🌱🌿 April = Directed Growth 🌿🌱

April is when spring stops asking and starts moving. We’ve crossed the threshold of the equinox; light is longer, the ground has softened, and what began as potential in March is now turning into action. The body is no longer just waking up because it’s being asked to keep up. This is peak Liver season. Not the initial push, but the phase where movement needs direction. Growth without guidance becomes chaotic. This is where symptoms tend to shift from subtle to louder.

Instead of just feeling “off,” April can bring:

• sharper irritability or mood swings
• more pronounced PMS or cycle irregularity
• tension that lingers (neck, shoulders, jaw)
• digestive inconsistency (bloating, constipation, reflux)
• that sense of being pulled in too many directions at once

This isn’t excess but instead it’s unregulated movement.

Your system is trying to expand, but if the pathways aren’t clear or the structure isn’t there to hold it, things start to push sideways instead of forward. In Chinese medicine, this is where we shift from simply encouraging movement to guiding it. Supporting smooth circulation, keeping digestion online, and making sure the body has enough resources to sustain the pace. You have to decide how you’re going to move with it. Not by forcing more output, but by creating enough internal organization that your system can expand without burning out.

The year of Horse is no longer just moving, but it’s finding its direction.

A note about pricing: The in-office rate is now $180. For those paying in cash, the rate is $160.

Don’t see a time that works? Add yourself to the waitlist (Monday thru Thursday) and I’ll make sure you’re the first to know if something opens up or if I can expand my schedule. If you’ve got some flexibility, I can usually find a way to make it work on short notice.
