Things I Love
I refer all my patients to Sandra Lanshin for Gua Sha education. I love the tools from Sandra as well as the many gua sha videos and education she provides for everyone!
I love these protein bars! They are made with real food and made locally here in LA- if you know me you know Papa Steve
Lance is Esalen trained massage therapist based in the Lockhart/Austin area and I can’t recommend them enough!
I am a big fan of my wooden squatty potty, the one I have is similar to the one I share here.
I recommend this video to patients and friends to help strengthen our lungs either post-illness or to prevent illness.
I love this oil made by my friend and Ayurvedic practitioner Sheila Govindarajan of Rasa Veda Healing. It is one of the many tools in my toolkit that keeps me healthy.
I have been using this spray since 2007! It is the perfect spray to use after a hot day in the sun (helps to prevent sunburns). I keep mine in the fridge. It is one of my favorite smells!
Cookma is semi prepared food designed for postpartum mothers, BUT I recommend them to people who are busy and/or have a hard time cooking for themselves and need nourishing food to have at home. I love their congee so much!
You can use the code: dayacupuncture for 20% off :)
The best hair cuts of my life have been from Ryann- she is very talented and recommend her to everyone. She works in LA, NY & Portland.
one of my favorite albums of all time, I play this album during many of my acupuncture treatments!
I love my Berkey, I have had mine for 8 years now. It is the best water filter!

Maggie’s organic Compression Socks

Dope is Death (documentary)
Mia Donovan made this documentary in 2020 about Mutulu Shakur and the Lincoln Detox Program which was the first acupuncture detoxification program in the US that was started by the Young Lords & the Black Panthers. Everyone should watch this documentary.
Wild Care
I have been using this Hydrosol and other products from Wildcare for nearly a decade. I use this hydrosol for any skin irritation, especially after shaving. It is perfect to have in your medicine cabinet just in case!
Lakota Nation vs The United States
Everyone needs to watch this documentary.
My favorite handsoap at home and in the clinic. I am a big fan of this especially for days in the clinic where I am washing my hands non stop and unlike other soaps doesn’t irritate my skin!
my favorite desert/treat in all of LA! Indonesian vegan gluten free ice cream!
Highly recommend Andrea (here in LA) ! I have only ever had facials from her. She is so knowledgable and will make the best tailored recommendations for you and your needs and not based on just buying more products.
Somatic Coaching with Morgan Bassichis
I can’t emphasize how helpful working with Morgan has been, their somatic coaching is a gift!
Dao Of Nutrition
by Dr. Maoshing Ni
Very helpful book that discusses Food Energetics. Out of print possibly, but not hard to track down.
This gel/cream is the best for any aches and pain, chronic or acute and recommend to my patients.
I love The Wax Apple. They have so many wonderful gua sha/ massage body tools all from Taiwan.
