Earlier this month I got the opportunity to chat with host Rob Whetham and the Professionals Roundtable on All Business Media FM. It was a quick interview, but whole lot of fun. Rob’s quite a personality! (I think he’d probably be fun to hang out with.) He asked me about Aesthetic and Facial Acupuncture, […]
On March 4th, 2018, my mentor, Mary Elizabeth-Wakefield, jokingly threatened to strangle me if I continued to call my specialty “Cosmetic Acupuncture.” With that kind of loving encouragement, I’ve been pondering this question for weeks – what should my work be called if it’s not “cosmetic.” I even blogged about it several days ago, just […]
Over the past couple of days, I’ve been doing some heavy thinking. The question being: Is Cosmetic Facial Acupuncture “cosmetic?” Should the work I do be called “Cosmetic Acupuncture” or not? This was a recent discussion I had with several other Acupuncturists. Some felt that “cosmetic” was an appropriate term to describe the work we do. […]
I was so frightened. I remember looking in the mirror and putting up a hand to feel the right side of my face. It felt odd – not quite numb, but not quite normal either. I couldn’t blink or close my right eye. My smile was lopsided. The entire right side of my face drooped. […]
Trigeminal Neuralgia is a chronic pain condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain. If you suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia, you know exactly how painful it can feel.

And no, someone with Trigeminal Neuralgia is not crazy. Studies have shown Acupuncture to be helpful to folks suffering with TN. Below are a couple of […]
Just recently, I came across a social media post by a day spa that shared this link: Botox tested to help treat depression and social anxiety The gist of the day spa’s post was that they didn’t want you to suffer. Because botox “helps” with depression. And they want you to be happy […]
2017 is certainly a year of change! My firstborn, Patrick, will complete his treatment for leukemia on March 30th. His chemoport will be removed. And then he’s done. He’s been pronounced cancer free. Thank you all for your support over the past three and half years! Because of those life circumstances, I’ve had to make […]
In order to understand marketing messages within the beauty industry, I’ve been looking at some local Med Spa ads. And it’s making my gears grind. There’s a pretty big disconnect happening. And it ain’t pretty. Right now, women may be thinking that what they’re receiving from a Med Spa is complete whole body wellness. Here’s […]
Although the Purple Cloud Ointment formula has been around for several hundred years, not too many of us here in the States know about it. So I want to make sure that folks are aware of it. It’s too good not to share. Due to the climate here in Northern Colorado, most of us have […]
