Pregnancy is a time of change, processing, reorganizing. It’s a time when you need to nurture and pay attention to the needs of both your growing baby and yourself. Carla Wiseman and Gaelen Gibson are both honored to be a part of this process. We enjoy the challenges of helping women and families find comfort and ease during the transition from pregnancy to parenthood. Massage can be a part of this process, but many women have questions about pregnancy massage.

Not only is massage safe for babies in utero, but beneficial. Studies have shown that relaxation massage decreases heart rate and increases circulation in both mom and baby. Better circulation for baby means increased oxygen supply and better delivery of nutrients.read more

Menopause, is the cessation of ovulation typically occurs between the ages of 42-52 normally 49. It is a unique experience for each woman. Some hardly notice any changes and enjoy the freedom of this next stage of life. Others, however experience minor shifts to stronger more uncomfortable changes. There range from sleeplessness (particularly between 3-5am), hot flashes, fatigue, heart palpitations, vaginal dryness, night sweats and weight gain.

The symptoms vary because our lifestyle and choices vary prior to menopause and this greatly impacts our health leading up to our forties. Excessive stress, poor diet, too many children or births too close together, overworking and emotional stress. One or all of these drain our kidney energy over time. The kidneys in Chinese Medicine are our foundation and need to be supported and nurtured throughout our life. This is accomplished through diet, positive thinking, and healthy exercise like Tai Chi and Qigong and of course meditation. As we mature our kidney energy does wane and thus our hormones deplete also. Thus creating menopause.

Hormone Replacement Therapy the prescribed pill used in treating medicine in the western world does not treat the underlying inbalance. It is a fake estrogen that has been linked to cancers, hypertension, and headaches just to name a few. It does not nurture the kidney yin.read more

Infertility comments often heard from my clients and friends " that my husband and I have been trying to conceive for years and the doctors say there is nothing the matter."  In Chinese Medicine we believe conception originates in the kidneys. The kidneys store our essence ( genes from our parents), govern birth and reproduction and control the vessels particularly the conception vessels which is the ruler off the fetus.

There are several reasons why infertility occurs. Anemia, leading to fatigue and hormonal imbalance, cold kidneys which lead to frequent urination, back and or knee pain as well as menstrual dysfunction, hot blood resulting in excess bleeding possibly with clots and a warmer body temperature overall. These are just a few mainly seen in woman. Men however will often have weak kidney from an excessive lifestyle and or poor nutrition. Generally, men have a problem with a low sperm count or a poor mobility.read more

Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the world. Originating in China more than 2,000 years ago, acupuncture became widely known in the United States in 1971. Traditional Chinese Medicine theorizes that the more than 2,000 acupuncture points on the human body connect with 12 main and 8 secondary pathways, called meridians. Chinese medicine practitioners believe these acupuncture meridians conduct energy, or Qi (pronounced "chee") , between the surface of the body and internal organs.read more
