Treatments

Winter Garden & Orlando Wellness Services

Acupuncture
Treatment

Acupuncture is a core element of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a 2,000+ year-old healing practice. It works by stimulating the body’s energetic pathways—called meridians—to restore the flow of Qi (energy). When Qi is blocked, it can lead to physical pain or emotional imbalance. Acupuncture helps move Qi and blood through the body, supporting organ function, reducing inflammation, and promoting natural healing. As TCM says, “When there is flow, there is health.”

Nutrition
& Herbs

In TCM, nutrition is viewed as foundational to wellness. Using your health history and body constitution, we craft a nutrition plan to support your body’s unique needs. Due to depleted soil and modern diets, supplements and herbal formulas are often added to restore balance. Herbs target specific organ systems, while food and nutrients create a stronger, more stable foundation—helping you feel energized and aligned in your body.

Herbal Supplements Assortment_edited_edi

Functional Medicine

We also offer Functional Medicine consultations designed to uncover the root causes of your symptoms. Through personalized nutrition, lifestyle guidance, targeted supplementation, and whole-body assessment, she creates a custom plan to support energy, digestion, hormones, stress, and long-term wellness.
Whether you're navigating chronic issues or simply want to feel your best, Functional Medicine provides a comprehensive, integrative path forward.

Cranial Sacral Therapy (CST)

Cranial Sacral Therapy is a light-touch, hands-on technique that helps release tension in the soft tissues surrounding the brain and spine. This gentle approach supports the central nervous system, helping the body self-correct and restore balance. CST may improve physical and neurological function, offering relief from pain, stress, and emotional imbalances stored deep in the body.

Yin Pin
Classes

Yin Pin blends restorative Yin Yoga with the healing benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Enjoy 30 minutes of long-held poses, followed by a calming de-stress treatment from Amanda Bouque, Board Certified Acupuncture Physician—your choice of acupuncture or ear seeds—ending in a relaxing savasana. New to acupuncture? This is the perfect, gentle introduction.

Other Therapies

We offer additional holistic treatments to support your wellness journey, including:

- Moxibustion

- Cupping

- Guasha

- Homeopathic Injections

- Tuina Massage

These therapies can be used on their own or alongside acupuncture to boost circulation, relieve pain, and promote internal balance.

Private & Group Learning Sessions

We offer private and small-group sessions designed to help you learn, explore, and experience holistic healing together. Perfect for gatherings, retreats, wellness nights, or backyard events, each session can focus on themes like stress relief, heart opening, grounding practices, or seasonal wellness.

These community-style acupuncture and education sessions include guided instruction, hands-on learning, and multiple treatment options so participants can understand how these modalities support the body. Whether you’re hosting a spa night or creating a shared learning experience with friends, these sessions make holistic wellness both accessible and enriching.

BOOK YOUR GROUP SESSION

Women's Health

Acupuncture supports you through every part of your motherhood journey—awakening fertility, easing each trimester, and nurturing you through the tender transition into postpartum. As your body grows and changes, treatments help soothe discomfort, balance hormones, calm your mind, and strengthen your body so you can nourish both yourself and your baby. The third trimester becomes especially meaningful, offering relief, encouraging optimal baby positioning, and preparing you for labor.

Whether you’re welcoming your baby at home or in the hospital, we bring care directly to you. In-home sessions and labor-prep treatments are available throughout Winter Garden, Windermere, Clermont, Ocoee, Orlando, and surrounding areas, offering comfort and support when you need it most.

After birth, we continue walking with you—supporting lactation, C-section recovery, emotional balance, fatigue, and the many shifts that unfold postpartum. Our women’s wellness services are offered in our Winter Garden office and across the Greater Orlando area.

Success Stories

SUCCESS STORIES

“I am so grateful for Dr. Bouque. She helped me manage the unbearable pain of sciatica through the end of my pregnancy. When my blood pressure skyrocketed during my home birth we called her and she was at my door in minutes. She was able to get my blood pressure low enough for me to safely give birth in my home (which during Covid, brought me so much peace). If it hadn't been for her I would've been rushed to the hospital for an emergency c-section. Dr. Bouque's calming presence, skill, and knowledge meant so much to me during an incredibly stressful moment. I can't even express how grateful I am to her. I highly recommend her.”

Do you pause… or do you push?

The season between the end of one year and the beginning of another is a powerful in-between.
Yet the world pressures us to rush—set goals, measure success, and praise what we produced.
In that rush, we forget to honor the pause.

