Good morning all,

Kellen and I have decided to amend our services until April 1.

- Ellice will offer phone sessions for psychotherapy and meditation coaching.
- Kellen will offer herbal consults by phone, email, and text. Herbs can be shipped to you.
- Kellen will also offer phone/email/text consults for anyone seeking support. Whether you take herbs or not, there are many ways you can support your health–including your mental health–even if you contract a virus. Kellen can guide you through gua sha, acupressure, and dietary choices that will help with respiratory symptoms OR ANYTHING ELSE.

In-person services (acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, tapping, and hypnotherapy) are suspended until April 1.

We will also be suspending our cancellation policy: if you have an appointment and need to cancel, there will be no fee.

For your reference, we have always used medical-grade disinfectant products in Kellen’s room. Beginning this week, we also used those products in Ellice’s room and the common spaces. We welcome any questions or input you have as we move forward.

We wish you all solid breathing and comfortable, restorative sleep. Please do reach out if we can support you. We want to help you access and create resources through this season.

In good health,
Ellice and Kellen

If you don't receive our newsletter, you haven't seen our blog since we switched hosting sites MONTHS ago. We're back in action, just in time for eclipse season.

Read this week's post for some support in navigating these watery times.

It’s okay to cry. Happy New Moon in Cancer. I want to say happy eclipse season, but I know most of us are struggling through with less happiness than we’d maybe choose for easy breezy living. A solar eclipse–when the moon obscures the sun–is a time when the shadows become more prominent. Wha...

"On June 19, 1865, General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, with a Union regiment.

It was over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, and the enslaved people there and in other areas throughout Texas had not been officially informed that President Abraham Lincoln had decreed they were no longer someone’s property. Granger and his soldiers publicly issued General Order Number 3, telling the people of Texas that “all slaves are free.”

The newly freed people of Texas chose that date to commemorate their freedom. This 152-year-old tradition launched by a generation of formerly enslaved people has emerged in the 21st century as a celebration of freedom, and demand for national observation."
