COMMUNI-TEA + ACUPUNCTURE.

A community gathering for nervous-system care, connection & intentional pause.

Come as you are and leave a little more grounded with acupuncture, tea and rest together. Bring friends and family (16+ and older).

WHAT IS COMMUNI-TEA ACUPUNCTURE?

Communi-Tea is a gentle community experience that brings people together in a safe, relaxed space to receive the deeply regulating practice of auricular acupuncture with a herbal tea I brew for the current season.

In clinical Chinese medicine, the ear is a microsystem that connects the whole body. I will place a small number of carefully selected acupuncture needles at specific points in your external ear while you rest, breathe, and simply be.

This is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with self, and allow your body room recalibrate. In community and with loved ones.

WHY AURICULAR ACUPUNCTURE?

With consistent care, auricular acupuncture helps to stabilize the nervous system – reducing everyday tension, restores rest, improves sleep quality and helps the body, mind and spirit adjust and regulate, especially during periods of transition and heightened stress. Emerging clinical research also provides evidence that supports these benefits. Physiological effects aside, acupuncture, including auricular acupuncture, actively supports sustainable emotional wellbeing.

BEFORE YOU RECEIVE ACUPUNCTURE

For your safety, I am unable to provide acupuncture at this and all community acupuncture events if you:

• Are pregnant

• Are currently fasting

• Have a history of fainting, seizure, or other adverse reactions

• Have a history of seizures 

• Are currently under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs, or any other intoxicating/substances of any kind that may impair your awareness or judgment

• Have active tuberculosis

• Frequently have low blood pressure, particularly systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg

• Frequently have blood pressure reading of ≥180 mmHg systolic (top number) and/or ≥110 mmHg diastolic (bottom numer)

Acupuncture of any kind affects blood glucose. Please eat something nourishing like something warm and cooked rather than raw, cold, heavy or greasy before coming.

If you have a significant medical condition, take prescription medications, have a bleeding disorder, use blood-thinning medication, or are unsure whether acupuncture is appropriate for you, please let me know separately.

Your safety comes first. I reserve the right to decline or modify treatment whenever I determine that acupuncture of any kind is not appropriate or safe for you at that time.

Temporary discomfort, tenderness, bruising, minor bleeding, dizziness, or fainting can occur.

By choosing to participate, you acknowledge that you have provided accurate health information, understand the nature and potential risks of acupuncture, and have the opportunity to ask questions before treatment.
