A lovely patient of mine reminded me that I had yet to share my seasonal TCM poster. 🍐 🍂 I will try and get some of these printed to have in store this coming week!

If you’ve had a peek at the schedule, you will have noticed it is VERY busy. If you’re looking for an appointment, I had a few cancellations come up over the next couple of weeks before my vacation. 🇭🇷

And as a reminder, you can always add yourself to the waitlist and we will give you a call if anything opens up. 📞
