🔥 Year of the Fire Horse is almost here — officially 2/17 — and we’re celebrating early!

I’ve got crystals out and charged to welcome a year of forward momentum, courage, decisive action, and trusting your inner spark. This energy is about movement, confidence, and stepping into what’s been calling you.

**For action + vitality:**
• Fire Quartz — motivation, grounding your drive, staying focused in motion
• Carnelian — confidence, creativity, bold forward steps

**For strength + stability:**
• Tiger’s Eye — courage, protection, steady decision-making
• Smoky Quartz — grounding, releasing heaviness, resilience
• Red Jasper — endurance, stamina, rooted strength
• Pyrite — willpower, prosperity energy, empowered action

**For the heart leading the way:**
• Rose Quartz — compassion, softness, self-love
• Rhodonite — emotional balance, healing, forgiveness
• Peach Moonstone — intuition, gentle confidence, aligned flow

**For clarity + intuition:**
• Fluorite — mental clarity, focus, energetic organization
• Clear Quartz — amplification, intention-setting, energetic reset
• Labradorite — transformation, insight, trusting the unknown

Starting next week, everyone who comes in will receive a little “fire” crystal to carry this energy with you into the new year. And those with appointments on 02/21 will get a free “crystal of the year.”

Let’s begin now. 🐎🔥

A reminder the office will be closed 02/14 - 02/20.

Good morning, all!

I wanted to reach out honestly and from the heart.

Running a small, patient-centered practice means that community support truly matters. Like many small businesses, the past year has been quieter, and I’ve continued to show up with care, consistency, and integrity for the people who walk through my door to the best of my ability.

If you’ve felt supported, helped, or genuinely cared for in this space — physically, emotionally, or energetically — I want to ask for your help in return:

✨ Patient reviews (a sincere ask)

Leaving a review is one of the most impactful ways you can support this practice. Honest patient experiences help others find their way here and also help balance online impressions that don’t always reflect the reality of the care I provide.
If you’ve been meaning to leave a review and haven’t yet, I would be deeply grateful if you took a few minutes to do so. Your voice truly matters. You can leave a review by clicking here (https://g.page/r/CXokyBXnkOrXEBM/review) .

Now back to some more joyful news!:

🌙 Upcoming time off
I’ll be out of the office from February 14th–20th, returning refreshed and grounded from the West Coast so that I can best serve you! Appointments before and after that window are filling, so please feel free to book ahead.

🔥 A Lunar New Year thank-you
In honor of the upcoming Lunar New Year and as a gesture of appreciation:
All patients seen the week of February 9th will receive a small “fire” crystal as thanks— supporting action, courage, and renewal - on the house.

Patients seen on February 21st will receive a crystal aligned with the intention of 2026: forward momentum, clarity, and movement forward.

Which crystals are these? You will have to wait to find out!

Again, these are simply little thank-yous, offered with genuine appreciation.

So once more, thank you for trusting me with your care, for showing up for yourselves, and for supporting this practice in the ways you’re able. I don’t take any of it lightly.

You all truly mean so much to me and I am honored to be able to support you and your health.

Warmly,
Dr. Sarah
