A G G R E S S I V E E N E R G Y T R E A T M E N T This is one of my favorite treatments to give and receive. This powerful treatment releases ‘aggressive energy’ or high states of tension and stress often when other treatments don’t. It can provide longer lasting results when other treatment’s benefits just don’t seem to be holding. The red marks around the needles show me what energetic organs are holding onto the aggressive energy. I know the treatment is finished when ...the redness clears. Can you think of a time you felt so irritated, agitated, and worked up about something that you just felt like jumping out of your skin? Or perhaps you know someone who is often agitated and unsettled. Maybe just being around this person impacts the way you feel. If someone makes you uncomfortable with their presence alone, it’s likely they have aggressive energy. It’s considered a block to treatment progress. Think about it, when someone has emotionally toxic energy, how can they heal? AE is known as a clearing treatment in the tradition of Worsely Style 5 Element Acupuncture. Aggressive Energy may feel like: - Extreme Frustration - Agitation - Short-tempered or annoyed with people - Everyone around you is wrong / off-base - Uncomfortable in your skin People who have this treatment often report feeling like themselves again after it.

P A T I E N T L O V E N O T E Dear @puncturista, I am breathing SO much better today after the work you did to help release the thousand pounds of tension running through the left side of my torso yesterday. ... You are a true angel. And I love you so. See you soon (so I can keep breathing freely ). XOXOXOXOXO, Liz Want to feel like Liz?

M Y F A V O R I T E B R E A K F A S T I’ve been talking to a lot of patients recently about sugar and cravings. One of the strategies I give them to help reduce sugar cravings is to make sure you start off your day with a breakfast without any added sugar (and, it’s hidden in a lot of foods, so that can be tricky). Sugar is highly addictive, and if you start your day with it, you’re way more likely to crave it all day. This breakfast (a version of avocado toast) is ...one of my all time favorite things to eat it is easy to make, filling, and nutritious. And, of course, free of added sugar. I keep pre-sliced bread from a local bakery in my freezer so I can just take out a slice or two and pop them directly into my toaster. This one is multigrain from Machine Shop Boulangerie but I often use bread from Metropolitan Bakery or Mighty Bread Company or High Street on Market It’s topped with smashed avocado , salt, pepper, a splash of extra virgin olive oil, baby arugula, and my favorite Norwegian smoked salmon from Whole Foods Market - the brand is Changing Seas, by Blue Circle Foods This way, I get my omega 3s, health fat, protein, some greens, and complex carbs in my body early to fuel my day. And, it is so delicious (and super fast to make).

Q I G O N G C L A S S E S Are you looking for gentle movement class that will help to support your health? You could try Qigong. It is part of the East-Asian medicine umbrella, and involves movements for health. My mom (InnerSage QiGong and Healing Arts) has been studying and teaching it for many years, and now offers classes as well as energy healing treatments over Zoom. So if you’ve been wanting to try it, now is the time. Check out her website - www.innersageqigong.c...om for all of the details. She has new classes starting next week. And, I highly recommend her energy treatments. Qigong is a gentle yet powerful 5,000 year old system of practices for mental and physical health, well-being, and stress release. Enjoy learning easy, gentle movements combined with focused intention to improve your physical and emotional alignment and balance, including relief from anxiety, worry and fear.

New art is finally up on the office walls! Let me know that you think of them next time you’re in for a treatment. And, if you’re interested in buying a print, I can connect you to the artist (my very talented mom Rona Cordish Satten).

P A T I E N T T E S T I M O N I A L Susanna has made an impact on my body, mind, and spirit! Before acupuncture with Susanna, I was an angry, unbalanced person, but after her treatments, I have become in-tune with myself and more zen. Susanna’s knowledge and insight about the body, and all the treatments have been extremely helpful to achieve the positive state that I am now in. Martyna B....

C H R O N I C S T R E S S Chronic stress can manifest as: low energy levels brain fog ... suppressed immune system response poor memory mood disorders In the short term, our body is set up to adapt and cope with the stressors. However, when stress continues over an extended period, eventually our adrenal glands can no longer keep up! 2020 is proving to be a perfect recipe for increased risk of chronic stress. Covid-19, ongoing financial, job, health uncertainty, increased lockdown restrictions are all creating a unique environment of heightened stress and anxiety. Most of us have felt more stress and anxiety during the pandemic than at any other time in our lives. Luckily, acupuncture can help. Reach out if you want to schedule your next acupuncture treatment!

How to best get the benefits of turmeric. Furthermore, benefits of curcumin are best achieved when it is combined with agents such as piperine found in black pepper which significantly increases its bioavailability and absorption, says Chinichian. Curcumin is also fat soluble, so it is advisable to take it with a fatty meal. So, if you’re going to try a curcumin supplement, try one that is combined with black pepper and don’t take it on an empty stomach.

Emotions and physical health are intimately connected .This integrated mind-body approach to health and healing operate in a dynamic loop, where emotions impact the health of the body and vice versa . Emotional imbalances can act as both symptoms and causes for physical issues.

P A T I E N T T E S T I M O N I A L Susanna is wonderful. I found her about 6 months ago when I was feeling anxious and drained and needed help. I had experience with acupuncture and knew it could lessen anxiety, but Susanna has managed to diagnose and help me work through everything from physical injuries to emotional scars. She is friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. I look forward to sessions with her and the li...ghter, more relaxed day I’m able to enjoy after leaving her office. More importantly, I’m so grateful to Susanna for her fundamental role in my improved well-being, and look forward to continued progress with her skilled support. Maureen S. See more

* E M O T I O N + B O D Y C O N N E C T I O N * The connection between your emotions and body is something I think about ALL THE TIME as an acupuncturist. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, each major organ is associated with a corresponding emotion: Anger with the liver Fear with the kidney ... Joy with the heart Grief with the lung Worry with the spleen This means that emotional imbalances can act as both symptoms of AND causes for physical issues. Mental health conditions are also linked to specific physical ailments of key organs. Cool right? By understanding these connections, we can get to the true ROOT of your condition and treat both mind and body for greater balance. And this is why, if you’re my patient, I’ll ask you about your emotions when you ‘just’ come in with a physical complaint, like headaches, digestive issues or even an injury. Check in with your emotions today. What are they telling you? Do you see any connections with physical conditions you're experiencing? Exploring our inner-landscape is a path towards better overall health. Thanks @daolabs for this awesome graphic! See more

P A T I E N T T E S T I M O N I A L I love receiving acupuncture from Susanna. She listens to what you say. She is kind, clear thinking, smart, and deeply knowledgeable about energy healing from many perspectives. She also feels the Qi, so her treatments are not only from her mental knowledge or protocols she has learned, but also from her intuition and ability to sense the subtle Qi energy and bring it to balance. I know this because I feel it. I... love that I sometimes go to see her with no particular body pain or issue, yet I still come out feeling more calm, open, relaxed, and present in my body and in my life just better in all ways. As an energy healing practitioner myself, I am very careful and particular about whom I will let work on me. Let Susanna do her healing magic on you your body, thoughts, emotions, and spirit will be very grateful. - Rona S See more
