So many of you are wondering why Better Balance is closing, so I wanted to share a little more about the details of what happened. As many of you know, transparency comes really easy to me, maybe too much so ;) so here’s the scoop:
The reason for our closure is due to our landlords forcing us out of our building. We were promised another 5 year lease in 2023, but for some reason which they won’t share with us, they changed their mind and just weren’t willing to allow us to stay any longer. It’s so unfortunate and came as a huge surprise.
We tried to sell the practice but simply ran out of time.
Many of you know that in 2020 my husband and I relocated to the outskirts of Boise, Idaho to slow life down a bit. We were lucky to become pregnant just a few months later. Fast forward to today, we have a two year old son and I am also running a busy practice here in Eagle, ID. It has been such a lovely place to practice and I’m so grateful to say I am currently booked 8 weeks out for new patients. Side note: If any amazing acupuncturists are reading this - please spread the word that I am hiring!!
Had I been in a different stage of life, I would have had so much more to give to be able to keep Better Balance going. But right now being present for my son and family is my absolute number one priority and the same goes for my Idaho patient base. It’s just not possible to travel to California and also provide them with the consistent care they need. So there was just no easy way for me to do it all AND find us a new building to move the business to. I wish things were different but sometimes the universe decides for us.
I am so beyond grateful for each of you who have trusted us and been so loyal over the years. I often see patients on the schedule who started with me before I ever hired a single employee and it always makes me feel so good. I’m grateful for our amazing team who has worked so hard to provide outstanding care for our patients. And I am very thankful for the community of practitioners and also patients who have referred to us over the years.
Better Balance was my very first business! It allowed me to flourish and thrive as an acupuncturist, challenged me as a business owner, and taught me SO MUCH. I am such a different person today compared to who I was back in 2017 when it all started. I started this business so broke and so scared. I had no clue it would become what it did. Gratitude doesn’t even begin to describe what I feel for these last 7 years in business. Thank you thank you thank you. And here’s to the closure of one hell of a beautiful chapter.
