💗 A personal note from our hearts at Inner Balance Medicine 💗

One thing many people may not know about me is that both my mom and my stepmom lost their lives to cancer.

My mom passed from breast cancer at just 52 years old.
My stepmom passed from pancreatic cancer at 58 years old.

These losses shaped not only who I am—but why I do this work.

As healthcare practitioners, our goal is always to support our patients with proactive, compassionate, and integrative options for their health. That’s why we are honored to be teaming up with Breast Cancer Ultrasound Screening to offer an early, radiation-free alternative for breast cancer screening.

Early detection saves lives. Period.

🗓 April 1, 2026
📍 Inner Balance Medicine
⏰ All Day

This event is deeply personal to us, and we hope it helps provide peace of mind, empowerment, and access to early care for our community. If this resonates with you—or someone you love—we invite you to join us.

💗 Prevention. Awareness. Early detection.

✨ End-of-Year Wellness Boost ✨

Inner Balance Medicine x Soul Alchemy IV Hydration and Wellness

At Inner Balance Medicine, we’re closing out the year with some extra love for our own wellness — and we’re doing it with the help of nurse Sokpey with Soul Alchemy IV! 💧✨

This week, our team at Inner Balance received nutrient infusion therapy with Sokpey of Soul Alchemy IV in the comfort of our acupuncture and integrative wellness clinic to recharge, boost immunity, and optimize our health during the busy holiday season. And wow… we feel amazing!

We urge you to prioritize your health and wellness practices for the coming months.

In addition to following up with Soul Alchemy IV for regular nutrient IVs, our own health and wellness plans include:

✅ following a nutrient dense diet focused around blood sugar stability and lowering inflammation
✅ getting adequate, quality sleep (remember you need a little more during darker months)
✅ acupuncture to keep our nervous systems tuned up, inflammation balanced, sleep and stress regulated, and symptoms at minimum
✅ myofascial release to keep the fascial electrical circuits flowing smooth with minimal pain or restriction
✅ massage therapy to keep our muscles healthy
✅ daily exercise, stretching, and balance exercises to stay strong and coordinated for years to come
✅ mental-emotional health with regular reflection, stress management, and therapy sessions

New accessible room ✨

At Inner Balance Medicine, we are committed to patient comfort, inclusivity, and accessibility.

After years of shuffling the furniture around in our standard rooms, we have opened a table-free room for patients who receive treatments in chairs, wheelchairs, or other needs.

If you need accommodations to make your visit safe & comfortable, please let us know how we can support you 💖

We will be moving soon. We are thrilled how this room came together, and our new clinic’s accessibility room will be even more comfortable and adaptable.

As we move through life, everything within us and all around us is constantly in a state of flux.

We must grow with life and evolve with these changes in order to thrive.

Our clinic is also constantly adapting to the shifting patterns in our patients and community, integrating new knowledge and experience into our clinical practice, and the evolving demands of our personal lives.

We operate a rather complex clinic as we work with so many patients with all kinds of health concerns and our behind the scenes organization has evolved into a complex case management system.

We felt the strain of a complicated appointment system bogging us down and we realized how unnecessarily over complicated it had become, especially with our internal systems handling all the important details for our patients.

Now Connie & Amanda’s appointments are available under “Integrative Wellness.” For follow ups / existing patients, choose either a standard 45 minute classic *acupuncture*, or choose an extended 75 minute *acupuncture plus* with modalities or deeper discussion/consult time.

Robert’s orthopedic pain management program is separated for easy navigation.

Holistic bodywork now contains the appointments for our massage therapist Marissa and myofascial therapist Cara.

Stay tuned for more exciting developments, and please let us know what you think!!
