OUTLIVE ASSEMBLE

This journal series, rooted in the yang-sheng tradition of “nourishing life,” translates organ-channel theory into clear, evidence-aligned perspectives that connect day-to-day health concerns with long-term vitality. Topics span from Liver dynamics in metabolic ageing, the Kidney channel’s role in restorative sleep, the Spleen’s influence on digestion—and, for women, how Liver-Spleen-Kidney harmony supports cycle regularity, fertility and a smoother menopause transition. Each piece blends current biomedical research with practical, self-care-oriented TCM guidance, offering a roadmap for managing key health concerns while adding years of robust function.

  • Acupuncturist Extraordinaire. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carla since February, and she’s now become a consistent part of my monthly wellness routine. Let me start by saying this: I’m actively needle-phobic. So the fact that I not only attend acupuncture sessions monthly, but actually look forward to them, is a testament to Carla’s skill, presence and care. From day one, her compassionate nature made me feel completely supported. She takes the time to talk me through the process, gently walking me past fear and into ease. Somehow, I go from panicked to laughing with needles in my body. Honestly, childhood doctors should take notes. Yes, there are moments during treatment where she hits a point that activates a reaction because something is shifting or clearing, but even then, I feel safe, seen and held. That’s her gift. Since working with Carla, I’ve noticed a dramatic improvement in my sleep and a deeper sense of calm overall. She also offers tools and practices beyond the session itself, like Qigong exercises that support the treatment long after I leave her space. We’re still working through things, and the healing is ongoing, but I can say without hesitation that working with Carla has been one of the most supportive decisions I’ve made for my health and wellbeing.

  • After three sessions, my right-sided neck pain stopped waking me at 3 a.m. Range of motion improved from a stiff, partial turn to being able to look fully over my right shoulder. We kept a pain diary. My average score fell from 7/10 to 2/10 over four weeks. No meds; posture work plus targeted acupuncture made the difference.