The in-between asks us to stop, and stopping often goes against what we’re told success should look like.
Pausing can be mistaken for giving up, for settling, for falling behind.
But what if the pause is wisdom?

In Chinese medicine, winter is the season of stillness—of storing energy, protecting the kidneys, and conserving life force.
It is the space between coming and going.
Between rising and resting.

When we learn to appreciate the pause, we learn patience.
We allow ourselves to reflect on what has been and sense what is becoming.
From stillness, our choices become thoughtful instead of rushed.
Rooted instead of reactive.

Contentment is not resignation—it is a conscious decision to choose what truly matters.
And those choices create a life that reflects who you are, not just what you rushed to produce.

Thank you for honoring the pause.
I’m here to witness it with you.

🎉🍾 Crossing the Year Gently 🍾🎉

Let’s celebrate the year with healthy, supportive habits.

Celebrating by staying up late often robs the body of its chance to rest and regenerate after a year of daily work. Going to bed earlier supports both physical and mental wellbeing—offering clearer thinking, steadier energy, and more joy during the day.
In nature, daytime is for activity and nighttime is for rest.

Instead of drinking wine—which can be overheating and drying for the organs—try sparkling water. It hydrates, provides gentle minerals that support adrenal health, and still feels festive (because bubbles are exciting!). Alcohol in excess can weaken digestion and drain kidney energy, while sparkling water gives us movement and celebration without the toxicity.

Just because it’s typical to stay up late and eat heavy foods to celebrate doesn’t mean we have to overindulge. Small portions and tasting bites can be just as satisfying to the body and mind—and you’ll feel the rewards later. Kids, especially, do better without excess sugar and late-night snacking, which often leads to crankiness and dissatisfaction rather than joy.

Other gentle ways to celebrate and protect your energy:

✨ Choose warm drinks over iced beverages in winter—this better supports digestion and kidney energy.
✨ Celebrate “noon-year” with the kids—break out the kazoos and confetti without forcing your eyes to stay open until midnight.
✨ Wear cozy socks on the couch instead of high heels out on the town—comfort is medicine.

When you make these mindful choices, you choose to protect your energy.
You choose to support your organs instead of asking them to work overtime.
And you enter the new year feeling nourished—not depleted.

🍃Treat your body the way nature intended.🍃

Do you ever feel like a robot—moving through daily routines like clockwork, following a rigid plan you have to fight to keep up with? Do you feel the pressure to constantly meet goals? The world tells us to do everything stronger, faster, bigger. Go big or go home, right?

But the world is a stage that can make us feel like we’re never enough—never meeting our own standards or setting ourselves up to truly win.

Maybe instead, we were meant to gather slowly and practice consistently. Trial by trial, improving little by little. Maybe we were meant to rest when we’re tired, and let stamina grow from rest—not burnout. To listen to our body’s needs. Sleeping enough, hydrating, and nourishing your body isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom.

When we push ourselves too hard, we risk falling. Instead, we can pause, reflect, and choose to honor where we are in this moment. Reset. Recuperate. Rebuild—mentally and physically—for the next season.

You must be full to fill others’ cups.
Remember: you are worthy. God made you to rest.

As Jesus said:

“Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

🧠✨ Focus for your brain health during chaos✨🧠

Depending on your organization and planning skills, December is often one of the busiest and most stressful times of the year. At the same time, Christmas and the holidays are also among the most joyful—filled with lights, presents, and kids being home from school.

This dichotomy of the busiest and happiest time of year can really confuse your brain. We juggle daily responsibilities—work, driving kids to school and after-school activities—while squeezing in gift shopping, school-sponsored dress-up days, and prepping for whatever exciting new event is happening for dance or soccer that week. Your mind spirals with what’s next, while still feeling the pressure to enjoy all the holiday festivities. But honestly, sometimes you’d rather just sit on the couch with your dog and watch a Christmas movie.

The holiday season is hectic, which makes the post-holiday period the perfect time for a mental detox. Emotional highs and lows—from excitement to overwhelm—along with expectations and guilt, create a roller-coaster effect for your mind. Yet your brain craves consistency.

Your brain’s capacity to process so many emotions at once takes a toll on your nervous system. The solution to this exhaustion may look different for everyone, but finding contentment in the chaos is the goal.

The beach is my happy place. The moment I smell the salt air, my brain shifts into calm. Hearing the ocean waves creates a pause in my spirit—a moment of peace in restlessness. When my toes touch the powdery sand, my heart slows and I can smile. I take a breath, breathe in the fresh air, and taste the salt carried by the wind off the waves.

