Hona Backstrom on practice as essential to becoming a practitioner, acupressure points to manage fear, and embodiment as a foundation for health.

Hona Backstom  is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and a board certified acupuncturist and herbalist. Hona shares about how her experience of dance was seminal in finding within a sense of embodiment.  She speaks about embodiment on seveal levels: pesonal, professional and from a Chinese medicine perspective.  She also provides some gentle guidance into acupressure points that help with curbing fear, during this pandemic. Hona reminds us that illness manifests differently in different bodies, so embodiment as a practice of conscious connection and observation of ones own body, is an essential part of empowering both health and wellbeing. Hona offers both virtual consultations and in person acupuncture treatments.  She can be found at www.bluebirdwell.com and on Instagram at Backstrom_acupuncture.
