What’s at Stake Now! Action, Peace and Clarity…

Anger and fear...two strong emotions showing up in spades, especially since the election in November.

From Baby-making to Bells Palsy

From Baby-making to Bells Palsy

I saw Shelly for the first time almost 8 months ago, and the first thing I noticed was a slurring of her words when trying to speak to me and her eye was constantly tearing throughout our conversation. Shelly revealed to me that she's a workaholic, often working late into the evenings after her children are asleep. She gets around four hours of sleep a night and has an extremely poor diet. She came to me about a month after coming down with the condition, which isn't ideal when it comes to using acupuncture for Bell's Palsy. Read more at http://acupuncturecenterofnj.com/blog