I am so grateful for these moments that help bring my nervous system back into balance.

✨Multitasking leads to exhaustion affecting your kidneys✨

Holiday time many of us have high expectations. We want to be joyful and spread the cheer so we cram lots of preparation into a short period of time. Our already busy schedules now have extra tasks adding more multitasking to our list of responsibilities. Life is already busy. Now you add more activities when the time is already limited for regular every day programming.

Then exhaustion.

Kidneys are overworked. You’re burning the flame 🔥 from both ends. Not enough sleep and rest and more work. No bueno.

Your brain is discombobulated.

What to do instead?

Start gift buying 6-12 months ahead of time. Make a plan to prepare little each month of the year during your regular shopping errands.

Look for sales during non-holiday times for gifts and holiday decorations.

Choose to buy less things and instead choose experiences. You’ll have memories that will last you a lifetime more than theory that breaks after a few months.

Now we have more opportunities to choose joy. More have to feel the love and happiness the holidays should bring.

Who wants to join me and start Christmas shopping in January?

🔥 The Art of Fire Cupping in Chinese Medicine 🔥
A gentle ancient therapy with powerful effects.

In Chinese medicine, pain is often a sign of stagnation—when blood and qi aren’t flowing smoothly, the body sends signals of tightness, constriction, or discomfort. Fire cupping is one of the oldest and most effective ways to restore that natural movement.

When a glass cup is briefly heated and placed on the skin, it creates a therapeutic suction. This gentle pull lifts the superficial muscle layers, fascia, and skin, increasing blood circulation to areas that have become “stuck.”

✨ As fresh blood flows in, the body delivers oxygen and nutrients while also clearing metabolic waste that can contribute to soreness and inflammation.

✨ The warmth and suction together encourage tight muscles to soften, fascia to release, and the nervous system to shift into relaxation.

✨ Many people notice improved mobility, reduced pain, and a deep sense of relief—even after just one session.

In Chinese medicine, cupping is more than a modality.
It’s a way of reminding the body how to move again—how to circulate, release, and return to balance.

If you’ve been feeling tension, stagnation, or lingering pain, fire cupping may be the spark that helps everything flow again. 🔥💆‍♀️💨

Sometimes you have to jump, even when you don’t know how you’ll land. 🦋
Sometimes you have to yell, even when you don’t have the words. 🗣️
Sometimes you have to run, even when you barely have the strength to stand. 🏃‍♀️

When you’re comfortable in your routine, it’s easy to repeat the same patterns.
“Why change a good thing?”
But comfort can become autopilot — where we stop noticing, stop feeling, and stop living fully.

Are you truly present in your life, or just moving through the motions?

I choose to change my direction.
I choose to pause and try something new.
I choose to lead myself, instead of walking a path built by others.

When you choose the unusual — when you keep things fresh — you spark your brain with new connections that keep it flexible and alive.
And flexibility means smoother transitions, clearer problem-solving, and a steadier mind when life’s waves rise.

The waves will always come.
Let’s learn to ride them with ease. 🌊✨

✨ Receiving & Gratitude in Chinese Medicine

In a world that constantly asks us to give more, do more, and hold more, it can feel unfamiliar — even uncomfortable — to receive. But in Chinese medicine, receiving is a form of nourishment, a Yin practice that fills the spaces we’ve poured out.

✨ Gratitude is the emotional medicine of the Metal element

It refines us.
It clarifies what we value.
It anchors us into the present moment — where the sacred lives.

When we allow ourselves to receive —
a compliment,
a helping hand,
a quiet moment,
a breath of fresh air —
we activate Yin nourishment that restores our Qi and strengthens our spirit.

And when we offer gratitude in return, we complete the cycle.
We inhale with appreciation.
We exhale with grace.

✨ Receiving fills you.
Gratitude refines you.
Together, they make space for healing.

Free play isn’t just for kids — it’s medicine for adults, too. 🍃

Adulthood comes with responsibilities: lists, schedules, timelines, and the constant pressure to perform or “hold it all together.” Structure helps us reach our goals, yes — but we can’t forget the importance of flexibility. Flexibility creates the feeling of freedom. It gives us permission to tap into joy, creativity, and spontaneity… to act “like a kid” again.

Just because we’re the adults doesn’t mean we should drain all the fun and playfulness out of life. Give yourself grace. Invite moments of free play into your day — jump outside, doodle your dream vacation, scribble your pet in three colors, or simply let your imagination run wild.

