Auricular Acupuncture - What is it?
Auricular acupuncture is acupuncture that is utilized on the ear. There are multiple maps that can be used, but the predominant map of points is based on the homunculus theory. The homunculus theory shows a map based off the neurological distribution in the body, and is displayed as an overlay of an upside “infant” with large hands, feet, and head.
Massage as Healing: Touch, Trust, and Nervous System Care for Queer & Neurodivergent Folks
For a lot of people I work with, touch is complicated. Maybe because of trauma, dysphoria, chronic pain conditions, or just feeling like their body has never been a safe or comfortable place. A lot of folks are used to dissociating, or shutting down sensations to get through the day.
Massage can offer a way to reconnect with your body in a safe, supportive environment. The pace is slow. There’s lots of communication. You’re always in control of what happens in the session, and nothing is assumed.

How to Support Your Trans Child, Part 15: Let Go, Accept, Grieve
Raising a child is filled with dreams, expectations, and milestones. However, when your child comes out as transgender, those expectations may suddenly shift, and parents can experience a range of emotions that may feel overwhelming. In this crucial time, it is important to remember that your child’s journey is theirs, and one of the most significant ways to support them is by processing your own emotions and learning to let go of the future you envisioned for them. It’s natural to feel confused, afraid, or even grieve the loss of the identity you thought your child had.

How to Support Your Trans Child, Part 8: Follow Their Lead

It’s essential to provide the support they need while respecting their pace, as this gives them the confidence to explore who they are in a safe and nurturing environment. Whether your child is considering seeing a gender therapist, trying out a new name, or using different pronouns, your role as a parent is to maintain open dialogue and offer empathy and understanding.
