It seems to me everywhere that I turn there is something telling me what clothes to buy, foods to eat, and medications to ask my doctor about. There is pressure to provide for my family, climb the corporate ladder, be the right size; the list could go on and on.

In ancient China, doctors were paid to keep the community healthy. It was the doctors who had to pay if patients were sick.

If you were able to have a conversation with your body, what do you think your body would tell you? Would your body thank you for filling it with healthy foods, getting proper rest and movement? Would your body say that it feels happy, has plenty of energy and is running at full strength? Or have you noticed or tried to ignore your body screaming at you in subtle ways with low energy, digestive troubles, insomnia, body aches and pains, anxiety, irregular or painful periods, low libido, weight gain, irritability, depression?

Let’s face it, we live in a stressful society and most of us are burning the candle at both ends just to survive. Have you ever considered how your life might be different if you had the tools to thrive? What might your body say then and how might that carry on into all aspects of your life?

Most of us are aware of having stressors in our lives, but it can be harder to make the body -mind connection as to how that stress affects our bodies, minds, and moods. Acupuncture addresses the root cause of your symptoms and rebalances the body.  Health runs in a circle: if one system is functioning properly, all the rest will follow suit. The same can be said for disease: if one system is affected, eventually it will impact all other systems. However, acupuncture is just one piece to the wellness puzzle. The second is having awareness and allowing change to follow.

In this one-of-a-kind community based program it starts with a circle. The circle is the most common shape in nature, your cells are circles, and your DNA spins in circles, to name a few. The first circle of Sangha comes from what Sangha means: spiritual community. What this means is that in 6 weeks you are being supported by and are supporting each member on their path to experiencing whole health. Come with a goal or that message your body is trying to tell you. It could be anything from wanting to sleep better, wanting to feel better emotionally, wanting more energy, feeling less pain, or maybe you have lost a connection to your body or to community and you are looking to reconnect. Part of this process will be sharing with the group just what it is that you are looking to achieve, and allowing the group to hold you accountable for your decision to work towards that goal. The other part of the process will be sharing your journey as you work to your goal. In addition to this you will receive the Whole Health Programs workbook full of simple, yet effective tools that you can do on your own to reduce stress, increase immunity, and continue to live a balanced life once the class is over. After the education, the true learning will take place in another circle. Each participant will rest on a massage table in a circle. Acupuncture treatments will be preformed at the same time for all participants and these individual treatments will reflect the needs of each participant. The journey of health is often times collective and individualistic. Once the needles are inserted, patients usually report a feeling of relaxation; this will be further enhanced by leading a guided mediation helping to retrain the brain while the acupuncture helps to retrain the body.

It takes 21 days to form a habit. In these 6 weeks you will train your body to form the habit of balance.    

This program is limited to 10 participants per Sangha. Pre-registration is required to maintain your space in the class. A commitment to all 6 weeks is required.  

Once you are registered you will be contacted to set up your free individual assessment with Kara or Sarah to be used in formulating your treatment during the Sangha.

If you’re ready, come discover your potential within!
