Care for the Caregiver
Support for the Quiet Toll of Tending to Others
​
Caregiving takes strength—but it also takes something from you. Whether you’re raising children, tending to aging parents, showing up for clients, or carrying the emotional labor of a household, this kind of care can lead to a deep, often invisible depletion.
It’s not just physical exhaustion. It’s the slow erosion of space for yourself—mentally, emotionally, energetically. Over time, many caregivers begin to feel unmoored. Even when they’re still functioning outwardly, there’s often a quiet disconnection from the inner self.
Through acupuncture and East Asian Medicine, we tend to the systems most impacted by long-term giving. Care is gentle and built to support you in remembering who you are beyond what you provide.
Common Experiences We Support
-
Fatigue that rest doesn’t resolve

Feeling emotionally flat or disconnected from self

Caregiver burnout or anticipatory grief
-
Irritability, anxiety, or feeling constantly “on edge”

-
Trouble sleeping, resting, or asking for help
-
Guilt or difficulty receiving care
-
Chronic tension or digestive issues related to stress
Our Approach
We don’t treat symptoms—we support the whole person behind them. Together, we explore how caregiving has shaped your body, your energy, and your emotional rhythms. Treatment is designed to help regulate, replenish, and reconnect—restoring what’s been stretched thin or quietly eroded.
Sessions may include:
-
Acupuncture to calm the nervous system and support emotional resilience
-
Herbal medicine to rebuild depleted systems and regulate hormones or sleep
-
Moxibustion for enhanced vitality and inner warmth
This is not about fixing you. It’s about giving back to the one who’s been holding so much for so long.
What to Expect
You don’t need to be in crisis to receive this care. Many caregivers wait until they’re completely burned out before seeking support—but you’re allowed to tend to yourself along the way. You don’t have to justify it. You’re allowed to receive.
