THE RITUAL SPACE

A space for becoming.

The Ritual Space is meant to be third space for the community. We do not charge for use of the ritual resources, we just ask that all who use them help care for them.

  1. Be considerate of other community members who are also using the space. Ritual is private and personal but can also be seen and shared. We are all sharing space together with love and kindness.
  2. Respect the sanctity of the rituals and the resources that lend their love and guidance to us. All consciousness is connected.

The Ritual Space is available during community acupuncture sessions and during open retail hours.

See what a little ritual can do in your life.

Ritual creates alignment of body, mind, and soul. All these offerings are optional. Curate your own ritual and what makes sense for you.

Tea Bar

Enjoy a selection of Chinese medicinal teas, wellness teas, and hand-picked teas from Ballard local teahouse Miro Tea.

Blessing Ritual

Participate in our Buddha blessing ritual. This ritual is part of Theraveda Buddhism – the Buddhism commonly practiced in Laotian culture. Wash over buddha statues to cleanse and give blessings to the universe and to ourselves.

Flower Essences & Tinctures

Crystalize your intention by adding a couple drops of flower essences or wellness tinctures to your water or tea and drink before you begin your acupuncture session.

Tarot & Oracle Cards

Finish your session by pulling a card from the provided tarot or oracle decks. What does the universe whisper to you?

Journaling & Self Reflection

Take a moment to reflect on any visions, thoughts, and/or feelings that came up during your session and consider taking note of them. What revelations await?

Meet Phonexay

Where our desires meet with limitations we get the gifts of meaning and creativity, within this space, we get to build a life worthwhile.

Dr. Phonexay Lala Simon, LAC, EAMP is the founder of Original Qi Acupuncture as well as cofounder of Rebel Med NW. She was voted Seattle Met Top Acupuncturist in 2022 & 2023.

I’m an acupuncturist, East Asian Medicine practitioner, energy medicine practitioner, and health consultant. I work with all people but I am especially well-fitted for individuals who are empathic, intuitive, or otherwise energetically sensitive.

I like to focus on health and healing through both practical and spiritual paths because I believe that both are needed to get through this life with self-agency, self-love, and self-evolution.

With me, you get to show up exactly as you are and be seen for who you are, and you might get some insight into what gifts you have as well. I will recognize and honor all of the person that is in front of me and their current wants and needs. I will do my best to pull together the physical, emotional/psychological, and spiritual bodies to help you interpret what is needed for health.

Although the God(s) and Goddess(es) in us have infinite lives, our human self only gets this precious One life. 

Testimonials

Wonderful experience with Phonexay. It was my first time with acupuncture, and I have had chronic shoulder and back pain from work. She was able to pinpoint where my tension has been and targeted these areas with acupuncture and cupping, neither of which were painful at all. I left feeling taller with a range of motion I haven’t felt in ages…and pain free! I look forward to more treatments with her.

I have been very impressed with the care and attention I have received from Phonexay Simon. She is a kind and patient listener and remembers details. The office staff is professional and welcoming. The clinic space is clean and comfortable. Look no further if you want to be taken care of in the heart of Ballard.

I’m finally getting to posting a review for Dr. Phonexay Simon, which is long overdue. I began seeing Dr. Phonexay at the beginning of 2020. I came to her for help with one particular thing and, after a couple of sessions, confirmed that I had found a rare, authentic, and deeply talented practitioner. It’s clear this work is her calling, and she appears to really enjoy what she does. Dr. Phonexay is equal parts effective Chinese medicine science and the art of the intuitive. Her work is truly holistic and healing; she has been and is a critical part of my journey. I don’t say this lightly, as I am very discerning with who I work with and the time I spend…it has to be significantly worth it. Many people have asked me for her information. I appreciate that she keeps her prices accessible when she could charge much more due to the efficacy of her work.

I hope this review helps you on your journey to finding the right partner for healing, maintenance, or just the discovery of self.

I have seen Phonexay for nearly 5 years and she is the BEST acupuncturist and all around care giver and I recommend her highly.
