A Better Night's Sleep at Your Fingertips
In this 90-minute workshop, you'll learn a tool to support you if you're:
-
having trouble falling asleep
-
sleeping lightly
-
waking up frequently at night
-
having trouble falling back asleep
-
still feeling tired when you wake up in the morning
or
-
longing to get better rest and wake up feeling restored and recharged
You'll be learning:
-
8 self-massage acupressure points to help yourself fall asleep, stay asleep, and wake up rested
-
a brief qigong practice for clearing emotional stagnation before sleep (the one thing I do for myself every night - even when I'm to tired to do anything)
-
and how + why to fall in love with sleep, according to Chinese Medicine wisdom
The final 25 minutes of this workshop was devoted to Q&A. You'll hear answers to questions about waking up at specific times; racing thoughts; abdominal discomfort; and more.
You'll also receive:
-
a printable handout with illustrations of all the points
-
a downloadable audio with a guided practice, so you can hear me walk you through this as many times as you want
-
lifetime access to the workshop recording + the Comments section to ask me any questions that come up as you integrate this into your life
You'll walk away with a self-care routine you can use regularly to promote your restorative sleep, AND knowledge of the points you can use for quick support.

I endured poor sleep for years.
I slept poorly because I stayed up too late; because I was sleeping lightly, on mama-alert for the sounds of my babies; because I went to bed stressed; because I had to wake up too early...
But still, I could have been much more well-rested.
We can get to a point where we believe it's normal to feel tired all the time.
Is this familiar? "How are you?" "Good... Tired, but good."
Or how about, "I'm so tired - why can't I just fall asleep?"
Or, "I just slept for 9 hours. Why am I still tired?"
The truth is, it's possible to get deep, restful sleep, even when the conditions aren't ideal. Our bodies are made to
-
clear stagnation
-
fall asleep easily
-
stay asleep
-
and wake up restored.
If we remove the blockages and support healthy function, we sleep so much better.
Once I started prioritizing restorative sleep, everything changed for me.
My mood, my physical health, my mental clarity, my capacity to take care of my family and serve my patients.
I always prioritize healthy sleep for my patients.
Poor sleep -- as you well know if you don't sleep well -- makes everything harder.
And good sleep helps everything.
Hi, I'm Leilani
and I would love to help you feel better. Giving you a natural, empowering tool to find relief and stay well - that's one of my favorite things to do.
I'm a Licensed Acupuncturist and Herbalist in Irvine, California. Every day, I help people with my own hands (and needles), AND by teaching them to support their own well-being. I help people understand how to heal and experience optimal fertility, through food, therapeutic exercise, diving deep into their own dreams, and self-massage with acupressure. I've taught Fertility Awareness since 2006, and in been in practice as an acupuncturist and herbalist since 2012.
As an acupuncturist, I can (and frequently do) put needles in myself. But even for me, acupressure is much more straightforward to work into my day.
I can do it for 1 minute, or 20 minutes.
All I need is my hands.
I turn to acupressure every day, whether to ease a headache, relieve allergy symptoms, or simply prepare for restful sleep.
When I'm not doing acupuncture or acupressure on myself or someone else, I'm usually immersed in mothering and family, being outdoors, making music, and giving myself to our "great turning" toward a life-honoring, life-sustaining society, through my work at School for the Great Turning, and as host of Turning Season Podcast.
