You may have seen “for sale” signs on our current building. That’s because…
Our clinic is moving this July!
Don’t worry, we’re headed just across the street to 921 East Main 🏡
We are so excited to share our new space. Stay tuned for more updates!

Spring is just around the corner! 🌼

Adapting our lifestyle to match the seasons is one of the best ways to maintain good health and helps our bodies adapt to the changing environment around us.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Spring correlates to the Wood element, and the Liver/Gallbladder organ system, which plays a big role in the circulation of Qi (energy) and blood, as well as digestion.
The Liver ensures the smooth flow of Qi and Blood around the body. It assists in digestion, stores blood, and helps us to process emotions. Stress and a sedentary lifestyle can disrupt this smooth flow and create stagnant energy, which can manifest as headaches, IBS, or mood swings. Spring is a great time to get moving after a restful winter and get the juices flowing.

This is a great time to start exercising more, but not over-doing it! The days can still be quite chilly so keep warm and stay hydrated when you’re out and about. With the renewed energy we have after the long dark winter, we can start new projects, especially creative ones. The great outdoors, ‘forest-bathing’, and gardening can all benefit the Liver system and prevent issues caused by Liver Qi stagnation.
