When life is hard, how is it that poking people with needles is actually a gentle form of medicine, and what exactly is acupuncture without needles?!? Join my friend and acupuncturist Melea Alexander as we dive into a new definition of the modality she practices, how she invites women back into their bodies as a first step toward reversing burnout, and how women will finally be able to understand and step into our own worth.

Melea is a registered acupuncturist and herbalist practicing in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She has a background in visual art, spent a decade during young adulthood in artisanal bakeries and farm-to-fork kitchens, and worked as a birth and postpartum doula before embarking on a deep dive into Eastern medicine.
