The wound is the place where Light enters you. -Rumi

Hello dear friends,

I took this photo last night as I hiked the ridge behind my house to soak in the power of the Pink Full Moon.  I really needed the reminder that nature is still providing us such grace, solace and stability in an uncertain world.  I know many of you are frustrated, scared, anxious and simply sick and tired of being trapped in your homes.  Some have lost loved ones, healthcare workers are risking their lives going to work, and small businesses, families and people worldwide are hurting and in pain. My heart and prayers go out daily to everyone suffering from loss and fear right now, personal or financial. 

Yet even within the despair, can you see beauty and be proud and in awe of yourself, your family and your communities? 

The social distancing and safety measures we are taking are working here in the Bay Area and beyond. We are flattening the curve and showing the true power of the collective and what it means when a species comes together with a simple goal in mind… to help each other survive. I offer instead of focusing on that person you saw not wearing a mask today or rather than researching new virus cases and fatalities, can you devote more hours daily online and outdoors looking for what people around you are doing in love and in service? 

There are so many positive stories surrounding us and if you are spending more quality time with loved ones and with yourself, sleeping, making love, art or music, walking in nature, and digging deeper into hidden areas rarely discovered during a typical busy schedule, I trust you are finding some peace, expansion and awareness within an unsettled situation.  I am personally keeping a daily gratitude journal of something I’ve done each day that I would not have normally had the time or space to experience- like practicing the guitar, enjoying food my daughters are cooking, watching a great movie, or just sleeping that extra hour.

I would love to hear what each of you are doing during this time to keep your hearts and minds healthy.

If you are struggling, I want to help you.

Many of you come for regular acupuncture to treat dis-ease in your body and mind and have experienced the power of your internal energy systems, your life-force, or “Qi”, and what happens when energy moves.   I have never thought of myself as a “magical healer” but rather an energy facilitator – a wellness advisor and educator – someone here to help nudge your body to heal itself, as I believe the body always has the internal wisdom to do so when you remove blocks and allow your life force to flow freely.  

Acupuncture is an energetic reboot with needles, but you each have power within you to shift your own energy.   This can be done through movement, thought, breath, acupressure, diet, sleep, and many other lifestyle changes you bring into your daily routine.  Your self-care is the magic and the healing.

If you have physical pain, depression, anxiety and worry, now is the time to start creating new habits and awareness that will invite more calm and ease into your body.  You are the healer now. I’d be honored to help you discover what you need most right now to heal your pain and create more calm inside, holistically and for the long-term.

To facilitate your wellness remotely in the comfort of your own home, I am now offering TeleHealth Consults. Patients doing remote consults with me are experiencing big shifts, commenting on “new awareness and perspective,” “increased energy” and “motivation to expand,” with accountability and encouragement to make these changes. Some have moved from “feeling trapped in my head with anxiety” to “feeling more alive in my body.”

In a Zoom or Facetime self-healing TeleHealth Consult you will receive:

• Daily breath-work practices to raise your energy vibration and move from Fear to Hope at any time during your day
• Acupressure point tapping to shift physical and mental energy blocks throughout your body

• Individual plans for meditation and movement – homework for your unique constitution. From simple to more advanced, you can start anywhere you are right now
• Discounted herbal products for immunity, calm and sleep, shipped direct to your home.
• Free & discounted online resources for exercise, healthcare and personal development, personally vetted as my favorite programs that create real results
• Answers to your specific challenges surrounding self-care and healing pain naturally

*Satisfaction Guarantee– if you don’t feel the TeleHealth Consult met your needs or expectations, you can use as credit toward an in-person acupuncture treatment when the clinic re-opens after Shelter in Place lifts.

If you are an established patient, tele-consults can be coded for insurance purposes.

I hope to hear from you, so please reply to me and let me know if you are interested in consults, have questions, need to order herbal products for pick up or delivery, or wish to schedule online.   I would also truly appreciate you sharing this offering with a friend or family member, or my recent video and blog with suggestions on Boosting Immunity and Resilience in Crisis.

Or if you just need to tune into some beautiful music for sound healing, listen to some Joy.

You’re not in this alone.   We all need new and improved tools for new realities. Reach out.

Love, healing, blessings,

Amie
