Good Monday morning all!

I’m back in the clinic starting tomorrow, and I’ve been reviewing the schedule to see where I can responsibly fit in returning patients without creating a pile-up (your time matters to me, and I want to make sure I’m running on time ⏱️✨).

Right now, the week is essentially booked — however I can safely open a small handful of spots for returning patients:

This Week’s Possible Openings (by request only):

Tuesday 11/18: 8:15, 9:00, and/or 2:15

Thursday: Fully booked

Friday 11/21: 8:15 or 8:30, plus 10:00

Saturday 11/22: 1:00 PM JUST opened!

Saturday can be booked online; all weekday openings must be booked through the front desk so we can place them carefully.

Looking ahead to next week, I actually have a good amount of availability — and I know this time of year is stressful for many of you, especially those staying local or navigating federal/in-office schedules.

Here's my schedule for Thanksgiving (i.e. NEXT WEEK!):

Monday - open

Tuesday - open

Wednesday - we will be open!

Closed Thursday (Thanksgiving)

Open Friday + Saturday!

And… I’ll be running some in-clinic specials next Friday through Monday (more details soon 😉).

If you know you want to get on the (warm, heated) table before the holiday whirlwind hits, now is the time to grab your spot.

Reply back to info@easternrootswellness.com or call the front desk at 703-848-1980 to claim your time.

I’m looking forward to seeing you and helping you feel your best during this busy season 💛✨

Best,
Dr. Sarah

I know that I may have accidentally bombarded you with the same two emails yesterday (still figuring out the messaging system via our scheduling app works!); however, I was looking at next week...
..And realized that there are only FIVE available appointment times for the week of 11/17.

As for today, we have the following:

Thursday, 11/20: 5:00

Friday, 11/21: 8:30, 10:00

Saturday, 11/22: 8:15, 8:45

I am sending out this email so that for those of you still receiving treatment, you have some time to go ahead and reserve a slot for yourself.

We will be in until 6:30pm tonight.

After that, we be out of the office until 8:00am Tuesday, November 18th.

I believe that the Thursday and Saturday appointments you can book through our online scheduling system. For Friday, you will need to contact the front desk.

GM All!

Sorry for the second email — but I thought this one was important and time-sensitive!

I have a **last-minute 5:30 slot open TODAY**, plus a few openings **tomorrow and Saturday** (including a 1:00 for acupuncture).

Next week (the week of 11/10) is **technically full**, though I *might* be able to fit in a **2:30 or 4:00** if you reach out soon. After this Saturday, the **next available appointments won’t be until Tuesday, 11/18.**

With the **change in weather, shorter daylight hours, and added stress**, I’ve already seen an uptick in colds and fatigue. Acupuncture can help keep your **immune system strong** and your **energy balanced** through this transition.

And if you’re **traveling soon** (especially with the current flight limitations), a pre-travel acupuncture tune-up can go a long way to help your body stay resilient.

✨ **Book your spot before your trip or before the weekend fills!**

Warmly,
Dr. Sarah

As we approach this important time to vote, I want to encourage you to take a moment not only to make your voice heard but also to take a moment for your health. Just as your vote matters, your well-being matters—and this clinic is here to support you.

Please know that we will be out of the office from **November 11–17**, but there are still appointment slots available this week. Limited availability remains on **November 10**, and some openings are available every day leading up to our break.

I also want to take a moment to reemphasize my commitment to offering this clinic as a **safe, supportive space**. That’s why I sometimes adjust my schedule—opening on Wednesdays when I would normally be closed or starting slightly earlier on shorter weeks—to accommodate your needs.

At the same time, the current economy is affecting all of us, including this practice. Many patients are understandably unable to make their appointments, yet overhead costs continue to rise.

For this reason, it’s especially important to:

* **Notify us if you’re running late**.
* **Understand that we may not be able to see you if you arrive late**, as we must respect the time of those who are also scheduled.

If we can fit you in nearby or reschedule for another time that week, great—we’ll find a solution. But if not, please understand why a late cancel or no-show fee may apply. We carved out that time specifically for you, and we appreciate your understanding.

We know these times are a bit chaotic, and we’re all doing our best.

Thank you for allowing us to continue serving your health needs, and for supporting a clinic that strives to be flexible, safe, and caring.

