Everyone around you is getting sick. What can you do before you’re next? 🤧

Someone at work has a cold. Your family is passing something around. Suddenly, every cough you hear has you wondering if you’re next.

Instead of waiting until you’re already feeling run-down, this is a good time to think about how you’re supporting your body through the season.

Regular acupuncture may help support immune function and can be one part of a broader approach to staying well through the seasonal changes, stress, and packed schedules that come with fall. 🍂

Looking for acupuncture in Wellesley? Come see us at Stepping Stone Acupuncture & Wellness and give your body some support before the season gets the best of you!

Craniosacral therapy for kids might be something you’ve never thought to look into. 😮

Unlike treatments that can feel intimidating to a child, craniosacral therapy uses a gentle, hands-on approach. For children ages 0–12, the focus is on helping release deeply stored tension and restore balance in the body.

And the reasons families may look into it can vary quite a bit.

Craniosacral therapy may be helpful for anxiety, ADHD, headaches, dental pain, and post-concussion symptoms. It may also be helpful for infants experiencing adjustment or developmental changes.

Think craniosacral therapy could be a good fit for your child? Consider making their first appointment at Stepping Stone Acupuncture & Wellness in Wellesley today!

Please note: A parent or guardian must be present for the first session. Additional pediatric consent and supervision requirements apply. ‼️

Pregnancy changes more than your growing belly. Your back, hips, and muscles can feel it too.

The way you sit, sleep, walk, and carry yourself can shift throughout pregnancy, contributing to new areas of tension or discomfort. 🤰🏻

And you don’t have to wait until your second trimester to book a prenatal massage! Prenatal massage is available throughout pregnancy, from the day your test turns positive through the day you go into labor. 😲

Prenatal massage can help ease back and hip tension related to these postural shifts, while giving muscles that are working overtime a chance to relax. Gentle massage can also support circulation and fluid movement, which may help with swelling.

And sometimes, having dedicated time to simply slow down and unwind is just as important. 😄

Labor is unpredictable. Having ways to work through it together can make a difference. 🤰🏽

Movement as Medicine is a couples workshop designed to help you and your support person prepare for labor and delivery together.

Marissa Farrell brings years of experience as a childbirth educator, birth doula, yoga instructor, and advanced prenatal massage therapist.

She’ll guide you and your support person through breathing techniques, movement, and comfort measures to use during labor and delivery. The workshop also gives you a chance to ask questions and feel more prepared for what’s ahead.

This class is for mothers-to-be and the person they plan to have by their side for support during birth.

The $50 class fee covers both attendees. Join us at Stepping Stone Studios in Wellesley on Saturday, October 17 from 2–4 PM.

There’s a lot you can’t plan about labor. What you can do is go into it with more tools and confidence. Book your place in the workshop and start preparing together! 😄

You spend most of your day responding to what’s happening around you. This hour asks you to listen to what’s happening within. 👂🏽

Mantra & the Body is a sound bath experience at Stepping Stone Studios that brings together mantra, crystal singing bowls, breath, gentle somatic practices, silence, and meditation. 🧘🏽‍♀️

Led by Dima Bosko, the experience creates space to slow down, settle into the body, and step away from the constant activity of everyday life.

There’s nothing to achieve and no experience with mantra, meditation, or somatic practice is needed!

Join us on October 15 from 6–7 PM | $30 per session.

If slowing down rarely makes it onto your schedule, this might be exactly the kind of evening you’ve been missing! 😉

Plot twist: allergy season didn’t end with spring. 🤧🍂

You know the feeling. You’re ready for crisp mornings, changing leaves, and finally opening the windows again… and suddenly the sneezing starts.

Then comes the congestion, itchy eyes, scratchy throat, sinus pressure, headaches, or even that foggy feeling that makes it harder to focus.

If fall tends to bring these symptoms back every year, acupuncture is one option you may not have considered.

Acupuncture may help manage seasonal allergy symptoms and related discomfort, giving you another option for getting through allergy season.

Fall allergies don’t have to take over your season. Schedule an acupuncture appointment and find out if it could be a good fit for you. 🍂

The needle might be the smallest part of acupuncture, but it can be the biggest reason people avoid it. 🤔

Acupuncture needles are incredibly thin. Much thinner than the needles used for shots or blood draws. 😮

For some people, insertion goes completely unnoticed. Others feel a quick prick, similar to a mosquito bite, before the sensation disappears.

Once the needles are in, you might feel a little tingling, warmth, or pressure. You might not feel much at all. And if anything feels uncomfortable, your acupuncturist can simply adjust the needle.

If the needles have been the one thing keeping you from trying acupuncture, they may be much less intimidating than you expect.
