We celebrated Keiko’s 15th birthday. Last Fall

We celebrated Keiko’s 15th birthday. Last Fall the vet gave her a poor prognosis after a medical scare and after #acupuncture and #chinesemedicine she is still here! Some say things like “it’s a just a dog”, but for us it’s much different. Keiko came into our lives after our miscarriage and is part of our family.

She has had quite an adventure in her life and amazes us with her gentle nature. Here are a few examples of her rich life:

* As a pup she was so determined to get to the sand bar to play frisbee that she jumped in the water and swam across the creek like she had swum the English channel many times
* 🏖 She’s been a beach girl her whole life and loved every minute of it
* She was a natural at agility weaving through poles and easily catching frisbees
* She’s also been a city girl, exploring Boston & Montreal
* She’s attended 2 weddings and even crashed a reception tent
* She’s worked her whole life attending commercial real estate meetings and greeting and calming my patients in clinic
* She attended classes at Chinese medical school but got bored with pharmacology 🌿
* She’s a Mainah thru and thru and has explored the coast from Kittery to Bar Harbor
* She hiked one of the Presidentials, Mt. Eisenhower and was the first to the top ⛰
* She was an LL Bean model 🐶
* She’s been to an outdoor concert
* She loves socializing and greeting people passing to the beach and always looking for the next fire pit or driveway drinking at the neighbors
* She has been with us through it all, providing comfort and companionship every step of the way

A dog is not just a dog. A soul is a soul and love is love. ❤️ Thank you to all that have given her love over the years.

Pre-Menstrual Syndrome/Stress Have you got PMS? I

Pre-Menstrual Syndrome/Stress

Have you got PMS? If so, which of these common symptoms do you experience? Do you have any PMS symptoms that aren’t in the post?

Comment below and I will reply with a brief Chinese Traditional Medicine perspective on your symptom! 🧡

Our goal is to have cycles where we reduce PMS symptoms. Less cramps, less mood swings and overall more balance and harmony. Sounds good doesn’t it?

Luckily, there are things in our control that we can do to reduce our PMS. Our lifestyle is a big one! The food we eat, how much sleep we get, the toxins in our products and environment and importantly how we manage stress!

Like and follow me for lifestyle tips and advice to help harmonize your cycle and improve fertility from a Chinese Medicine standpoint.

Legs up the wall! Heard of this before? Have you ever tried this pose during the TWW? How often do you practice yoga during your cycle? Comment below!

Are you in your Luteal Phase of your cycle right now? Like and Save this post to refer back to when you are in your Luteal Phase!

I recommend doing this yoga pose during the second half of your menstrual cycle, after ovulation and before menstruation.

This pose is great for improving blood circulation and from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective it can improve blood stagnation and Kidney Qi Deficiency!

If you are TTC it can help improve blood flow to your uterus, encouraging your uterine lining to be nice and thick, ready to support implantation.

It's also a great de-toxifying pose as it helps to flush toxins through your body and lymph system!

Find a flat surface and hold the pose for up to 20 minutes and stop if you feel uncomfortable. You can use a cushion under your hips or head.
Reach out to a licensed yoga professional for more tips on how to do this specific pose if you are unsure how.

It is too easy to get caught up in the idea that there is something 'wrong' with us. When our bodies aren't doing what we want them to or what we expect them to do, we feel like WE have failed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is just not true. Our bodies are constantly changing, growing and healing. We must not lose love for ourselves or our incredible bodies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is our story. It might not be the one that we thought we'd have, but it's unique to us. It is scary to own our story, when we don't know what the future will bring. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We need to remember that we have the power to write our own story, to take control of the narrative, to be brave and embrace each day as an opportunity to learn about ourselves and to love ourselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comment below, have you struggled to love yourself through this process?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Repeat after me: I am brave. I love truly myself, my mind, my body, my soul. I am open to what the universe has in store for me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy New Year! How are you going to use your energy every day in 2022? Tell us in the comments!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Each day is a chance for us to make the most of the situation that we are currently in, so that we can improve our future situation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your focus is to have a healthy mind and body and to improve your fertility, then your daily energy should be used on fueling your ovaries and eggs and balancing your hormones. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To do this you must prioritize what you put into your body, how you move your body and how you think on a daily basis. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Positive changes need to be made, no matter how small they may be to begin with. There isn't a quick-fix, overnight treatment that will make you more fertile or healthier. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You need to commit to improving your diet, exercise more and exercise right, focus on your mental health and have a solid treatment plan in place that treats the root cause.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You've got this! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instead of trying to mask symptoms and muffle the physical signs that our bodies are trying to give us we need focus on the root causes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The root cause has always been at the core of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The aim is to understand these individual signs and see how they point towards a root cause. Only then, can we begin to truly heal a dysfunction in our Qi, our life force. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many women are tired of feeling like they are not being listened to and that their symptoms are not 'loud' enough to be taken seriously. When in fact, if you look at all of the symptoms and signs from a Chinese Medicine perspective, they begin to relate to each other in various ways and a cause may then be revealed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a powerful ability that shows respect to our bodies. Listen to what your body is trying to tell you and get an opinion from a professional who can decipher what all of those signs point towards, so that you can stop wasting time and get to the ROOT CAUSE!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
