Welcome to the very first episode of In Your Element with Kathleen Kenneally, licensed acupuncturist, intuitive healer, and founder of Kenneally Acupuncture in Santa Clarita, California. In this debut episode, Kathleen dives into the energy of spring through the lens of Chinese medicine, exploring the Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—and how they influence our bodies, minds, and emotions. As we transition out of the Water element of winter and into the fresh, awakening energy of Wood in spring, Kathleen shares how this shift affects our health, mood, and motivation. She explains why spring is considered the true start of the year in many traditions, how liver and gallbladder function play a key role in our ability to detox and make decisions, and why feeling irritable or sluggish might just be your body trying to realign with the season. Kathleen also offers practical wellness tips, such as a simple morning detox practice with lemon water, insights into sleep disturbances connected to liver function, and ways to support your body's natural rhythms. She introduces the concept of seasonal acupuncture—a powerful treatment to help harmonize with the changing energy of the seasons—and invites listeners to experience her upcoming seasonal acupuncture event. Throughout the episode, Kathleen blends ancient wisdom with modern healing, sharing insights on intuition, stress management, and energy alignment to help you reconnect with your most vibrant, authentic self.