When we live inside rigid routines and tight schedules, our bodies follow suit.
We tense up.
We tighten.
We hold ourselves like we’re wearing emotional armor.

In Chinese medicine, this physical and emotional tension is classic Liver Qi stagnation — where your energy becomes stuck, heavy, and restricted.
And the truth?
Allowing your Qi to flow again can make you feel lighter, younger, and more alive far quicker than eating all your vegetables.

Create space in your day for free flow — moments without rules or expectations. Kids break rules to learn boundaries. Maybe you need to loosen the rules to rediscover yourself.

Do you have a hobby?
A dream you’ve pushed aside?
Something you’ve always wanted to try?

When you give yourself permission to create — to move, imagine, laugh, and play — you activate the right brain, soften the liver, release stagnation, and reconnect to your true desires.

So yes — go to that pottery studio. Try the dance class. Paint badly on purpose. Laugh with your mom friends.
Make yourself a priority, not an afterthought.

You deserve joy.
You deserve freedom.
You deserve to feel alive again. 🌿✨

Qi Boosting Dance: Moving Through the Midday Slump

When energy dips, the best medicine might just be music and movement.
In Chinese medicine, Qi (energy) and Blood need to move to stay healthy — stagnation leads to fatigue, frustration, and emotional heaviness.

Dancing with your kids helps move Liver Qi, circulate Blood, and awaken the body’s natural vitality.
It harmonizes your Heart and Lungs, clears mental fog, and boosts mood — for both you and your little ones.

This is family regulation through rhythm and joy.
Movement teaches your children how to flow through their emotions, how to breathe, and how to connect.

So next time your home feels sluggish — turn up the music, take a deep breath, and dance it out together.
That’s Qi medicine in motion. 🕊️💃

🦁 Lioness Walk: Breathe Your Strength into Being

Confidence begins with the breath.
In Chinese medicine, the Lungs are the organ of courage and inspiration, while the Large Intestine helps us let go — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

When you breathe deeply, you strengthen your Lung Qi and open the chest — the seat of self-worth and authenticity.
When you exhale fully, you release old patterns, fears, and expectations that no longer fit the woman you’re becoming.

Autumn invites us to embody that transformation — to walk with calm confidence and radiant grace.
Each breath, each step, is an act of letting go and rising stronger.

✨ You are grounded. You are seen. You are the lioness — courageous in your breath, confident in your skin.

🤰As healers, mothers, and givers, we often pour out until we run dry. 💨

In Chinese medicine, balance is the key — giving (Yang) and receiving (Yin) create harmony in the body and spirit.

When we allow ourselves to receive — a kind word, a breath, a moment of stillness — we nourish our Jing, our essence, and refill the well from which we give.

My internal nature is to heal, help others feel better. Animals particularly hold a special place always in my heart. I had a craving for some touch of a farm in my life and these hens gave that to me. I feed them and hug them, then I get to eat some eggs that nurture me. Isn’t that such a lovely full circle moment?

✨ Receiving is sacred. It’s how we remember that healing flows both ways.

☀️ Sun & Spirit: Nourishing Your Light This Autumn

In Chinese medicine, the sun’s warmth is pure Yang energy — it fuels vitality, strengthens immunity, and uplifts the spirit.
As autumn arrives and the days grow shorter, soaking in gentle sunlight helps nourish Lung Qi and support your Wei Qi, the body’s natural defense layer.

This warmth also brightens mood and helps release the emotional heaviness that can settle in during the Metal season.
Just as the leaves reach for one last touch of light, your body and spirit crave the same nourishment.

✨ Step outside.
✨ Feel the sun on your skin.
✨ Let it remind you — your light still shines through every season.

🫶In Chinese medicine, balance begins with how we nourish our Qi.
Eating protein before sweets or carbohydrates grounds and stabilizes digestion — like building a strong foundation before adding decorations.

Protein strengthens the Spleen and Stomach, the organs responsible for transforming food into energy. When we eat sugar first, we overload these systems, leading to energy crashes, dampness, and cravings.

By starting with protein, we anchor the Qi and steady blood sugar — helping the body stay centered, clear, and calm.

✨ Build your foundation first, and the energy will flow with ease.

