Anxiety can be a difficult emotion to manage, but it’s important to remember that you are not alone. We have all experienced anxiety to various degrees. It is normal to feel anxious before an important event like a presentation or a first date. However, anxiety that occurs for no apparent reason can be debilitating and affect daily life.
If you frequently experience anxiety and don’t know how to manage these strong feelings, Acupuncture + Somatic therapy can be a great holistic approach to help bring greater harmony and balance into your life.

Yay for being pregnant.
Not so yay for all the fun body changes that can accompany it, hey!
In pregnancy, your progesterone goes way up, which can increase constipation in some women. This can be made worse by more blood flow and nutrients now going to your uterus, rather than your digestive system. Add in nausea and food aversions & you can end up with a ‘pootastrophy!’