Warmly,

As we roll into the holiday season (and all that comes with it!), now is a *great* time to get in for treatment — especially if you have acupuncture coverage. Many insurance plans reset in January, which means:

✨ **Unused benefits (visits) don’t roll over**
✨ **Deductibles often restart in 2026**
✨ **Some of you may be changing plans**

So if you’ve been meaning to come in, go ahead and use what you have before the year wraps up — and before I’m out of office **November 11–17**.

Here are the **remaining openings this week:**

* **TODAY (Mon):** 5:00 PM
* **Tuesday:** 8:15 AM or 1:00 PM
* **Thursday:** 10:15 AM or 5:00 PM
* **Friday:** 9:30 AM* or 2:30 PM (*9:30 not visible online — book through front desk)
* **Saturday:** a few early morning slots available

💫 **Bonus:** All **Halloween crystals are 5% off** and **crystal wands are 10% off** through the end of the month — perfect little treats for yourself or early gifts!

You can book online [HERE! (https://acusimple.com/access/7971/ #/appointments/) ] or call/text the office to grab one of these spots.

Take care of yourself now, before the holiday rush begins — your future self will thank you. 🎃✨

Just in case you were looking...

We do have a few early to mid morning appointments available TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, October 21st, i.e. 9, 9:30, 9:45.

Yes, that sentence was a bit dramatic. However, we are not normally open on Wednesdays. And considering that the clinic will be closed for the rest of this week, why not make sure to share?

So if you are thinking about coming in this week, please send us an email at info@easternrootswellness.com or you can book online at easternrootswellness.com (http://www.easternrootswellness.com) .

Remember, tomorrow morning are the only slots we have left for this week.

Next availability will be Monday, October 27th in the afternoon.

In the meantime, please know I'm thinking about all of you and if you need anything, never hesitate to reach out!

I want to take a moment to say: I *see you.*

I know many of you have been affected — or are worried about being affected — by the government shutdown. When you’re not working, I feel it too. What affects you, affects me as you are my clientele.

So here’s what I want you to know:

🌿 You Still Have Acupuncture Coverage
If you’re a federal employee, your acupuncture benefits through insurance are still active through the end of the year — so why not use them for something that actually *helps* you manage stress, tension, and the emotional weight of all this uncertainty?

Now is a great time to get ahead of stress instead of letting it build up.

✨ Complimentary Ear Seeds for Stress Relief
I’m offering **free ear seed applications** to anyone who needs a little extra support right now.

Ear seeds are small, stainless steel or crystal beads placed on specific points of your ear that correspond to the nervous system — helping calm the mind, ease tension, and support relaxation for days after you leave the office.

(Just give us a quick call ahead so we can make sure there’s time for you! Ear seeds only take a few minutes to place on, but they can stay on or last for about a week!)

Discounted 30-Minute “Stress Relief” Acupuncture
For those looking to save a bit but still get the benefit of a full treatment, I’m still offering a **special 30-minute Stress Relief Acupuncture session at a discounted rate.**

It’s a perfect reset — simple, effective, and deeply relaxing. And can be utilized by anyone for wants treatment.

📅 Office Hours Update

The office will be **closed next Thursday, Friday, and Saturday**,
but I do have limited openings this **Thursday and Friday**, as well as early morning spots at **8:15 or 8:30 on Saturday.**

Next week, I’ll also have some availability **Monday through Wednesday.**
You can **book online** or **call the office** when we reopen tomorrow at 10 AM.

🎃 Because We All Deserve a Little Joy…

Our **Spooky Crystals** section is officially up! 👻

When you purchase from the *Spooky* or *Fall* displays, you’ll get to **“Trick or Treat” in our Crystal Cauldron** — pull a surprise crystal (valued between $9 and $22!) to take home.

✨ **Crystal Spotlight: Wands** ✨

They might look mystical, but wands are powerful tools year-round.
Their pointed or double-pointed shape helps *direct and focus energy* — perfect for setting intentions, clearing energy, or channeling healing where it’s most needed.

All wands are **10% off this month**.
---

Most importantly — please know this:
💛 My clinic is a safe, supportive space. Whether you’re feeling stressed, uncertain, or just need a little grounding — or even some comic relief - you’re always welcome here.

Best always,