Here’s that Pumpkin Protein donut recipe-

Donuts

½ cup vanilla collagen (51 g)
½ cup pumpkin seed flour (50g)
⅓ cup arrowroot starch (52g)
1 tsp pumpkin spice
1 tsp paleo baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup organic pumpkin puree
1 large egg
3 Tbsp maple syrup
2 Tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Tbsp water

Mix liquid ingredients separate from dry and then mix all together. Use ziplock to fill batter into donut trays to keep tidy. Cook on 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. Make chocolate glaze below and melt slowly in 30 second increments until smooth. Dunk cooled donuts into chocolate and enjoy!

Chocolate Glaze

✨Grow, glow, flow that IS a vibe.

I love my job. I get to listen to people’s concerns and help them feel better. Switch perspectives and still be realistic. But in the end feel brighter, a lighter, better version of themselves.

Stress is a major and pervasive factor that contributes to a very large percentage of physical and mental complaints. Some sources calculate that stress is the common risk factor for 75% to 90% of diseases. Stress is often an underlying root cause of symptoms my patients choose to try Acupuncture for.

Acupuncture does more than just relax your face and remove the tension. It activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System that helps with Rest and Digest. It’s opposite of the Sympathetic Nervous System that when over-triggered can cause us to be always startled. Acupuncture helps your whole body smile, not just your face.

This is why I love what I do. I get to see people change from a frown to a smile.

You are worthy! Let’s see your smile!

How do you Let Go with Dignity?

The Large Intestine pairs with the Lungs to complete the sacred cycle of intake and release.
Just as it eliminates what the body no longer needs, it helps us emotionally let go of:

• Regret
• Old habits
• Guilt
• Relationships or patterns that block growth

Letting go is not loss — it’s liberation.
Through this process, we make room for gratitude, peace, and deeper self-awareness.

🕊️ What we release in the fall becomes fertile soil for what blooms in spring.

Breath is more than oxygen — it’s your life force, your Qi, and your emotional compass. 🌬️

In Chinese medicine, the Lungs govern not only your respiration but also your immunity (Wei Qi) and your ability to let go — physically and emotionally.
When Lung Qi flows smoothly, we feel inspired, calm, and clear. When it stagnates, we may hold grief, tension, or resistance to change.

As the seasons shift, take time to breathe deeply and reconnect to your heart space.
Smell the flowers. Feel the air. Allow each breath to cleanse and renew.

✨ Breathe in light.
✨ Exhale release.
✨ Let your spirit expand.

When you step into our clinic, we want you to feel welcome! Whether it’s the start of your day, a break or the end to finish your day, we want you to enter and feel invited, relaxed and ready to transform.

Just like the season of Autumn transforms weather from hot to cold, we want you to feel the opportunity to shift your mindset. I encourage you to shift from stressed to content. From constrained to
Relaxed. From closed to open. From overwhelm to peaceful.

We created the opportunity, now it’s your turn to accept the invitation.

Welcome to Heart Wings Acupuncture and Wellness! We create the clear space where you can rest and allow yourself to Heal.

You are worth it!

#happytoseeyou #transformation #acupuncture #healingvibrations #placeofhealing #cranialsacraltherapy #womanshealth #pediatrichealth #emotionalhealing #brainhealth #chinesemedicine #functionalmedicine #nervoussystemhealing

The home is where the heart is — the place where the family connects, breathes, and grows together.
A space to share routines, meals, laughter, and rest.
A place to unwind from the world, to cry freely, and to express joy without pressure.

When you create warmth in your home, you invite emotional expression.
It becomes a space where truth and authenticity can be spoken — where feelings are safe to be seen.

But after we create the space, we must listen.
Listening is a skill that blossoms through practice — in the quiet moments when your child reads you a story or shares their small joys.
When we listen, we open the heart’s door to understanding.

As your practitioner, my goal is always to listen first — because true healing begins with being heard.
Listening is the foundation of wisdom, wholeness, and becoming the truest version of yourself.

✨ You are worth it.
You are heard.
You are home. 🕊️

🍂As autumn arrives, the wind begins to stir — 💨bringing with it crisp air and seasonal dryness.
In Chinese medicine, Autumn belongs to the Metal element, which governs the Lungs and Large Intestine. These organs are closely connected to the skin, our body’s first line of defense.

When wind and dryness dominate, they can weaken the skin’s protective layer and disrupt the Wei Qi (defensive energy), leaving us more vulnerable to colds, sinus congestion, or cough. During summer, our pores open to release heat and sweat — but as temperatures drop and wind whirls around, these open pores become entry points for pathogens. The sudden temperature contrast can cause the skin and muscles to contract, tightening the surface and straining the immune system.

