Centered Stillness Acupuncture, PLLC

09/13/2022

This post is a few days late…. 10 years ago (September 9th) Centered Stillness Acupuncture and Massage Therapy, PLLC doors were first open. I had zero clients, but showed up anyway. Then Hurricane Sandy hit not too long after. It was a nightmare for Long Island. I was out of work for a month and I didn’t have any clients to start… did I mention that?!

Then, a year and a half later I relocated to Upstate NY and had to start all over again in a new city where I knew no one. Fast forward… A decade later… my business is stronger than ever and still growing! Hard work and being dedicated to your craft really does pay off!

Find something you’re passionate about and just go for it! No more excuses! Stop going to a job you hate. Stop living a life you dread. Stop allowing fear to be in the driver’s seat. I started with nothing. Some months did not know how I would pay my rent. But I said yes to every opportunity that presented itself. It was grueling at times. But you just.Keep.Swimming. This is not for the faint of heart or the lazy. Success will not magically appear at your door. It is hard work. If you love it though- you will welcome the challenge and so long as you stay focused, eventually, you will be blessed beyond measure!



I will always be grateful to my sister, Catherine DeMieri for encouraging me to take this leap of faith!
Sometimes you just have to take the advice!

Tonight I drank beef bone broth to help tonify my yin and blood. As someone who has not consumed meat in over 8 years, this was a very conscious and thoughtful decision. Sometimes you just have to know when to take good care of yourself and for me, the time was tonight. I have the acupuncture down, sleep down, consuming a whole foods diet down, and doing my best to practice what I preach all day long to my patients in terms managing my stress, and not overdoing it, but still my body has been lacking.
I suppose I can no longer call myself a vegetarian. But I can tell you- I know where my food comes from and I give thanks for what its nourishment afforded me tonight. It is not something I take for granted. No, I won’t be enjoying a steak anytime soon, but food as medicine… yes, I have succumbed.

BIG NEWS Y’ALL: According to an email I just received from ASNY, (Acupuncture Society of NY) Acupuncturists in the state of NY have now been deemed essential workers to patients WHO HAVE A SCRIPT FROM THEIR DOCTOR for acupuncture.

I actually grazed over this part and just re-read it, and it is bittersweet my friends. If you can get your MD to prescribe it for you which most will, (althoughI know it’s another step and annoying because I have been seeing you all prior to Covid-19 without needing one), it is then possible to be seen at my office!! It’s a start!!

Secondly: Submission of ReOpen Plan

“The ASNY Advocacy Committee has completed the Industry ReOpen Plan. It is under review by Venable, LLP's Division of Labor to make sure all compliance points are included. It will be available early next week, for those who do not want to develop their own plans. It is comprehensive and covers all authoritative sources for implementation and will include forms for use. ASNY will release it as soon as the review is completed.”

I intend to use their ReOpen Plan because of how comprehensive it is, hence I am waiting for its release and will keep you all posted. In the meantime, get your scripts for acupuncture from your Dr. if you’re able to and please reach out to me by email or text.

I will be in the office and ready to open by June 1st- possibly a tad sooner, just waiting on ASNY’s ReOpen Plan.

This is something I have been trying to do every day-3x a day to get my blood moving. If you feel like you’ve become too sedentary lately, and need to get your blood flowing- this is an easy way to do so! I set 3 alarms at 8am-12pm-4pm so that I remember until it develops into my new habit. Let me know if you try it!

Devised by Dr. Zach Bush, the genius of this easy workout is the exercises are simple and take only 4 minutes to achieve a nitric oxide dump = weight loss
