Happy November!
Kitty, Cameron and I are happy to announce some exciting changes at the Clinic! Over the past year and a half, the need for a new approach to health has become very obvious to us. So, we have made some changes. The biggest change is the educational model which is aimed at understanding what optimal health is and how the mind and body work to together to achieve this.
Rebrand
The clinic is in the process of changing names from Nerea Acupuncture & Eastern Medicine to Embodied Wellness. You will see the rebrand happen slowly over the upcoming months. We have more providers who are joining the clinic and want to have a more inclusive name. We will eventually be offering: Chinese/Eastern Medicine - Western Medicine - Massage - Mental Health - IV Infusions and more!
The website is still under construction but please feel free to have a sneak peak! www.EmbodiedClinic.com
Education
The need for education has also become clear. In order to improve health, we must understand what has happened. The amount of time available during treatments is too limited so classes are offered on a regular basis. Our current classes are:
Inflammation and Disease - This is a deep dive into some of the main factors that generate inflammation and how that opens to the door to chronic disease.
Emotional Inflammation - How do our thoughts influence our body and how our body influences our thoughts and emotions.
Cooking Classes - Cooking healthy, whole foods is not as difficult as we think. Together, we can learn quick, easy and nourishing recipes.
Food Prep - Having healthy meals on hand can be a challenge! Once a month we will work together to make sure you have meals ready so all you have to do is warm them up and enjoy!
The inflammation classes are part of what the clinic offers patients in their treatment plans so no additional charge will be added. If you are willing to do the work, then we are willing to teach! The cooking classes are held at My Fresh Basket which is a rented space and the cost for the rental and materials will be divided equally. We do not profit from offering this - it is a service we are providing to assist you in your health needs.
In the future, once the causes of inflammation are understood, we will offer classes on gut biome, blood sugar, hormones and how this influences our neurology.
Please sign up on the website. You will need to sign up and be approved in order to schedule and please note that this is only for current patients of the clinic. If you sign up for a class and are unable to make it without giving notice, we will charge you $20. Space is limited and the demand for the classes are high.
Community
You are not in this alone! The classes offer community but we will also be expanding that out in the future. A community garden is being developed so that next year, those who would like to participate can work in the garden and have access to organic vegetables. Additional community events will be scheduled and we will be bringing in other providers in the community to assist your journey.
Newsletter
On the website you may sign up for a monthly newsletter which will outline all the classes, topics, advice and recipes for the month. This is a new endeavor and your feedback as to what you would like to see is greatly appreciated! You will need to opt into the newsletter. No other e-mails will be sent to you unless you opt in. You may also reply to this e-mail notifying us that you want to receive the newsletter and we will sign you up.
This is a new chapter in the clinic. We are here to help you on your journey to health and are doing what we can to ensure you are successful. Any suggestions are always appreciated. It has been an honor to be part of your healing journey and we are excited to see how this new model can support you.
We opened our doors in April 2021 as Nerea Acupuncture & Eastern Medicine. When the clinic first opened, it was just Nerea providing Chinese and Functional Medicine.
