Something in you
is ready.

Not just to feel better, but to understand yourself more deeply, move through what's been staying stuck, and find your way back to a life that actually feels like yours.

This is a space to slow down, turn inward, and find, with gentleness and honesty, what's actually been asking for your attention.

Maring Higa, Acupuncturist in Encinitas CA

You're not here because something is wrong.
You're here because something is ready.

You haven't lost yourself, but somewhere between everything you're holding and everything you're building, you've drifted from the part of you that knows exactly who you are. This is how you find your way back.

Sessions Here Aren't Typical Acupuncture Appointments

Yes, I'm a licensed acupuncturist, and we do talk about your body, your cycle, what's been showing up physically. That matters and I take it seriously.

But Chinese medicine has never seen the body as separate from everything else. The emotions live in the body. The stories we carry live in the body. And often, what's showing up physically is asking us to pay attention to something deeper.

So while you're here, I might guide you through a visualization, or help you connect to a part of yourself that's been trying to get your attention. Using parts work and somatic awareness, we make contact with what's actually alive in you right now.

Then you rest on the table, needles in place, while your body integrates what just moved through you.

You know yourself better than anyone. I just help you hear that.

You Might Be in the Right Place If…

01

You're in the middle of a transition

A relationship, a career, a season of life, and you sense that how you've been doing things isn't going to carry you through what's next.

02

You've been doing the work

Therapy, self-inquiry, personal growth, and you're ready to bring your body into it. To go deeper than talking alone can take you.

03

Something essential has been running on low

Not burned out exactly, but aware that you've been drifting from the part of yourself that knows who you are and what you actually need.

04

You're on a fertility journey

And you know that what happens on the inside matters just as much as what happens in the clinic. You want to be supported as a whole person, not just a patient.

05

You're thoughtful and ready

You don't want to be managed or bypassed. You want to actually move through something and come out the other side more fully yourself.

This work asks something of you

Not perfection, just a willingness to look honestly and with compassion at what's been getting in your way. The women who get the most from this are the ones who show up ready to participate, not just receive.

Maring Higa, Licensed Acupuncturist and AMFT

I came to this work
the long way around.

I trained as an acupuncturist at Pacific College of Oriental Medicine, and before that studied Contemplative Psychology at Naropa University, so the body-mind connection has always been the thread running through everything I do.

Over the years I've woven in parts work, somatic practices, and inner voice work. What I've found is that the most profound shifts happen not when I do something to someone, but when I help them make contact with what's already alive inside them.

I am also an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, which means I hold this work with clinical depth and ethical care.
