Why call my Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Practice ‘Reverence Story’

Reverence Story is a line to states clearly:

I stand in awe of the capacity, strength, compassion, determination and grit of women.

As women we’ve always understood on some level - our role is to keep quiet. Head down, hustle, work harder. Accept things the way they are.

This message screams loud through pregnancy, birth and motherhood.

Default community care is gone. We leave women to stand alone. Ill-equipped and under resourced.

Women are set up for failure and then asked to accept it as their own.

And. The story hasn’t always looked this way.

It doesn’t have to look this way.

It’s time to define our health and our experiences of these transitions through a lens of awe and possibility. The way we unravel, unveil and unfurl. The cracked-wide-open times.

It’s all entirely drenched in beauty.

It is a Reverence Story.

I’ve treated thousands of women walking through all sorts of challenges in clinical practice.

With my own eyes and my own heart I have witnessed women birth, triumph, grit, crawl, soar and thrive.

They are a Reverence Story.

‘Reverence Story’ is my intentional acknowledgement of the thread that weaves through all.

‘Reverence Story’ is a line to states clearly: I stand in awe of the capacity, strength, compassion, determination and grit of women.

We can reframe women’s health and maternal thriving from this perspective. This glory. This sense of awe.

This triumph. This power.

Just imagine what opens when we view ourselves and our stories from here.

Imagine what we deserve.
