Happy Chinese New Year: Year of the Metal Rabbit
Happy Chinese New Year!  Yes, February 3rd marks the new year on the lunar calendar, and this year we will wax and wane under the Metal Rabbit - the last of the Metal element years before a new cycle begins with Water Dragon in 2012.  So what does this mean for 2011?  The Metal Rabbit is a harbinger of PEACE!  Doesn't that sound great?  Despite the fable of the "tortoise and the hare," in Chinese Medicine the Rabbit is actually a leisurely creature who loves peace, harmony and encourages a little self-indulgence.  So in the Year of the Metal Rabbit I encourage you to put yourself first.  Take this as a year to "put your house in order" so to speak, with yourself as top priority because if you have a hard time living from a centered place with peace and harmony in your heart, it can be difficult find ease in other areas of your life.  Take care of yourself, make time for yourself and move towards the future knowing that you are happy, healthy and secure.

Rebecca's back!  Peace and Self-Indulgence in The Year of the Rabbit
That's right!  I am back in the office February 2nd and I couldn't be more excited to return to my passion for Chinese Medicine and for providing compassionate care.  As a new mom I have a whole new level of understanding and respect for moms (go mom!!) as well as post-partum recovery.  Furthermore, despite all my years of martial arts, qigong and meditation, being a mom has brought a different level of presence and awareness to my life.  I feel I am bringing a new level of compassion, care and understanding to my practice that I can't wait to share with you through my treatments.

Combine that with the message of the Year of the Rabbit - Peace and Self-Indulgence - and I think I have an excellent recipe for helping you make the best of 2011.  I look forward to being your partner in health once again, helping you to find peace in the Year of the Rabbit and perhaps indulge in a little self care to get back on track and stay there.  My online schedule is open now!

• 2nd Sat of the month 9a-2:30p

I will also no longer be doing 60 minute massage appointments for new patients though I will be happy to do so for returning patients.  If you want a 60 minute massage appointment, please book an Acupuncture appointment and note "massage" in the notes field.  30 minute massage add-ons to Acupuncture appointments will still be available as will 60 and 30 minute Foot Reflexology sessions.

Looking Forward to Seeing You Soon!
I am so excited to return to my practice and to be able to share what I am learning as I new mom.  I feel I am bringing a whole new level of compassion, care and understanding to my work and I feel blessed to be able to bring this to you.

Referral Program: Cesarian Section Mom's Referral of the Month
Did you know I have a referral program?  I do!  For every 5 new patients that come and name YOU as the referring party, you get a FREE 60 MINUTE TREATMENT!  This month, in the new mom vein, I am looking for new mom's who had their children by C-Section.  I have a whole new understanding of post-partum recovery and I am very excited about sharing that knowledge and care.  Do you know anyone who recently had a baby by C-section?  Please think of sending them my way for compassionate and understanding post-partum support.  I promise I can help get them back on their feet and feeling themselves again!
