Acupuncture channels are connected to the deep reservoirs of our bodies. Tapping into that reserve Qi will replenish the other channels throughout the body. And when one of us takes care, that ripples out through our day to touch others in their need for rich self care. ...

In TCM, we talk about your Shen/spirit as the inner light shining out of your eyes. I love treating mental-emotional health with Traditional Chinese Medicine. It’s a major draw for me to bring out the Shen shine in my patients. If your eyes appear dull or tired or glazed over, this tells us your spirit needs attention. ... Your inner light shining outwards tells us about your current state of wellness and your ability to make heart-centred connections.

Even though it added another thing to my list to do yesterday... Even though the errands ran later and dinner was delayed... Even though I’m catching my daughter’s cold... Stopping by the lake to feel engulfed by the beauty of the season and to play with the sticks and sand - was worth it. Well worth it. ... Ok, who am I kidding? It was the best, most present and peaceful part of my day. #victoriabc #colwoodbc #vancouverisland #elklakebc #wellness #healthcareforall #healthcare #parenting #parentinghacks #selfcare #jugglinglife #managingitallwithasmile #momliferocks

This quote always reminds me that Yin and yang are in a dynamic relationship. There’s less emphasis in balance, which can be static and a narrow space between two extremes. I love this quote because to me. it means that we achieve health by flowing with the natural rhythm. Resting on a quiet morning then leads to outdoor active play, which leads to a peaceful picnic lunch then outside again for a run or lunch.... When my day glows like this, it’s amazing how connected and calm I feel, and how well I can support others around me. #radicalselfcare #victoriabc #health #wellness #timeinnature #yingyang #nature #vancouverisland #colwoodbc

I often hear my older patients say they wish they were doing more, as if there was a competition going on for earlier success in life. Or, as if we are meant to get the wisdom that only time and experience can impart on to us. This rose budding in November, reminded me that a late bloomer is still blooming. What a beautiful gift to come in it’s own way, on it’s own time.

Time in nature! With two parents working and a toddler running around, carving out time for a family hike is an act of willpower. Once we’re out though, everything calms down and we merge with the elements. We’re hoping to go out again this weekend and I’d love to hear from you! Where should we hike next?!
