Your Summer Update
Greetings my darlings. This is my first missive from France where I am now safely ensconced within the ancient village of Najac. The people who live here are earnest and kind and helpful, and I am starting to drop into the community. What I am most struck by is the simple pacing of their lives. People are energetic yet gentle. Every meeting elicits cheerful conversation and there is never any rush. Meanwhile, the ground below me contains loads of quartz, and I’m surrounded by rivers and hills, birds and trees. Everyone here seems to sense that these things and other people are what matter most, and so I am learning to live in a tight-knit village where everyone knows my name. And I have already become beholden to the ways of this calming place.
I wanted to write to you sooner, then my health suffered a few blows which have delayed me. These things have kept me humble and actually quite peaceful. I have slept through most of my recovery process, and am now finding my footing again with help from herbal medicine and and long walks. Not to mention the deeply enjoyable physical labor of settling into a 300 yr old stone house and workshop! Everyday is full of beauty and delicious challenges.
To my LA patients, I want you to know that my heart is with you while you continue to recover from the fires. I hope to visit LA at least once a year to provide acupuncture, more on that later. And for everyone in the US, please hold strong with all the self-love you can muster. Your love is the reason that your communities thrive. Thank you for all you do to be an ally and a guardian to those who need you.
I would like to share the first message from my new home. I had a moment of calm by the fire and I felt her join me there. My first question was “What do we need to know about you?”. Her response came rushing into my chest like a rogue wave, “We love you already.” My second question, “What can we do for you?” Her answer, “Love each other well, for therein lies the potency of the magic of a home.”
I am excited to start catching up with everyone again! Book online anytime, and text me if you have any questions at all. Please scroll thru the headers below to see if the info pertains to you. Take good care of yourselves, and then each other.
I love you all dearly.
Yours, Kit.
Reaching Out to Kit
I can still be reached on the same US line as before, and if you live in Europe you may request my French number via email or by texting the US line.
Appointment Times:

7am-11am PT | 8am-12pm MT | 9am-1pm CT | 10am-2p ET | 4pm-8pm France
Other options upon request.
Herbal Medicine and Acupuncture
I am doubling down on herbal medicine since it is a comprehensive and complete medicine, and because I can handwrite and prescribe formulas to be compounded and shipped anywhere in the US. My partner, Fat Turtle Pharmacy in LA, has extremely high quality herbs. Formulary can be decocted into a liquid from raw herbs, or combined in granular form. Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine can both access health for you, and TCM has some of the most potent herbal strategies on the planet. Herbalism is why I chose this medicine from the very beginning!
Also, please reach out to me if you would like for me to find you a local acupuncturist. You can then sign my HIPAA shared-information form if you wish for us to work in tandem. There are some instances when I feel acupuncture is better than herbal medicine and vice versa, though this is quite rare. It is far more common that using both modalities would be helpful. I’m happy to match you with someone special. Please email me for this free service.
My acupuncture practice in France could be opening sometime this fall.
Choosing Your Services
My appointments have changed a bit, you will see a couple of new options. These are broken down on my Services page. Of note, if you would like time to discuss a new health problem alongside receiving an energy treatment, please book the Qigong Energy Medicine + Updated Rx. This will give us enough time to comprehensively address your changing needs, and allow me time to write or choose your formula.
Other new options include Herbal Strategy appointments. Please book these when you wish to discuss your health comprehensively. We’ll dig into your health concerns both new and old, and together we will make a long-term strategy.
Free options now include 15 min Q&A sessions for all general inquiries, and 15 min Herbal Updates for addressing your current formulary needs as they change.
Lastly, I want to mention the Acute Herbal appointment. This is an great option for illness or recovery needs, and you can use it for your travel preparedness as well. You can travel this summer with cold/flu, and intestinal/digestional formulas on hand. I’m happy to make a specific plan based on your needs and the locations you are visiting. I also have prevention formulas for malaria, covid, allergies, and parasites. If you will be traveling to higher elevations or traveling for athletic endeavors, I have oxygenation formulas. Please travel prepared, it’s so much more enjoyable!
Treatment Regularity
For most of my patients, monthly or quarterly visits will support you best. If you need more support, you may wish to receive a series of weekly treatments or start Qigong Meditation training. I’m here for you – whatever you need.
New Patients
I will start accepting new patients again in September. I first want to make sure all of you have time to book with me this summer. Always feel free to share my info with your loved ones, and if someone dear to you has a pressing need, I will make an effort to work with them.
Akashic Records Readings
Readings with me are similar to Qigong Energy Treatments and include Qigong as needed. The difference is that the work centers on communication over treatment. We speak with the same Guides of the Light of your Truest Heart that we do during Qigong Medicine sessions. We ask them the questions you are currently asking yourself so that you may receive their support, clarity, and encouragement.
