Hello lovely community! Today, our state is starting a new phased approach to opening back up, and so are we. We are purchasing new cleaning supplies, updating our safety protocols, and restructuring our clinic so that we can continue to be as safe as possible. At this point, we do not have a reopen date set. That determination will be made in accordance with direction from the medical experts and through continuing to prioritize the lives of our community members who are most at risk. We miss you all, and hope you are managing well through this unique and challenging time. Please everyone, continue staying safe, and continue taking care of each other. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Today our clinic dropped off donations of toilet paper, paper towels, and hand soap to the White Center Food Bank. Let's keep our entire community in mind as we navigate these changing circumstances together.

We are so grateful for the immense support we’ve seen the last week in response to the COVID-19 outbreak ✨. We’ve had lots of inquiries regarding ways to help and probably the best choice given the current situation, which adheres to recommendations made by public officials is to make a monetary donation online (link in bio). However, we recognize that may not be an option for everyone so here is a list of other ways to help. Remember to exercise appropriate practices 🧼🤲🏽🧼💕.

COVID19 UPDATE: Temporary Clinic Closure Beginning March 16th.

At Sloth Around Community Acupuncture we have always believed that our role is to provide individual health services within a larger community context. It is with that larger view of the community in mind that we have decided to temporarily close our clinic beginning Monday March 16th. Since the novel Coronavirus pandemic started we have implemented numerous steps to reduce the likelihood of any possibility of transmission within our clinic. Although we are fully confident in the additional safety measures we have implemented, we believe our greater commitment to the health of everyone in our larger community needs to be prioritized now. Social Distancing, the practice of limiting time spent outside of the house and avoiding public spaces, only works when everyone does it. We are temporarily closing our clinic so that we can participate in Social Distancing, and we hope that everyone will follow our lead and implement the strict level of Social Distancing that it will take to keep everyone in our community as safe as possible and help minimize the impact on our our already overburdened healthcare system. Working together, we can keep each other as safe as possible.

We will continue to check our email and phone messages regularly. We will continue to offer herbal consults and manage herbal medications for patients that we have already worked with. If you have any questions or concerns about your treatment plan during this temporary shutdown, please reach out to us.

Check in regularly on our website for clinic updates. We will be monitoring the CDC and local King County Health websites for updates about when it is best to reopen. Thank you for understanding, and for doing your part to help keep our community safe.

Please take care of yourself. Get good rest, eat healthy foods, stay hydrated, do things that bring you joy and lower your stress.

Lastly, we ask you to remember those who will be the most vulnerable during this time. We encourage you to check in with your extended community to see how you can be of service to individuals who may be at risk. Living with a chronic health condition can be quite isolating in these situations. Reach out, share some love and support.

It's voting season folks! With so much on our minds these days it would be easy to lose track of the time. Washington primary ballots must either be mailed or dropped in an official ballot drop box by 8pm on March 10th in order to count.

Please join us in welcoming Alex Flores to our Sloth Around Family! Alex graduated with Masters degree in Oriental Medicine from Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in 2012 and completed an externship at Kyung Hee University in Seoul, S.Korea focusing on musculoskeletal and temporomandibular disorders.

Alex writes: Some of my first experiences with acupuncture were as an intern at a Chinese Medicine clinic in Bellingham. Individuals came in with severe discomfort and by the end of their visit, leaving with a smile. What was ailing them either dissipated or disappeared completely. These extraordinary experiences alone made me want to pursue something so life changing! I want to support many people with acupuncture to live an optimal and pain free life full of health and vitality!
I have treated many conditions successfully such as plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, Bell’s palsy, headache/migraine, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, fatigue, joint pain, sciatica and any acute to chronic pain conditions.

Alex will be filling in for MyNhung on the Tuesday morning shift this week, February 25th, from 10am-2pm. Welcome Alex! We're so happy for you to join us!
