⁣
This transit lasts until late April.⁣
⁣
A positive aspect of this transit is that we can more easily 𝙩𝙖𝙥 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙙𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙪𝙥 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙢 𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜.⁣
⁣
Taking care of our 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗡𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 (that runs through the spinal column) is of utmost importance. Mars rules the 𝙖𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙨 so we need to pause for the practices that help us refill our gas tank, our energy reserves.⁣
⁣
𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝-𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙠 𝙥𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 are 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 and can help ground & focus us. Yoga practices that help with 𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙢𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 will be beneficial as well.⁣
⁣
𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 will help keep you on track with your plans, even if they change (and change again). ⁣
⁣
Oh - and humour helps, too 😉⁣

One thing I love about acupuncture is how it helps

One thing I love about acupuncture is how it helps me to feel more connected to myself - tapping into that place of peaceful & alive alignment within, my inner knowing and compass. 😌

Have you experienced this through acupuncture?

PS. New site is so much fun. Just love lookin’ at it. (link in bio)

Full Moon in Virgo Release 👉🏽 lauraburns.ca

Hi 👋🏽⁣ Now that I have unveiled my snazzy

Hi 👋🏽⁣

Now that I have unveiled my snazzy new website (🙌🏽) allow me to (re)introduced myself.

I'm Laura (she/her).
⁣
I'm an Acupuncturist & Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, in Toronto, ON, Canada📍🌿⁣

Questions I’ve been asked lately:

"Are you still able to practice with Toronto currently in the ‘Grey Zone’?

The answer?

Yes! It’s great news that regulated health professionals such as Acus & TCMPs are allowed to continue our services (following proper protocols) 🙌🏽

The next question I get is, "What do you treat?"

Answer?

I treat people. I don’t see you as a condition or as a disease. I don’t see you as broken.

I understand what’s underneath the question, though. It’s: Can you help me with what I’m struggling with?

Please DM me or email to inquire with specifics, but some examples of what I’m working on with my patients, what & who I bring my needles & heart to are:

👉🏽 Stress. And to be honest, it’s a trigger for most conditions. Stress doesn’t mean it’s ‘all in your head’. Stress can be physical, situational, mental, emotional, spiritual, or inherited - or all of the above at once.

👉🏽 Physical Pain. Back pain? Recovering from a surgery? Experiencing pain as a side effect of radiation treatments? All can benefit with acu & TCM. (P.S. “Zoom shoulders” anyone? Ya. Thought so.)

👉🏽 Emotional pain. Grief. Loss. Life transitions. Heartache. Trauma. (Resonating? See you soon!)

👉🏽 Fertility. Studies show that regular acupuncture improves pregnancy rates and reduces risk of miscarriage. I see many folx who are trying to conceive naturally, as well as through IVF.

For more, please check out my new online digs: lauraburns.ca or Link in Bio.

And thanks to all for your supportive comments on the new look, I really appreciate it 🙏🏽 🎉

Bone broth: Yin Tonic. In TCM, bone broth nouris

Bone broth: Yin Tonic.

In TCM, bone broth nourishes our ‘yin’, specifically of our Kidney system: bones, adrenals, marrow, the brain. It contains healthy fats and minerals, building blocks of health. It supports fertility. It also helps heal a leaky gut 🥰

This glorious cup of hot bone broth is from @simplekitchento - they have hot bone broth on tap 🥳 Support local, support your health. A perfect winter treat.

Happy Wednesday.

Laura

It's week three of '𝙁𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙪-𝙇𝙞𝙖𝙣-𝙕𝙞', a terrible name for a fun & creative month of 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁, 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝘁𝘂𝘀 𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 - 𝗮𝗸𝗮 𝗟𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗭𝗶 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗖𝗠. ⁣
⁣
This week’s recipe: 𝗢𝗮𝘁, 𝗟𝗼𝘁𝘂𝘀 & 𝗟𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗲𝘀. ⁣
⁣
𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘢𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘦. 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘯. 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦. ⁣
⁣
I used @nutiva coconut manna for the coconut butter. ⁣
⁣
Pro tip: I softened the coconut butter in the coconut oil while infusing /gently simmering on the stove with the lavender. It made it easier to mix in 👌🏽⁣
⁣
Shoutout to my neighbourhood health food store @nuthouseonbloor - thanks for keeping me stocked with the goods!⁣
⁣
Lian Zi can be ordered online @theherbdepot.ca
⁣
Lavender available @theherbalclinic in Roncy⁣.
