Empowerment in Health:Reclaiming Power Through Awareness
At Connecting Point Acupuncture, I believe that true empowerment in health begins with understanding ourselves deeply — not just physically, but emotionally and energetically.

Beyond the Surface: How Divergent Channels Assist with Chronic Illness
The Divergent Channels are part of Classical Acupuncture's sophisticated channel system. Their role is to safely store unresolved pathogens—whether emotional trauma, long-standing infections, or constitutional weaknesses—so they don’t overwhelm the internal organs or vital systems. This storage often allows someone to function, even thrive, for years. But over time, the burden becomes too great, and symptoms arise: autoimmune issues, fatigue, chronic pain, mysterious symptoms that come and go, or long-term emotional stagnation.