One of the best ways to protect your Wei Qi is to keep the body warm from the inside out.
Warm foods strengthen your internal defenses and support the Lungs’ role in maintaining balanced moisture and immunity.

🍲 Food therapy tip:
Enjoy nourishing bone broths made with warming and pungent vegetables like ginger, garlic, scallions, carrots, and daikon radish. These ingredients help circulate warmth to the surface and protect your body from the effects of wind and dryness.

Drinking soup in autumn is like wearing armor for your immune system — it keeps your inner warmth steady while the external world shifts.

✨ Say “yes” to soup!
Warm yourself from the inside out and let your Qi flow with the season.

Your outer glow begins within. ✨
In Chinese medicine, the Lungs govern the skin — when your Lung Qi flows freely, your complexion reflects clarity, vitality, and calm.
Facial massage boosts circulation, clears stagnation, and connects breath to beauty. You can also clear the lung and sinus pathways all in the face for clear breathing.

I love to have this in my daily routine. I hope you try it.

Breathe. Release. Glow. 🍂

✨Encourage yourself to rest and receive deeper emotional processing.

Autumn is Metal season in Chinese Medicine’s 5-season calendar. Metal represents value, clarity, and integrity — our ability to distill experience into truth.
It’s the alchemical process of turning pain into wisdom.
When balanced, the Metal spirit helps us:

• Recognize our worth.
• Hold healthy boundaries.
• Move through change with courage and grace.

✨ Metal refines the raw into the radiant — just as your spirit refines experience into strength.

🍂Build your Qi (chi) , that’s the KEY when it’s chil-LEE 🤪🥰

✨ When the weather cools, your energy begins to turn inward.

Gentle twisting and core movement awaken your digestive fire, move Liver Qi, and keep your body’s warmth circulating.

This isn’t about intensity — it’s about flow.
Each twist invites release.
Each breath builds inner radiance. ✨

Stay warm, move gently, and keep your Qi flowing this autumn. 🍂

“Syncing with the Fall Season”

Each season holds its own strength and purpose. 🌿
Winter isn’t a time for busy movement or play outside — it’s a time for rest and stillness. Autumn becomes the sacred bridge between the fiery, active energy of Summer (Yang) and the calm, inward energy of Winter (Yin).

Just like Monarch caterpillars, we move through seasons of transformation. For two weeks, they focus on eating and growing stronger — their Summer phase of expansion and action. Then they draw inward, forming a chrysalis, where they release their first form and refine themselves into butterflies. In this quiet cocoon, they embody the energy of Autumn — turning inward to prepare for flight. 🦋

May you also find your rhythm this Fall — to slow down, reflect, and release what no longer serves you.
May your inner strength grow as you embrace this season of courage, refinement, and renewal.
May you move forward with grace, grounded in your body and radiant in your heart. 🤍

🍂 Sacred Rest: The Medicine of Autumn

When the quiet whispers are telling you to be still but a busy world is telling you to keep going, who do you listen to?

Listen to your body’s quiet call — Sacred Rest is how your energy, your heart, and your light return.

In Chinese medicine, autumn belongs to the Metal element, a season of refinement, release, and returning to what is essential.

We learn how to “go” by understanding how to “stop.”
We rise (Yang) by learning to return (Yin).
Energy and alertness are born not from doing more — but from honoring rest as sacred.

Just as the lungs draw in and the large intestine lets go, your body also needs to breathe in rest and release what no longer serves. When you fill yourself up with rest, you discover it’s not laziness — it’s medicine.

✨ Sacred Rest refills your reserves so you can move through the world with clarity, strength, and grace.
Choose rest — so you can feel your best, and move into winter nourished, radiant, and whole.

Finally! That feeling you get from waiting so long for something big. For something you’ve prayed about.

When you have a prayer, a dream that is happening and you want to show the world! I’d love for you to come and see me. Visit please and I’d love to show you around. I hope it gives you even a portion of the explosion that I feel that was brewing inside of me.

This room is blessed and ready for lots of healing. I’d love for you to be a part of it.

In hope and health,

Amanda

When we remove the stress we add years to our lives. Imagine that? Would you make different choices if you truly knew this was the case? What if you thought it was 50/50? What changes would you make?

Getting out on open water is so freeing. You are surrounded by water which alone is healing, including the sound of waves or water which helps the nervous system. Water in TCM represents calm strength and renewal. We learn to surrender, go with the flow instead of forcing.

