I just wanted to take a minute to say "Hello" without my mask. I know it's been awhile since we've been able to see each other face to face. And for my new patients, I know we've never even met without our masks on. And while I'm so grateful that we've been able to continue with our acupuncture sessions and be just as safe as possible, I know that it can be challenging. I'm so grateful for everyone who has been continuing with sessions and I know this isn't going to last forever. So, until then, I will see you Masks ON!"

The goal being free flow through the body. In this article, Dr. Lee uses a similar metaphor, comparing Chinese medicine to freeing traffic on the highways. Read more here.
