It helps to have friends in high places 🤣! A big thanks from me and my patients to Mayor Snyder for helping clean off the rest of my icy sidewalk, and all the other folks out there cleaning up our early winter mess!! Stay safe out there today, too

Today is Small Business Saturday, so I hope you can find a way to support your local businesses in this crummy weather. Speaking of, let us know if you want to buy Gift Cards for the clinic, which are discounted by 20%! **Sale ends today! Good for purchase of any service or retail product.**

Please read our snow-day cancellation policy below, which aims to balance everyone's safety with your need for consistent care.

When a big snowstorm (or any other type of inclement weather) happens, you can expect that:

❄️ The clinic will be open unless it's unsafe for our staff to drive in to work.
❄️ If we do close, we will call or text you as soon as that decision is made so that your appointment can be be rescheduled. We will do our best to get you in as soon as possible.
❄️ If the clinic is staffed, our 24-hour cancellation policy will still apply unless local government offices and schools have officially closed for the day.
❄️ If you don't have childcare, you are welcome to bring your kiddo to your appointment. (Though we please ask that they be old enough to hang out quietly by themselves in the waiting room.)

Thank you for respecting our clinic's policies! You can see all of our appointment policies on the clinic website.

It's been a whirlwind nine months since we opened the doors, and we are feeling so grateful to everyone in the Petersburg community who has encouraged, supported, and showed up for this small but mighty clinic! From a floor-to-ceiling renovation of the space, those initial first weeks of free group acupuncture sessions, the January open house, our monthly workshops, weekly yoga classes, occasional pop-up events and community festivals, it's been an amazing ride so far!! Dr. Christine would personally like to thank each and every person who has entrusted her with their healthcare needs. She has provided close to 900 acupuncture treatments and herbal consultations thus far at the clinic and is planning lots of surprises for 2026!

Have a safe and restful holiday season and we hope to see you soon!

p.s. don't forget that until Small Business Saturday (11/29), we're offering 20% off all Gift Cards! Thank you for supporting your local small businesses.

For all you plant people!! With a few helpful additions from Mom's backyard, my front planters have a nice refresh, thanks to the amazing ! More holiday decorations coming soon, but I was tired of looking at all those dried out and sad summer plants. Enjoy the fall weather!

This is week three of Month of Giving! This week is for the Angel Tree, and they are seeking toys and gifts for kids and teens, especially teens. The clinic is a drop off site Monday- Thursday for these items. If you don't have anything to donate, please consider giving to their Amazon wish list (see post below)!

Tomorrow night!

The cooler weather encourages us to relax and draw inward. Gentle movement and time on the bolster helps to settle your mind, draw physical stress out of your body and promote relaxation. What a great way to end the week! I hope you'll take time for yourself and join us. ☺🧘🧘‍♀️
