Upcoming Events
Full Moon Shonishin ClinicConnected Healing is launching a monthly Full Moon Shonishin Clinic for kiddos!!! Each month, just prior to the full moon, Caitria will be providing pediatric shonishin treatments for wellness and health maintenance. Shonishin (show-nee-shin) is a non-needle treatment method that was adapted from Chinese acupuncture techniques over 2000 years ago in Japan. From there, it became a customary practice for pediatric health. Regular shonishin treatments help to boost the immune system, support digestive function (which is often at the root of childhood health issues), regulate sleep, and benefit emotional health.

Simple Steps to Transition Your Baby to Whole Foods Transitioning to whole foods is such an exciting time for baby and the family. It marks a big milestone in life, and is a key part of development. When your baby is ready for food, remember to choose whole foods, preferably organic. The lower the ingredient count, the better. Avoid processed food products whenever possible. The best option for baby food is homemade, and truly this is not as daunting as it may sound. Babies eat small portions, so it’s easy to prepare large quantities of baby food to freeze (in single-serving portions) for the future. Getting in the habit of...Continue Reading |
My Secret Weapon For Teething
As a first time mom, I remember hearing lots of horror stories about teething. No sleep, endless crying, and not much can be done to help. Being an advocate for natural medicine, I certainly wasn't going to reach for Orajel or another over the counter product, but I also wasn't willing to accept misery as my only other option. I began researching, and came across Tender Teeth, a Chinese herbal formula for teething. OH MY GOD AM I GLAD I DID SOME RESEARCH!!! This stuff is a literal lifesaver. The first day my daughter showed signs of teething, I began giving her a few doses of Tender Teeth every day. After a couple weeks, I was thinking to myself, "Man, teething really isn't so bad...Continue Reading |
"After doing some hardcore CPR at work back in January, my hands and wrists hurt as they usually do after CPR. It continued and gradually my entire body was sore. After PT/OT, splints, and steroids, there was no change. Weeks and months went by when finally blood work revealed I actually had an autoimmune disorder which was causing my pain, exacerbated by the CPR. I had no idea! I saw a rheumatologist who put me on specific meds and more steroids... and still no help.
Because I was miserable, I started looking for anything that might give me some relief. I’m a nurse and I had never tried acupuncture because, honestly, I was a skeptic.
After maybe 3-4 weeks of acupuncture with Caitria, I can say I have been pain-free since October. I never knew how powerful acupuncture could be."
