Open your heart is the plate My mom gave me when I first moved back to Canada.
After a long sabbatical and some heartbreak.

I wanted to post it because we’re going into Heart season the summer, in TCM.
🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🤍🤎

Isn’t it interesting that in TCM Chinese medicine that the Summer is the Heart time,
Traditionally the time of year for falling in love, exuberance,expression, bright colors, sunshine all these things describe heart energy.
To have a balanced and functioning, heart in , You want the channels and chest and vessels to be open free of stagnation, stasis or blockage.

So when you’re free to open your heart, you will blow your mind.

My mother gave me this plate when I first moved back to Canada. My heart is broken. My dad was sick and there was a lot weighing on my heart. I don’t know how she’s so good at knowing exactly what to say. I thought it would be a fitting post because we’re going into the summer and the Oregon hard rules this summer. Things that can disturb the heart physically our emotions a good way to ensure your hearts health is to open your mind sharing your feelings does stagnate.

Gold….
Some old school practitioners use different metals for different results.

Gold is used to strengthen what we call tonify in TCM.

How can you tell you need to tonify?
-Are you very tired in the morning? is it hard to get going?
- Is you skin dry, dull and lustreless?
-do you have a hard time digesting?
It’s possible you need a

With gratitude……
As a person of mixed heritage my ancestors, freed slaves, were taught by the Algonquin, Mississauga, Ojibway, Cree, Odawa, Pottowatomi, Delaware, and the Haudenosaunee Mohawk, Onondaga, Onoyota'a:ka, Cayuga, Tuscarora, and Seneca People.
We were able to live and thrive in this new land because with open hands they welcomed us.
We began a new history by merging our tribes.

Thank you 🙏🏽 for teaching us to take care and support the land in a harmonious way.

Thank you for embracing us even though we were different

So you know you are have a great weekend it’s hot outside so you decide………….
I’m going for a bike ride and then I’m gonna do some great workouts outside and you’re feeling really good and then………ooopppss

You step wrongly on some thing and you fall and hurt your knee what do you do?

icing. It is is not a good idea. There’s many new studies that have shown a slower recovery.
an increase in inflammation and restriction of blood supply.
It’s definitely not something we do in Chinese medicine.
What should you do?
Every body is different so text or call your acupuncturist or local Physiotherapist most will give you a quick phone call advice.

What did I do?
I immediately raised my leg and put some silicone cups in the area to reduce inflammation I called my Physiotherapist for an action plan.
And as soon as I could put my Infrared on it.

feels good today !!

Google search will not help you because everybody and every situation is different ask the professionals and have a safe summer.

Hello my beauties,
I get a facial all the time so know I definitely think it’s worth it.

But the two are not the same.
Some aesthetician’s can massage your face for a longer lasting effect.

Cosmetic Acupuncture literally stimulates the immunity to heal what’s causing the issue in and on your skin.

So what’s the take away?

Choose a facial for what they do best clear the pore and remove buildup.
Choose Cosmetic for everything else.
-fine line wrinkles
-stimulating collagen and elastin
-preventing wrinkles acne and redness

TENS/ ELECTRO STIM Acu

-small electrical impulses through pads stimulate the nervous system, reducing its ability to transmit pain signals to the spinal cord and brain.

-this stimulates the body to produce natural pain relievers called endorphins.

-endorphins are released naturally in your brain after: a massage , exercise, s*x and food.

This treatment has been used to help with:
-period pain
-labor pain
-joint pain
-neck and back pain
&

The following conditions:

-endometriosis
-arthritis
-sports injuries
-multiple sclerosis
-fibromyalgia

Acupuncture versus acupressure

Both come from the same place, and if you were to come to a treatment with me, I won’t just put needles in your skin.
I’ll also give you an acupressure massage, most likely in the place where you’re feeling pain or to help you relax.

I also use Gua sha on the body and cupping to stimulate and further strengthen the outcome of your treatment.

Please always ask your specialist or therapist to tell you what they’re certified in or their specialty, because not all practitioners are the same.

📍 is not recognized by the world health organization as a medical modality while acupuncture is.

📍Acupressure is similar to a deep pressure massage and you can only bill insurance if that practitioner is licensed as an acupuncturist or as a massage therapist.

📍If the practitioner is properly trained and has experience with acupressure, you can get great results, so give it a try, especially if needles are intimidating for you.

There are many modalities and techniques that your acupuncturist can offer if you are intimidated by needles so ask them I’m sure they want to help .

Dm me if you have any questions. 😁

Tinnitus = Ear ringing .

This time of year it can get bad for me. Maybe it’s all of the wind blowing or taxes in the air.

Acupuncture helps to stop the ringing and prevent it from getting worse.

Why does it happen?

