We are now in the full stride of Fire time, the heat is on, this is where the rubber meets the road. Everything is at the height of openness, the most Yang state. It is time to connect and engage. It is no mistake that these fiery inclinations are synchronized with the events that are currently transpiring around us on both micro and macro- levels. How are we going to let our hearts direct us in truth and action? How do we stay open and not shut down in the face of the unthinkable? In what way do we use our voices to be effective?

And the response… Fire opens it’s big mouth and unfurls a long red tongue, the answer it joyfully laughs is love. Fire non-discriminantly pours it’s warmth…
Have you ever wondered why the main figure in most fairytales do exactly what they were told not to do? “Don’t stray from the path” Red riding hood’s mother cautions her, then she directly gets lured off the path by some delectable berries. I always thought that I would do as I was told if I were her, because it would cause a lot less trouble for everyone. But when I reflect on my life’s decisions, I did not do what I was told and I made a lot of trouble and a lot of mess for myself and plenty of others. It is not wise to do what we are told, it is wise to break out and make mistakes. That is where the growth and the transformation happens. That is how we get to know ourselves. We learn how to make repairs and know our own inner voices.…
“I have been working with Jipala since early Spring. She is a careful listener, and is able to draw upon a wealth of knowledge from her training, along with the gift of a healer’s intuition. Her assessments resonate with me, and that allows me to feel I am in good hands with her. I’m seeing changes slowly, and steadily. I highly recommend her work.” L.P

We have worked on my joint pain, Bell’s Palsy, sleep, and on integrating my psychotherapy with my physical body. As a physician, I really appreciate her ability to root out the information she needs to design and implement a very effective treatment. I very highly recommend her!” K.K

LIfe changing “I’m not sure I am even able to explain the positive experiences I’ve had with Jipala. I have been seeing her for about 4 years now. I have been going to acupuncture since 2010, and Jipala is the top. She doesn’t only ‘treat’ what may be ailing; she delves deeper into the work (whole being) behind the needling. She has changed my life in ways I can’t even begin to thank her for. She is trustworthy, professional, kind and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, she is the best!” A.N
Remarkable Practitioner Jipala is highly skilled at treating a broad variety of health concerns. An advantage to acupuncture, of course, is that the practitioner can treat the whole person, focusing on several ailments at once. To put it bluntly, this saves time and money. More importantly, though, her treatments are so effective. If find that I feel improvement immediately upon leaving her office, whether the concerns are body aches, intestinal un-ease, congestion, or fatigue. She is very good at what she does. S.G