The wind signifies vital movement, or Qi the energy flow in the body. It helps you move through what has been stuck in your body.

May you find your inner strength to create calm in your mind, movement to clear things out and move forward from your stress.

Nourish with the season-
A blessing we have in Florida is a longer growing season. We started our garden mid to later summer and we still have okra plants growing a fruitful harvest.

Okra is a vegetable with a great benefit as we transition to Fall. With Autumn comes cooler weather and more wind. This transition is harder on our bodies as the temperature drops and the breeze can stir up different allergens or bacteria.

Some protections we have include our nose and nose hairs to keep bacteria out since we breathe in the air since the nose a first line of defense. If body temperature is not regulated or our bodies are stressed, any pathogens we breathe in can create mucus. If our immune system including the Lung meridian, cannot defend, the cold and runny nose may deepen and transition to a cough.

Eating okra for Cough and mucus in the throat and chest can be very beneficial. Try them raw when they have the best muciligous properties to help expel that mucus out of your throat and chest.

You are resilient! You were born for a time like this!

Autumn in Chinese medicine is all about the lungs and large intestine, the metal element, and the themes of letting go, grief, courage, and inner strength. It’s the season of drawing inward, releasing what no longer serves, and cultivating clarity and breath.

I pray you have the clarity to know how resilient you are. The struggles will only build your stamina and strength. May you align with the season of Fall with emotional resilience.

This isn’t just a fashion statement to wear your favorite scarf. The fabric around your neck is a protective layer for your immune system!

With Autumn brings more windy weather so wrap up your neck so you won’t get sick! The wind in Chinese Medicine shows movement, and brings in cooler weather. If you cover your neck you will protect your body from changing temperature too quickly. The neck prevents the wind from penetrating plus it makes your temperature increase. Keeping a consistent temperature, and staying warm when temperatures drop during the Fall season will help
Stabilize your body temperature.

Let’s see some photos of you wrapped in your favorite fabric!

Don’t think I’m stopping you from drinking your morning brew. I just want to do your body a favor here.

I know you need that boost that will open your eyeballs and wake up your brain. But there may be a better way to drink your beauty brew.

First, eat some protein or grains. (Ideally separately especially for those with digestive struggles.)

-Western med said consuming the bitter, acidic drink can increase acid excretion and cause acid reflux. No one wants to hiccup or burp during your morning meeting right?

-Eastern med (TCM) says coffee is hot and drying. Your body is made of 80% water, so drying out the terrain of your inner landscape can cause more than just some flakey skin. Night sweats, irritability and restlessness are just a few symptoms this can exacerbate.

So next time, wait until you have some food in your belly before you drink your brew!

Why the name Heart Wings you ask?

Your heart in Chinese Medicine (TCM) houses the Shen, your mind. Consciousness, emotions and spirituality all reside here in the Heart Meridian. I pray you can find it in your spirit, to connect on a deeper, higher place within yourself. When we connect on an emotional level then you can soar.

I want you to feel the Joy of the Heart so you can spread your wings.

You are worth it.

This girl is 7 today. Seven years ago she gave my heart so much peace and she continues to make this mama feel so loved cause she is so kindhearted, funny, sassy and full of love. Skylar you are the light of my eye and I pray you have a prosperous year in your year 7. Your mom, dad and brother love you so dearly 💜

We are beyond excited for this new school adventure. Logan is so happy he gets to get back to his Montessori roots and get a lot of movement in his days. Thank you Jesus for this new beginning for my favorite guy!

We have a choice, hundreds of thoughts race through our minds daily. They say sometimes 80% negative or more. BUT you have a choice to listen to the 20% positive. You have a choice to CHOOSE the harder path. The path leas followed because it takes effort and conviction to finish.

It’s your choice to choose the voice that lifts you up rather than makes you fall.

Choose the voice that raises your vibrations instead of squashes your dreams.

Choose light.

Choose the path that makes your heart beat.

WONDERFUL WHISPERS-

When it comes in like a sweet serenade
I know it’s You, my helper.
But the squeals whisper quiet, strange
A place where uncertainty will prosper
(It’s not you.)

You ask which one?
I say ‘that’s fun’
Cause the world will fill up with that clutter.
When I turn inside
And intimately abide (by)
My spirit won’t torment me any longer.

So I bid adieu
To the unknown clue
And the group of followers of disaster.

Hello my love,
I know you’re from above
So for now, I can grow in this wonder.

