AcuDetox: Healing in Community
BreatheReceive Co.
There is something powerful about healing alongside other people. That’s one of the reasons I love AcuDetox - a simple, non-verbal ear acupuncture practice that creates space to slow down, soften, and receive.
AcuDetox uses the NADA 5-Needle Protocol, with up to five small, sterile, single-use needles gently placed at specific points in each ear. People may experience a greater sense of calm, relaxation, or presence - and there’s no “right” way to experience it.
What makes this practice especially meaningful to me is its grassroots history. The protocol grew out of community-based care at Lincoln Hospital in the South Bronx during the 1970s, amid activism for more accessible approaches to health and recovery. That history continues to influence how I share this work today - we heal in community.
Through BreatheReceive Co., I offer AcuDetox alongside Conscious Breathwork, Reiki, EVOX, ear seeds, ear bling, somatic practices, sound, workshops & events. I also love bringing these practices into yoga studios, retreats, workplaces & community spaces. I’m also a co-owner and retreat curator of Freebird Valley Collective, a Colorado mountain retreat space centered around gathering, connection, and community.
Everything is an invitation. Take what lands.
