Malaya Acupuncture and Wellness Center

When was the last time you paid attention to your self-talk? Do you talk your self up or down? About a decade ago I learned to write positive affirmations on note cards from an amazing motivational speaker @thebriantracy. At first I thought it was super corny to read notes cards with positive affirmations on them. But after committing to doing this every morning for a good while, I really started to see the difference in my inner self-talk. I felt more confident, positive ...and vibrant to name a few. Since I am a holistic heath practitioner, part of my work is not only to heal my clients of their ailments, but also to guide them to one of the most important pursuit of all: happiness. I believe a positive view of the self is a key component to that. There are many expensive courses and fancy tools that will show you how to change your self-talk; however, writing positive self affirmations on note cards can also do the trick See more

What are you grateful for lately? We are slowly getting back to normal in the clinic and I am happy about the amazing job we have been doing to keep everything safe and up to standards these past few months.

Have you taken your MEDS today?

This in general is responsible for my high energy and overall vitality I... have to practice what I preach - I want to hear about your MEDS routine. Please comment and share below See more

Did you know that cupping therapy has been used for over 2000 years? Popularized by Chinese medicine (or maybe the Olympic swimmer Micheal Phelps ), historically, it also has a track record for being used in the Middle East, some parts of Europe, and also Latin America. So what’s cupping used for? Here are the main reasons people get cupping in my clinic @malayawellness : muscle pain, circulation, speeds up recovery time after a workout and relaxation. Cupping like acupunc...ture, is a great alternative treatment for pain and many other ailments. . . . #malayawellness #cuppingtherapy #acupuncture #natureishealing #healing #pain #chinesemedicine #anxietyrelief #oakland #holistichealth #womenhealth #painrelief #vitality

During these stressful times, remember to take time for self care. Cortisol, a hormone released when the body is under stress, suppresses the effectiveness of the immune system to fight infections. Our fight against #covid19 is not over, so please take some time to for self care: meditate, practice mindful breathing, eat healthy foods, and exercise (safely) daily to help lower the stress hormones in the body. With much love and support ...
