November Offerings of Gratitude

11/2/2016

1 Comment

 
Now that fall is upon us and we enter the month of November, this is a great time of year to slow down, look inward, and reflect on what we are grateful for. I personally have been feeling incredibly grateful for this amazing community that surrounds us here in Asheville. We have such a vibrant town. One that supports small businesses, values local food, and encourages people to get active and live a healthy lifestyle. 
Out of my gratitude for this strong community that we have, I want to give back. I believe that healthy individuals create a healthier community. When we are free of pain and illness, we have more energy to support those around us.

So, here are several ways in which you can receive acupuncture at a reduced cost for the month of November:
  • All new patients will receive $10 off their Initial Acupuncture appointment 
  • Help end hunger and enjoy acupuncture. For returning patients, each can of food donated to our Nourishing November Food Drive will receive $2 off their next acupuncture visit. All donations will go to Manna Food Bank. 
  • Join me at the River Arts District Farmers Market Harvest Dinner Fundraiser on Monday, November 7th. There will be delicious local food, live music and a silent auction with the chance to win an Initial Acupuncture Visit, offered by yours truly. All proceeds support the RAD Farmers Market. For tickets and more information, visit www.radfarmersmarket.com
  • Practice yoga & check out the raffle at Asheville Community Yoga. I have donated a great goodie basket to Asheville Community Yoga for their November raffle. The basket is valued at over $300 and includes: 
    • 3 acupuncture visits (including a 90 minute initial visit and 2 follow ups)
    • Elderberry immune syrup
    • Tummy tamer syrup
    • Chronic pain liniment
    • Acute pain rub
    • Healing skin salve
    • Bath soak
    • Body scrub
     All products are infused with Chinese herbs and hand crafted by myself. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the front desk of Asheville Community Yoga, one ticket for $5 or five for $20. All proceeds support this nonprofit donation-based yoga center, making yoga accessible to everyone. 

Thank you for making this community what it is. Now, I encourage you to give back to this community in your own way, because as said in the Tao Te Ching, "the heart that gives, gathers".

Mamas, we value your health here at Nourishing Roots. We understand that caring for yourself often gets put on the back burner when you have a family to raise. But remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. So, we want to help nourish you and keep you happy and healthy. That's why we have teamed up with the local Get Out Mama Village of Asheville! 

Get Out Mama is an Asheville based organization that is all about connecting families to resources that help make 'getting out' much easier. They are essentially a strategically organized diaper bag full of everything you need to get out of the house with (or without) the kiddos. Get Out Mama empowers mothers to kick postpartum depression and embrace their lives as women & mothers by making it easier to connect with other people, businesses & resources in our local community. 

Present your Get Out Mama card to receive one complimentary De-Stress Acupuncture treatment + 10% off acupuncture visits. Guess what's even better?! It is totally FREE to join as a Get Out Mama village member! 

Remember, healthy bodies create happy families. So give yourself the gift of health and contact us to schedule an appointment!

Community Acupuncture at Biz611

5/19/2016

0 Comments

 
I am very excited to begin offering community acupuncture on the first Thursday of each month at Biz611 from 4:00-7:00pm. Treatments are only $30!!

Unlike traditional treatments which take place in a private room, community style acupuncture offers acupuncture treatments in a group setting. To maintain privacy, a brief private intake will be done upon your arrival. Then you can make yourself comfortable in a zero gravity reclining chair in the common room where you will receive your acupuncture treatment. This communal form of care not only allows treatments to be more affordable, but it also allows you to absorb the healing energy from those around you. 

We ask that you wear loose comfortable clothing so that we can access your elbows and knees. Some patients tend fall asleep during their treatment, so feel free to bring ear plugs if you wish. To keep the atmosphere soothing, we ask that you turn your cell phone off and speak quietly. 

Appointments are encouraged to minimize wait time and ensure that you will be seen. Walk-ins are welcome but please understand that without an appointment we will see patients first come, first served.

We look forward to seeing you and be sure to call 828-222-0803 to schedule your appointment!

Help end hunger, enjoy acupuncture

12/7/2015

0 Comments

 
Hunger is a global issue, but many people in our own country are affected by hunger each day. In 2014, 48.1 million Americans lived in food insecure households, including 32.8 million adults and 15.3 million children. Unfortunately, 16.7% of households in North Carolina experience food insecurity. In Buncombe county alone, 15.4% of households are food insecure. This rate is higher than the national average of 14.3%.
However, you can help. For the month of December, receive $2 off your next acupuncture treatment for every can of food donated. All donations will go to Mana Food Bank.