He is Risen!! Happy Resurrection Sunday 🙌🏻@

Lots of rules were broken during this week-long break. These boundaries were broken, yet fully allowed. When we remove the boundaries it takes the pressure off. When we remove the rules it relaxes our nervous system and frees our brains. Sometimes you have to switch from logical-thinking to heart-feeling. I fully support you in breaking things down and offering yourself a chance to unravel what you have wound up in your own mind. Remove the routines that your brain does on auto-Pilot. Now you can notice and really feel the moments. Dive into the little moments of your day that usually get lost. Allow yourself to get lost in your own precious moments.

Since Milton kept us home for 4 days we were ready to leave the nest! We are blessed that God kept us safe as we only lost some shingles. Our resilience is growing and we are happy to enjoy some Florida fall scenes and breezes.

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. -Psalm 91:4

This beautiful girl I am honored she calls me her mama. Love her to pieces💗 #nationaldaughtersday

Do you live in a city or place that is really busy and stimulating? Or do you feel like your own home is filled with too much sensory challenges like loud noises and clutter in your environment like child’s toys?

If you get overwealmed by many noises and questions being asked from your kids, not having order and routine in your days or messes lying around making it difficult for you to visually sort through them how do you tackle these every day challenges?

Sometimes you have to take a break and separate yourself from the environment that overstimulates and challenges you.

First try physically removing yourself from the actual environment by taking a stroll to go explore what other senses you can use more efficiently and calmly. Going outside in nature to hear the birds and see the flowers and trees is always a great place to start.

Then if you cannot physically leave your environment cause you have a baby or child sleeping or need to be close by your computer know that you have the opportunity to visualize these spaces for you to take a brain break from your acute environment.

Bodies of water symbolize renewal and adaptability. They help you pursue an inward energy to help return to your inner self and find peace in the place where your being is conserved and accumulated for you to store up for your own good. When you take these brain breaks you keep
Your glass full rather than empty out the water that our body is mostly made of. You know your body is made of around 80% water right? So go try finding a way to incorporate this element in your
Day to bring stillness in your mind so you can tackle your day and all
The information that is being transported in your direction!

You can!
You are able!

In health,

Dr Amanda

What do exercising, eating and acupuncture ALL have in common?

They release endorphins!

Endorphins are ‘feel-good’ chemicals made by the body to help reduce pain and keep mood stable and positive. This is why it feels so good after you work out and move your body.

Starting your day with exercise gives you the best start to your day. Or you can take even a small break during your day to break up any repetitive , monotonous feelings in your brain that can boost your mood quickly. Taking a break will not only refresh your mind from your work, career, homework or taking care of the kids BUT it will also give you more space to tackle any stressors or strenuous activity that comes your way the rest of the day.

So next time, when the kids break your favorite mug or are running around your house, you can build up your capacity to talk to them with calm and create a peaceful environment inside your body (even when your external environment is loud and messy!)

Happy Father’s Day to this special dad that never stops helping, laughing, playing and having fun with these kids. Thank you for your energy , your love, your persistence and loads of laughing.

Xo love you

Music is a great way to distract your brain. It’s a way to organize your thoughts when your mind is scattered. When your surroundings are discombobulating, when you’re feeling dysregulated, music can help you tap into giving your brain a rhythm. This repetitive sound and calm melody of music gives your brain a steady beat. When your brain is disorganized, you can feed it with organized sounds including music, instrumentals, tapping your feet or hands to a rhythm or beat (and there’s no need to have practice playing that instrument!) Your brain will naturally be drawn to the slow, calm, steady beat that creates a new pathway in your brain waves.

These are my favorite little humans. Being a mama is the hardest and most important job I have. My heart is so big sharing the love and all the emotions with them. Thank you God for allowing me to shepherd them into the best versions of themselves. It is an honor. Much love to all the moms doing the hard work.

There are many lessons to learn from the world around us, especially in nature. Many actions or processes of growth or patterns can be seen as a mirror to different physiological movements inside our bodies.

Chinese Medicine uses nature as a basis of study to learn how the intricate workings of our body systems maintain balance.

Waves in the ocean are created by wind. Wind in Chinese medicine is inconsistent and uncontrollable. This process creates a pattern of waves that change the movement of water.

I can relate this process to our brains. Some inputs or stressors that enter the brains relay center are received and they create updates to the brainwave patterns we have.

When we add inputs to increase delta wave activity including warm baths, relaxing music or breathing techniques, we prepare our brains for restful sleep.

How do you feed your brain?
