What to Expect
What Actually Happens in a Session
We Begin by Talking
Not just about symptoms. We start with what's actually alive for you right now. What you're moving through, what keeps coming up, what you've been carrying. This is where the real work begins.
We Turn Inward
Using parts work and somatic awareness, we make contact with the parts of you that hold the answers. The ones that don't always get a chance to speak. I may guide you through a visualization or help you connect to something that's been asking for your attention.
You Rest on the Table
Needles are placed to support what just moved through you. Your body holds the space while everything integrates. This part matters as much as the conversation. The body often completes what words begin.
You Leave Differently Than You Arrived
People often leave feeling lighter, clearer, more like themselves. As if something that had been waiting a long time finally got to move.
You know yourself better than anyone
I don't come with the answers. I come with the tools to help you hear what's already there. Every session follows what's alive for you, not a predetermined protocol.
Chinese medicine sees the whole person
In Chinese medicine, the emotions live in the body. What shows up physically is often connected to what we carry emotionally. This work honors both.
Available weekly or bi-weekly
Regular sessions create momentum. Many clients find a rhythm of weekly or bi-weekly appointments that allows the work to deepen over time.

Is This Right For You
Inner Work Sessions Are a Good Fit If...
You want more than symptom relief
You're open to exploring the emotional and inner dimension of what's showing up in your body, not just treating the physical symptoms.
You're already doing inner work
You're in therapy or doing self-inquiry and you're ready to bring your body into it. To go deeper than talking alone can take you.
You want to feel held and challenged
You want a space that meets you with warmth and honesty. Not just soothing, but genuinely supportive of real movement and change.
You're in a transition
Something in your life is shifting and you want support that works with your whole self, not just one part of you.
You trust yourself
You believe you have access to your own answers. You're looking for someone to help you hear them more clearly.
You're ready to be consistent
This work builds. The women who get the most from it show up regularly and between sessions, notice what's alive.
The most profound shifts don't happen because I did something to someone.Maring Higa, Licensed Acupuncturist & AMFT
They happen when someone finally makes contact with what's already alive inside them.