In TCM traditionally, it happens more during the windy season it can be caused by wind getting “trapped“ in your ear
Or
As we age some organs just need more support eyes and ears go first.

Stress can force you Qi to go in the wrong direction like a pot boiling over.


Give it a try Gua sha here to help.

Right now I’m learning

This is a great way to relieve your nerves that can get stirred up in the spring, and cool you down in the summer.

Just a little information for all those first time people receiving acupuncture.

We are regulated by an association that ensures for public safety.

We pay them yearly just like doctors and nurses to protect you.
Some of our requirements are;
Safety & cleanliness & CEU ‘S continuing your education to better serve the public.

Most acupuncturist will share with you when they’re learning new things.
You could always ask them if they have any certifications or specialized fields. That’s not rude. 😄
Your healthcare is our primary focus 👍🏽
For me last year was cosmetic certifications primarily for me as I’m always trying to learn better cosmetic techniques, and I will be attending a conference in May for more knowledge for you.
I am also Certified in NADA DETOX a method for PTSD and addiction treatment and prevention.

Fascia has become so interesting to me and its mechanisms and how acupuncture can help relieve the pressure, reduce inflammation and scar tissue, to take you out of pain.

DM me for any questions.

The term 'the shadow' was made popular by psychoanalyst Carl Jung.

He believed that we all have a shadow self. It is generally made up of the parts of ourselves we deem unacceptable.
The other side to our humanity our sadness, rage, laziness, and cruelty.
To name a few……

The shadow can keep you safe but also tear you down.
Don’t listen it’s just a walk or a dress or a night out.
Whatever it is you are trying to talk yourself out of even though it’s not bad for you and it doesn’t hurt anybody, DONT LISTEN
it’s your fear trying to hold you back.
I’ve been experiencing a lot of that…. lately.
I thought I’d share to see if anybody else was as well.
what’s your Shadowside say to you?

Spring is coming.
These snow drops are always a good sign.
This is a great time of year to begin a liver cleanse.
Every body is different but some clear signs that you need a cleanse are:

-Itchy skin or recent eczema or psoriasis flare ups.
-sneezing or runny noses.
-feeling recently easily angered or stressed
-pain or stiffness in the area right below your chest.
DM me for a suggestion on what is a good liver cleanse for you!

It’s easy to hide when you are not the “normal” look, size or colour.
It is a little like hiding or more honestly it is being ignored.

I am 40 so this New World order of “woke” society, where I am accepted and becoming recognized it’s now hard to be dismissed.

So I thought I would do the complete opposite of what I have done before and what society expects of me.

40 no children, car or house.
And
I have lived in 3 Provinces and 4 States
Travelled alone to 4 Continents
Own my own Business & have a great partner and kitty. For this I am grateful

And

Now I am ready to build some real foundations.

Hello my beauties 😊🧡
I just wanted to share with you the “needles” I use on your face and body.

I spend a little extra money and I get needles that have a silicone coating so even less of a prick for my clients.

It is somewhat hard to see, but that small one to the left next to my hair is the cosmetic needles, and then I interchange amongst the ones on the right in the body.
Cosmetic needles are really not much thicker than my thin hair. I always explain to my clients that a needle is hollow
like the one you can get when you go to the hospital with IVs and donating blood that’s why they’re painful.

Acupuncture needles are more like pins so you might feel a slight prick or pinch but most the time you don’t feel anything at all !!!!
and
if you do feel something, we finally have stimulated your Qi and so that’s a different feeling all together.

More on that soon

So you might notice they have a lot in common!
Both of these oils are vegan, so are an excellent sustainable source of moisture for ageing skin.
Both will prevent against sun damage and Inflammation.
Squalane is far more gentle and in my opinion better if you have sensitive skin.
And
Rosehip oil definitely has many more properties including reducing hyperpigmentation so get more out your oils.

Why I use OM products. .organics.skincare
Licorice is used in TCM to help the digestion. Digestion is important for skin health it keeps down the congestion, inflammation and keeps your skin looking bright and fresh.
So I used this product for fine blackheads and pimples found on the chin and jaw.

Om products also practice the same techniques that’s why I use them on my clients.

After I let the light in and say a little gratitude prayer for all that I am thankful for.

I then squeeze fresh lemon into my room temperature water and drink down the whole 16 oz glass.

Why Lemon 🍋?
I am cleansing my Liver to get ready for spring. I like to do a gentle cleanse as I have a sensitive digestion system.

Lemon is sour and stimulates the Liver it has a cooling affect and can have a “happy” affect to soothe any feelings of frustration or anger which is normal this time of year.

Why do I mist your face after I take the needle out? And before I apply any serums or creams.

