Her approach to acupuncture is gentle and highly individualized, with a focus on helping patients feel more at ease in their bodies. With an appreciation for the quieter rhythms of winter as a time to rest, reflect, and recharge, Sue looks forward to supporting the Bayside community through the season ahead.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, winter is a season for rest and reflection. Just as nature slows down, we also benefit from moving more intentionally during this time. Here are a few simple habits that can help you start the year with ease:
• Prioritize rest and consistent sleep routines
• Stay warm, especially the neck, low back, and feet
• Enjoy warm, cooked meals like soups and teas
• Allow time to slow down, reflect, and recharge
• Practice gentle movement to keep blood flowing
Small seasonal shifts like these can go a long way in supporting your wellbeing through the winter months.
