Acupuncture is not only for chronic pain. It can also be an important part of a personalized recovery plan following an acute injury.
This treatment was created for an acute sports related knee injury. The acupuncture points were selected to help manage pain, reduce muscle tension, support circulation, and encourage the body’s natural recovery process.
I also incorporated infrared heat therapy to provide additional support to the injured area. Depending on the individual, a treatment plan may also include cupping, therapeutic exercises, nutritional guidance, herbs, or supplements selected specifically for that person’s needs.
Injuries are rarely one size fits all, so recovery should not be either. We look at how the injury happened, where the pain is located, how movement has been affected, and what the body needs to recover safely and effectively.
Dealing with a recent injury or pain that is keeping you from doing what you love? DM Vitality Wellness or call 773 800 1806 to discuss how we may support your recovery. We can also verify your acupuncture insurance benefits.

You can answer the messages, take care of everyone, handle your responsibilities, and still be running on stress underneath it all.
Stress does not only affect your mind. It can show up in your body through headaches, muscle tension, disrupted sleep, digestive changes, fatigue, hormonal changes, or feeling wired but exhausted.
Acupuncture offers a whole body approach that may help ease tension, support relaxation, and encourage the body to shift toward a more restful and regulated state.
And your acupuncture treatments may be covered by your insurance plan. Our office can verify your benefits and explain your coverage before you begin care.
DM us the word BENEFITS or call 773 800 1806 to have us check your acupuncture coverage.
Last night’s Ladies Sip & Shop at Wild Alchemy Boutique was such a fun evening! ✨
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat and let me bedazzle your ears with crystal ear seeds. I loved sharing how this little form of acupressure can be a simple way to support relaxation and self care, and hearing about what each of you is looking for in your wellness journey.
The evening was full of beautiful finds and lovely people, from custom jewelry and permanent jewelry to perfume making, natural body care, skincare, and plenty of sweets and treats. I’m grateful to Wild Alchemy for having Vitality Wellness be part of it, and I’m already looking forward to our next event together! 💎

What if a few tiny crystals could offer more than just a little sparkle? ✨
Auricular therapy views the ear as a microsystem of the body, with specific points selected to support concerns such as stress, sleep, headaches, pain, digestion, cravings, hormonal balance, focus, and nervous system regulation.
At Vitality Wellness, we offer both auricular acupuncture and needle free auricular acupressure using Swarovski crystal ear seeds. Each crystal is placed on a specific point based on what your body needs, then gently pressed throughout the day to continue stimulating that point.
And because this is not one size fits all, your points are personally selected by a licensed acupuncturist with over 14 years of clinical experience.
Crystal ear seeding is available as part of your care at Vitality Wellness and can also be offered as a fun, interactive wellness experience at events, retreats, parties, and corporate gatherings.
Because supporting your wellness can come with a little sparkle too. ✨
Curious which ear points may support you? DM us to learn more about adding ear seeds to your treatment or bringing a crystal ear seeding experience to your next event.

I get it. Cupping looks a little wild if you’ve never tried it. It feels like a firm pull on the skin, and some areas can be tender, but a lot of people find it surprisingly relaxing.
I often pair it with acupuncture when someone comes in with stubborn back, neck, or shoulder tension. The cups let us focus on those tight spots, while the acupuncture treatment is tailored to the rest of what’s going on with you. Together they work like magic 🪄
The marks can happen, but they’re not the goal. ☺️

A new week can make us feel like we need to do more, fix more, and move faster.
But healing is not always about adding more effort. Sometimes it begins with listening to your body, allowing yourself to receive support, and creating enough space to finally exhale.
Your body is not asking you to give up. It may simply be asking you to stop abandoning yourself in the process.
What does your body need less of this week?

Okayyy… we’ve been working on something behind the scenes 👀
And it’s about to make prioritizing your health a whole lot easier.
Any guesses? 🤭
It be like that most days 🤣
Somewhere between talking about periods, p**p, stress, sleep, s*x, hormones, pain, and the state of your tongue… we’re actually doing some pretty important work.
Because your nervous system, hormones, digestion, pain, sleep and mental well-being are a lot more connected than you think.
And sometimes feeling better starts with lying on a table, taking a deep breath, and letting someone else take care of you for an hour.
✨ If your body has been asking for a little more support lately, consider this your sign to book the appointment with me.

As the back-to-school season approaches, so many moms are focused on getting everyone else ready—new routines, packed lunches, sports, homework, and busy schedules.
But in the middle of caring for everyone else, don’t forget to care for yourself.
Our children are always watching. They learn how to respond to stress, prioritize their health, and practice self-care by watching us do the same.
Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s one of the greatest examples you can set for your family.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or like you’ve put yourself on the back burner, let this be your reminder to make your health a priority, too.
🤍 Your family deserves the best version of you—and so do you.
✨ Book your appointment today and head into the school year feeling more balanced and supported.
