Renewal: A Traditional Chinese Medicine Spring Reset
Runs from April 26th -May 10th
Are you feeling tired, run down, and physically/emotionally stuck after many months of cold weather?
Are you ready to shake off the stagnation of winter and feel clearer and brighter and more energized?
WHY DO A RESET?
Many of us greet the arrival of spring feeling heavy and sluggish after the long winter. We may feel emotionally stuck—experiencing irritability, anger, low mood, or difficulty sleeping. Physically, we might notice low energy, brain fog, excess weight, lethargy, aches and pains, and a lack of motivation.
But spring energy wants to move, and wants to move us.
It brings expansion and new growth to the natural world as the rhythm of life begins to hum again after a season of quiet. As this seasonal Qi begins to rise and move, many of us need support to allow that same movement to happen within our bodies and minds.
A Spring Reset helps clear what has become stuck and stagnant, removing physical & psycho-emotional obstacles from our lives so that new life, ideas, and creativity can emerge.
We nourish ourselves with fresh spring foods and herbs that help clear stagnation, reduce dampness and heat, and support the smooth circulation of energy throughout the body and mind.
A Spring Reset is a powerful way to shift and harmonize with this changing seasonal energy. We gently adjust how we live—what we eat and drink, when we sleep and wake, how we move our bodies, and where we place our attention.
Chinese medicine reminds us that we are part of nature.
What happens seasonally outside of us is also happening within us. As an ancient earth-based tradition, Chinese medicine teaches that aligning with the energy of each season is essential for balance, vitality, and good health.
JOIN US as we lay the foundation for the season ahead to prepare another cycle of growing, climbing, flowering, fruiting, and abundance!
“Spring is the season of birth and renewal. Heaven and Earth give life, and the ten thousand beings flourish.”
-from the Huangdi Neijing

This individual session offers a supportive space to receive guidance metabolizing and reflecting on patterns, emotions, and life circumstances that may be holding you back and are ready to be transformed. It can also help you harvest the clarity that often arises during a cleanse—anchoring new insights and supportive meaningful diet and lifestyle changes. Together, we can explore how these shifts may ripple into other areas of your life that are ready for growth and transformation.
Acupuncture (Salt Spring Island Residents only) - $110 for 60 min
Acupuncture can be especially supportive during a reset, particularly in the spring when the body’s energy naturally begins to rise and move after the stillness of winter. By helping Qi flow smoothly through the meridians, acupuncture can release tension, reduce pain, and support clearer thinking and renewed energy. It gently encourages the body back into balance, making it easier to align with the natural momentum of the season.
Cleanse Extension - $100/week
Looking for a longer Spring reset experience? Add an additional 2 weeks to this time for a lengthier, deeper transformation. I will meet with you once a week to check in, and offer on-going guidance, support, and anchoring.
