It's Time!

I have been practicing Chinese Medicine and providing Wellness Services for more than 7 years. I have been fortunate enough to have amazing clients who love to share their experiences with Respira AcuWellness. This has allowed me to be kind of incognito when it came to marketing. I created this blog once I stared my practice and haven't really touched it since business picked up. I have had many patients wonder about my online presence (they are more hip that I). I have liked being under the radar, but alas, after having my three kiddos and starting back to work, I realize that it is important that RAW ACU is online.  I am still only part-time as I continue to spend time at home raising our incredible kids. I am, however, playing with different days and times that services will be offered. I am fortunate to have two of the best jobs in the world, Stay-at-home Momma and Chinese Medicine Practitioner. I am very excited about what the future holds. Stay tuned!

ACUPOINT of the WEEK!

Large Intestine 4 -“He Gu” means Joining Valley.
Make the letter L with your 1st finger and thumb. This point is on the top of the hand and in middle of the web that is formed. Use the thumb and forefinger of the opposite hand, search for the tender part and hold for several seconds. This point is one of the most famous and commonly used acupoints. It is great for headache, flu, pain, digestive issues, facial disorders, and weakness.

I interned with a Chinese Doctor in Beijing where women were successfully losing weight and I saw first hand how acupuncture can not only help metabolism but overall health. I also have techniques to help remove thought patterns that block weight loss. Send me an email if you have any questions about weight loss and acupuncture, respiraacuwellness@gmail.com.

What is Acupuncture?

The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up in others. The meridians can be influenced by needling the acupuncture points; the acupuncture needles unblock the obstructions at the dams, and reestablish the regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities, and in the circulation of their energy through the meridians. The improved energy and biochemical balance produced by acupuncture results in stimulating the body's natural healing abilities, and in promoting physical and emotional well-being.

What Does Acupuncture Treat?

According to the World Health Organization, Acupuncture treats more than 68 conditions including pain, digestive issues, depression, and allergies, http://www.acupuncturetoday.com/archives2004/oct/10amaro.html. So if you have a specific condition or just want wellness support, regular treatments are recommended. Your body is unique and will be different every time. For optimal results it is recommended to get a treatment once or twice a week. This will keep your energy flowing, stress level down and immune system strong. For great results once every two to three weeks and for a general tune-up, once a month. Ultimately, your body will let you know what frequency works best for you. Give your body a chance to experience a few sessions before assessing if regular treatments would be beneficial for you.

What is Reconnective Healing?

What is Reconnective Healing? Reconnective Healing is a form of healing that reconnects us to the fullness of the universe as it reconnects us to the fullness of our beings and of who we are. It is considered to be able to reconnect us to the universe and to our very essence not just through a new set of healing frequencies, but through possibly an entirely new bandwidth. The reality of its existence has demonstrated itself clearly in practice as well as in science laboratories.

I did my training with Dr. Eric Pearl and am certified in all levels (I, II and III)

I did a radio interview talking about Reconnective Healing. It starts about 30min into the interview. Enjoy!
