Explorations & Clinical Observations
Welcome. This "blog" hosts my ongoing thinking: clinical observations, patterns I've noticed, deep dives into how different modalities work, etc.
Unlike the rest of my website, which is geared to helping someone who is new figure out if this work is right for them, this "blog" allows me to explore the thinking behind the frameworks, so my understanding can expand and you can see real examples of this work in action.
These pieces are written for people who:
-
Want to understand how things work
-
Are curious about how Esogetic Medicine, Felt Safety, RestoreChi, and Unique Psychology connect with real life examples
-
Are ready to think differently about what symptoms mean
I have gone through major shifts in my thinking as I have applied more of this work to myself, so older articles may have a different tone than newer articles. My understanding deepens as I continue to do the work and my body and life teach me what is right and what needs to be revised.
If something resonates with you and you want to explore further, or if you see a gap or have a question, reach out.

Beyond the Fracture: Transforming Physical Breaks into Conscious Shifts
Why bones and teeth can break over the course of Esogetic treatment, and what a chipped tooth and a dream taught me about authority, digestion, and the pancreas.

The Five (emotional) Poisons: What They Are, and Why Master Yan Addresses Them (with his specialty tracks)
In Traditional Chinese Medicine and Esogetic Medicine, physical illness has an emotional/mental/information component — a background layer that physical treatment (even removal) alone doesn't reach. Master Yan (founder of RestoreChi) calls this layer the Five Poisons: 贪 (tān) — Greed Greed doesn't have to mean greed for money. It can mean wanting a child to follow a particular path, wanting attention or recognition, or trying to control an outcome that was never fully within

From All illness has 8 Stages to Liver Stagnation as the Root of All Problems - how what Master Yan shares compares to Esogetic Medicine
Master Yan sent us this: "Depression, Joint Pain, Yellow Skin, Poor Sleep — Actually One Problem You go to the hospital but they can't find anything. Yet the problem is real and present. ------------------------------------------------------- 1. Do You Have These Problems? Joint pain, especially in the tendons and bones — ache here, hurt there.

Every lesson between us is yours and mine
This article has been on hold for a while, I was just waiting for the right pieces to come together. A couple days ago I started watching Eli Stone on Disney+ Canada. I find it interesting how so many people are interested in seeing that everything is connected, we see what we need to see when we need to see it, in order to find our life path, and heal our unresolved wounds. And unfortunately, like Eli Stone, I seem to experience learning through pain, in order to know how to

From Carrots to Classroom — Helping Kids Feel Safe in their Body and in the World
Who this article is for If your child toe-walks, struggles with transitions, scans every room for signs of danger or safety, holds deep grudges against certain people, can be demanding and have extreme separation anxiety, demands the same limited comfort foods foods, has minimal patience, hits their head or scratches their face when overwhelmed, and cannot tolerate unpredictable people who do not respect their limits — this article is for you.

Preventing Depression, Clearing Acne, and Improving Self-Care with Unique Health and Unique Psychology
Two years ago (April, 2024), shortly after getting my Kirlian camera, I took my son to see Master Yan with his 7th kirlian photo: How I would read this photo now differs from what I knew then. Now I can see that his mental health and self-care were not in place, he was coping by dissociating, and he didn't have sufficient hormonal regulation to pump garbage out of his body, and sleep might be a challenge. If he were an adult, and not my child, I would have started trying to r

In what way is Alahnnaa Campbell a holistic health practitioner — and what does she mean when she says autism, ADHD, mental health, or past trauma can get better?
There is a scene in a medical drama where a surgeon says: "I'm a surgeon. I don't do prevention." That's the difference between what mainstream medicine offers and what I do. But like a surgeon, I also assess risk before choosing a path forward. Why I can't always start with physical healing When someone comes to me with serious physical symptoms — cancer relapse, serious systemic illness, debilitating accident — my first question is not "what is wrong with the body?" It is "

Why You're Up at 3am — and What the TCM Clock, Pain, Unique Psychology, and Kirlian Are Telling You
I know better. And still, after giving in to one ice cream and two crazy breads, I'm awake before 3am with my right arm still in pain, my vision blurring as my arm heals (better when I go outside than when I sit too long at my computer/screens), and my liver doing exactly what the TCM clock says it would be doing at this hour — trying to clean up. This article is about what happens when we self-sabotage, what the body does in response, and what the TCM clock teaches us about

Warm the uterus, heal the life
I almost skipped writing this article, but I was drawn to circle back because it is important. What the uterus carries The uterus is not just a reproductive organ. It is the first environment. What it contains — the mother's unresolved conflicts, her accumulated toxins, her hormonal state, her sense of safety in the world — has an impact on her developing fetus. A woman's first born tends to carry the bulk of what she has taken up until the baby's birth. This is not blame. It

Pain is due to embodied chill — how we cope with it determines if chill can escape and we get better, or if chill gets compounded and we get worse
Pain is the body's way of telling us that chill is stuck inside our body and is looking for a way to escape. Chill causes bracing. Bracing prevents rest, sleep, and recovery. Over time, people develop deep creases in their face or body — from years of holding tension they did not know how to release. The body molds itself around what it is trying to silence and keep away from the heart. What determines whether chill resolves or compounds is almost never the chill itself. It i

How RestoreChi sees conditions like gout, diabetes, excess weight, and carpal tunnel — what to do when medication does more harm than good
Most people think of diabetes as a blood sugar problem. RestoreChi and TCM see it differently — and the difference matters because, by the time blood sugar shows up in a test, the body has already been compensating for a long time. A distribution problem, not a blood sugar problem The liver converts carbohydrates to glucose. The small intestine absorbs nutrients. The spleen distributes what has been absorbed — sending white and red blood cells, calcium, and nutrients to where

The body puts up red flags for years — what we can learn by using RestoreChi to treat a stage 4 cancer case
The warning signs were there for years before the diagnosis. This is what happened when RestoreChi was part of the treatment, what made survival possible beyond a prognosis of months, and why addressing the emotional root matters more than most people are willing to accept.

Symptoms and Signs in Puberty and Perimenopause are an indication of what the body needs - sciatica and acne
I fell asleep treating sciatica directly. It helped a little but didn't clear. When I moved support to my left kidney instead, the pain finally released by morning. The loudest symptom isn't always the root — and perimenopause is one of the times that matters most.

Using the new RestoreChi Water Card (+ Dampness Release) to step into the RestoreChi Monthly and Specialty Tracks
This video shows the many uses for the old RestoreChi Water Card, but when it came to taking a bath, those who carry a lot of “dampness” (congestion, heaviness, recurring inflammation) needed to use 2-4 cards at a time, and feeling better often came at the cost of severe detox symptoms (nausea, dizziness, sweating it out). You would also often see sticky thick yellow discharge on the walls of the bath after draining the water, and you would need to charge your shampoo with th
