Modality Highlight Series: putting Feng Shui in the (strategically-placed) spotlight
If this isn’t the first time you’ve landed on one of my blog posts you’ve probably noticed the cornerstone of my healing ethos: There is no ONE healing practice that works for all of the people, all of the time. As I’ve said before, many times, healing is...
You are more powerful than you imagine
You are more powerful than you know. More powerful than you could ever imagine. I know it doesn’t always feel that way. After all, you’ve been systematically made to feel powerless your whole life. Why? Because when people feel powerless they’re easier to sell...
Essential oils: the underrated heroes of the healing world?
Scents are powerful. So powerful the vaguest waft of a familiar perfume can transport you to a far-away time and place. So powerful that a home-baked loaf of bread can sell a house. So powerful that the enticing smell of a freshly brewed pot of coffee can make you...
Why there’s no one path to healing…and that’s actually a Good Thing.
It’s the Holy Grail of the 21st century: finding the ONE thing that’s going to make you feel amazing. And we’re all searching for it in one way or another. You might be on a quest for the one diet that’ll give you boundless energy, glowing skin, and help you...
Modality Highlight Series: is acupuncture the right place to start your healing journey?
As you know, when it comes to healing, I’m a firm believer that there’s no one-size-fits-all. No One Thing that’ll help all of the people all of the time. Healing has to be multi-faceted because we are multi-faceted. Which is why I offer an ever-increasing range of...

The how YOU heal Manifesto: 8 Things I Know About Healing
The year I turned 28 was also the year I almost didn’t turn 29. I was diagnosed with a mystery blood disorder — idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, which literally means, “we have no idea what’s causing it, but there’s something way wrong with your platelets” — and...
The Way Out
The reasons for choosing the COVID-19 vaccine may include personal reasons, including specific health conditions that may give you pause. Honestly, when I hear from some that say it’s solely a personal choice, I cringe. There is no individual health without public...
Winter: You Be The Light
Winter is the time in our lives that gives us the chance to focus on our internal lives. This change of season is a gift to resume cultivating all the things we say we want which ultimately are found internally and not externally. In medical Zhineng qigong, we are on...
It’s a First: Video blog!
I’m back in the office. It’s been great having my patients returning to my space. And, I’m looking forward to seeing you! Yes, you. You who might be hesitant to to come in. It’s been a long, scary year. Let me assure you that COVID 19 processes are in place to make...
