Acupuncture for Fertility, Pregnancy, Women’s Health and Wellness in Oakland, CA

Well, I’ve been back since April 22nd, but I came back to a fully booked clinic and the kind of jet lag that makes you question what time zone your brain is in. The words and the reels just had to wait.

10 days in Hangzhou, China. The most beautiful, humbling, and expansive continuing education experience of my career.

I came home with 50 CEUs, more tea than I can reasonably drink, and something that is harder to quantify, a relationship with this medicine that feels fundamentally different than it did before.

Over the next several weeks, I am sharing everything: the clinics, the doctors, the herbs at the source, the food, the morning Qi Gong. The medicine practiced the way it was meant to be practiced.

And in honor of AAPI Heritage Month, I cannot think of a better time to talk about a healing tradition that has sustained communities across Asia for thousands of years, and I know have had the profound honor of studying again at its source.

Stay tuned.

Fertility is often reduced to timing, but there is so much more beneath the surface.
ㅤ
In Chinese Medicine, we look at the full picture. Supporting qi, blood, yin, and jing helps create the internal conditions needed for reproductive health.
ㅤ
Even during times when routines shift or things feel uncertain, small, consistent support can still make a difference.
ㅤ
You don’t have to figure it out on your own. Thoughtful, individualized care can help you move forward in a way that feels grounded and supported.
If you’re ready to explore what that could look like, we’re here to help.

Today is the day. I leave for China in a few hours. 🌏

Before I go, I want to tell you a little about where I'm headed because Hangzhou is not just a beautiful destination. It is one of the great centers of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

We are staying in Longjing Tea Village surrounded by tea farms that have been cultivated for centuries. Longjing green tea is one of TCM's oldest medicines: it clears heat, supports digestion, sharpens the mind. We are literally living inside one of its oldest remedies for 10 days.

We will also have clinical hours at Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, one of China's leading TCM institutions, learning from doctors who practice this medicine not as an alternative but as the standard of care.

Before I board: I want to ask you something. What do you want me to bring back?

Not literally, though I will definitely be bringing tea 🍵

See you from Hangzhou 🌿

Something I think about a lot: the best practitioners never stop being students. 🌿

Traditional Chinese Medicine is a 3,000-year-old system of medicine. And it is still evolving through research, through clinical experience, through going back to the source.

Every time I invest in my education, you benefit. Updated protocols, deeper herbal knowledge, fresh clinical perspectives, new ways of seeing patterns I've treated for years.

This week I have something exciting to share. This Thursday I am traveling to Hangzhou, China for a 10-day TCM clinical training and retreat, and I cannot wait to take you along.

More details this week. For now, swipe through for my thoughts on why continuing education in TCM is not just a checkbox. It's a commitment to the medicine and to you. 💚