The practice of spraying thermal water on one’s skin likely comes from an ancient Greek tradition called balneotherapy, or bathing in mineral water baths as a dermatologic treatment.
There is a study by a group of German researchers at Goethe University in Frankfurt that found spa waters can help in the treatment of chronic inflammatory skin diseases, but it called for further study.
And
I have found great benefits and so have my clients.

The product in the picture is one that I will use for “normal”, very dry skin, and ageing skin.
I’ve made ones with sage for clarifying and redness, and one with white birch for acne prone skin, before I apply any serums or creams.
(Do not use white birch at home)
Give it a try. It’s a good way to boost your skin care system. It is a great extra that I offered here at Purefacelift.

Here at Purefacelift my facials are a little bit different.
We give out clients a little more.
Infrared is an add on that we offer.

With a professional grade machine you have choices of the colour therapy.

❤️RED: Studies have shown it reduces fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to this, the body produces more collagen and elastin equating to healthier and younger looking skin. It can also improve overall facial texture and reduce scarring.

💙BLUE: Is for anti-acne primarily. It kills the bacteria that causes acne. It's also been shown to help with those who have psoriasis and reduce damage caused by the sun.

🧡ORANGE/AMBER: Is used for firming up the skin, reducing dullness and dark spots.

🤍WHITE: Is used for accelerating skin metabolism and firming up the skin. It also has many of the same benefits of red such as reducing fine lines, reducing wrinkles and inflammation.

What an Acupuncturist does when they are sick?
Firstly we determine what “kind” of sick we are
Wind cold , wind heat, wind water etc………..

This morning I woke up with a cough and fever, runny nose hot in my body and a slight headache.
So I will drink tonnes of water, tea made with lemon and peppermint.
&
Gua sha the back of my neck and forearms from the outside crease and down to between my thumb and pointer finger. Just until red.

I can self diagnose because of my education of over 10 years practicing.

Please 🙏🏽 don’t do this yourself
There are many Tic tockers and influencers that say drink ginger but that isn’t a catch all it could make things worse.
And just because it is natural doesn’t mean it can’t hurt you.

When do I use Gua Sha ? pretty much on all faces. I definitely would avoid acne or lots of breakouts because it could be painful and make the infection worse

There are many different sequences that you can follow, but always make sure that :
The skin and tool are clean
You have a nice layer of face oil on your face
That you are not pulling but gliding over the skin
You are gentle around the eyes
And
Always start at the collar bone and neck.

Acupuncture is not a replacement for Botox.
Cosmetic Acupuncture is a safe method to age with grace, with long lasting affects.

Botox is a necessary prescription for migraines and TMJ and will reduce wrinkles dramatically, instantly & temporarily.

If you are pregnant I suggest body acupuncture to support the skin and Gua sha & Cupping treatment especially in your first trimester.
&
Just to be clear the age that I suggest to get started with Cosmetic Acu is 30 for preventative purposes.

I 🧡 Tkaronto but to relieve stress a simple plan could be to get out of the city.
A Stanford study in 2015 shows
that walking in nature yields measurable mental benefits and may reduce risk of depression.

Another study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, found that people who walked for 90 minutes in a natural area, as opposed to participants who walked in a high-traffic urban setting, showed decreased activity in a region of the brain associated with a key factor in depression.

This time of year it is especially important to take care of your mental health.
I suggest the Don Valley Nature in the Heart of the city.

I had a question yesterday.
When do I use the facial brush?

Generally, when the skin is dry and puffy, with the moisture barrier, looking a little damaged or requiring support.

How do you know you have skin like that?
Do you need a lot of moisturizer for your skin?
Do you feel that it is always dry and flaky?
Do you have a puffy face, or a puffy under the eyes?

Then the facial brush is right for you.
At

Do you feel at ease in the morning ?
Or
Anxiety, Pressure and/or Stress
Could it be your Yang energy is depleted?
Or
In need of stimulation

In TCM in the morning and we try to take 5 or 10 minutes to do some deep breathing or Qi Gong work.
This is to calmly move your body in a strategic way to focus your mind and raise your Yang Qi.
Acupuncture can help you center your thoughts before work as well.

I’ve been seeing a lot of comments about body size and what is s*xy.
And
I wanted to comment on it because I’ve been a plus size, big woman, Amazon Queen, curvy etc since I was young.
I’ve had to live in this body and figure out how to be proud of it without looking at magazines and TV and society for validation.

That’s why I 🧡 working at .
when hiring me, there was no need to be assured of my health levels because of the way I look, or my abilities.

But I promise you I have been judged based on those factors; like the size of my thigh, or the roundness of my belly.

In TCM I am an earth body and I have a place in this world and so do you. That’s what it means to be body inclusive, medicine that doesn’t judge the look of your body, but yet the function.
