Beachside will be closed this Tuesday, March 10th, through Friday, March 13th, as Kathleen goes to Colorado 🗻

We still have a couple follow-up appointments available tomorrow (Friday) and plenty of appointments available on Monday, the 9th.

Receptionists will continue to answer phones their normal hours of 8:30 to 5:00 on weekdays, and online booking is accessible 24/7!

When patients tell us that they're afraid of needles, the phobia is usually based on an experience with a doctor's syringe.

Acupuncture needles are very small - about the diameter of a hair - and nothing goes in them or on them. They're tapped in quickly to bypass superficial nerve endings, which means their insertion is often completely painless, much different than a shot or blood draw 💉

If you've been hesitant to try acupuncture because of a needle phobia, give us a try!

Happy Year of the Horse ✨

This year is interesting in that Ramadan and Lent both start around the same time as the Lunar New Year.

No matter what you celebrate, we wish you a season of blessings!

Ancient cultures associated age with wisdom, regarding elders as leaders of the community to be respected. Nowadays, however, age is often associated with a decline in focus and memory.

This doesn't have to be the case, though, as cognitive health is influenced by lifestyle just as physical health is. The key is to continually challenge the brain!

Our patients used to live picking up free copies of Natural Awakenings at our old location, and we're excited to offer them again!

Grab one the next time that you're at the clinic to catch up on health news and local wellness events.

We're open today for any patients who are comfortable driving on the snowy roads ❄️

We may close early if it looks like our last few appointments aren't booking, but feel free to put yourself on the schedule if you need some acupuncture!

01/26/2026

We've decided to close the clinic both today (the 26th) and tomorrow, Tuesday, the 27th, due to icy road conditions. Stay safe and warm!

01/25/2026

We'll be closed Monday, the 26th, due to snowy weather and icy roads.

Right now the forecast doesn't look good for Tuesday either, but we'll make the decision about whether to open or close tomorrow.

Stay safe and warm!

01/20/2026

We are planning on being open our normal hours through the upcoming winter weather, but we will cancel all appointments if the roads become too icy (possible on Friday or Monday).

If you are not comfortable driving in any type of adverse weather conditions, please cancel your appointment so that others who are may take it.

Stay safe and warm!

Modern research is disproving the long-held theory that having one alcoholic drink per day benefits health, and choosing mock cocktails ("mocktails") to unwind after a long day or to socialize with friends can save someone from immediate effects of alcohol, like headaches, hangovers, and general inflammation.

Experimenting with mocktails is as easy as buying ingredients to mix and match. Recipes can range from simple to complex, and trying others' recipes is usually a good starting point for learning how to properly balance flavors.
