As we approach Thanksgiving, I am thankful for so many things. Marin has done well in the pandemic. Many of us have a new awareness of racism and are doing our work around it. We live in a place where there is much mindfulness and care for others. We have access to clean water, healthy food and the fire season is over!!!

I chose to go back to work 6 months into Covid because I wanted to safely see people that found acupuncture essential for them. It’s been going well and I’m working with very safe practices at a reduced capacity. 

Because Chinese Medicine addresses winter weather conditions by balancing the effects of wind, dampness and cold on your health, it's time to get acupuncture!

If you have arthritis, lower back pain, lung congestion, digestive problems, or other symptoms, these are highly affected by these factors. Stress and lack of sleep will exacerbate your imbalance. 

We also want to focus on your immune system. This means boosting your body’s natural protection from Covid, flus, and colds with treatments and herbs. 

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs prevent negative influences from settling into your body’s joints, organs and also from obstructing your body’s natural flow of energy (qi).   Natural medicine restores your body so there is less risk of getting sick. 

Chinese herbs such as formulas with astragalus, and mushrooms like reishi and cordyceps support your immune system. Vitamin D and our food-based Vitamin C are also essential during these months.

If you want to build your immune system with acupuncture, herbs and supplements, I  am here and can treat you and prescribe the right thing for your constitution. Herb pick-up will continue to be available, or you can schedule acupuncture and pick up products during your appointment

...and from all of us at CAM, we wish you a beautiful Thanksgiving. We are grateful for you and this community.

Ronit, Karena, and Brittany

DESIRE IS JUST S3X & SUFFERING... NOT!!

9/28/2020

Comments

 
When you hear or read the word desire, what comes into your mind first?

Judgement? Cheap sex? Money? Clothes? Stuff?

What is the actual value of desire? What does it SERVE? (Plz do let me know what you think in the comments...)

Buddhism teaches that desire is suffering, because we can't always have what we want and be satisfied.

But here we are in this world right now... I need to take a STAND for outdated dogma and sound bites about desire that no longer serve as generative forces for humanity.

Desire is not the enemy, it's the KEY.

IGNITE YOUR DESIRE AS A PATH TO FULFILLMENT

9/23/2020

Comments

 
Are you a woman who has spent years focused on achieving goals but not prioritizing your deeper needs?

Do you get depleted, with an underlying desire to be met in a much more deeply satisfying, nourishing way?
​
Have you spent years on self improvement, growing and making changes, but it hasn’t quite worked?

Have you made steps that feel good for a while, but aren’t sustaining?

Do you have a feeling there's something more to life, but you're not sure what it is?

Is something calling for your attention, but you don't know how to access it?
​

By learning the incredible value of your true desire, you gain access to experience life in an enriching way that brings nourishment, aliveness, creativity, inspiration, and radiance... to all that you do, touch and experience.

Do you want to claim who you are ​with your entire being and shift from:
  • Depletion to Vitality
  • Fear to Enjoyment 
  • Control to Softened Open Surrender
  • Flat and Unmotivated to Resourcing Infinite Creativity 
  • Codependency to Sovereignty 
  • Shame to Loving Approval (of self and others)
  • Lost to Reclaiming the Brilliant Soul that YOU ARE.

Fall season has officially arrived!

9/23/2020

Comments

 
Because of Covid and with flu season just around the corner, now is the time to take actions to improve your health and your immune system.

Part of a healthy immune system is to reduce stress, to get great sleep, eat well, stay hydrated, and to improve and/or eliminate any and all health issues that are causing you pain, imbalance and suffering.  

Acupuncture naturally prompts the healing response in your body and is commonly used to:
  • Boost Immunity
  • Relieve Stress
  • Reduce & Eliminate Pain
  • Improve Sleep (falling and staying asleep)
  • Enhance Mood (helps with anxiety, depression, etc.)
  • Optimize Digestion
  • Balance Hormones
  • Address Allergies
  • Increase Vitality and Energy
  • and of course, have a deep, healing nap!

Community Acupuncture of Marin - Soft Opening

6/29/2020

Comments

 
Thank you for your continued support, patience and understanding. We've been closed since March 15th! It's amazing how our lives have been impacted since then, right???
I'm super pleased to inform you we are reopening in phases, beginning on July 10th, with limited hours at first.

We have implemented quite a few changes to meet the needs of the times, please take a moment to slow down and read through this information before scheduling your next visit or sending inquiries. Thank you!

We look forward to seeing you,
Community Acupuncture of Marin 

Clinic Space - Updated for Everyone's Safety
  • Each treatment station is 8 feet apart, so we have four recliners in our community room (no tables for now). 
  • High touch areas will be cleaned and disinfected regularly throughout the shift.
  • A HEPA filter air purifier will be run at all times during our hours of operation.
  • Paper chair coverings will be changed after each patient.
  • Masks covering the mouth and nose must be worn at all times by everyone. 
Before Your Visit

You will be prompted via email to answer a Mandatory COVID-19 Screening prior to coming to the clinic. This must happen before you enter the clinic.

When scheduling, use the "note" feature to describe the purpose of your visit. We will be limiting talking in person.

Upon Arrival
  • Wash your hands or use your own hand sanitizer.
  • Wait in the front room for your acupuncturist to take your temperature with a no-touch thermometer.
  • Limit the amount of belongings you bring into the space.
  • Take a seat and remove shoes at your treatment chair, do not use cubbies. 
Other Changes
  • Do not bring anyone with you to your treatment without prior consent. 
  • Your appointment time is the time you need to walk through our front door. Please be exactly on time so we can enforce safe physical distancing with the flow of patients coming and going.
  • Talking will be minimized to reduce the spread of germs. Please use the "note" feature when scheduling to let your practitioner know the reason for your visit in writing.
  • Treatment length (needles in) will be 35 minutes. 
  • We can no longer offer blankets or pillows and props. Feel free to bring a small blanket or shawl from home to cover yourself or to use as extra support at your neck or low back. 
  • We are only taking contactless payment with credit /debit cards on file. This means we need a current card on file for you.
  • We are not accepting cash or checks at this time and we are not able to sell frequent visit cards at this time.
Late Cancellation Policy Changes
We now require a 48-hour advance notice to cancel or reschedule appointments, otherwise you will be charged the fee for your visit. This will be strictly enforced. If you DO feel sick, please stay home and rest. If you have to cancel due to illness, please tell us and you will NOT be charged a late cancellation fee. 
Temporary Increase in Cost of Treatment
Our clinic has been able to offer affordable care while treating 6 patients per hour. 

In order to provide SAFE care now, we are currently at capacity treating a maximum of four patients per hour, and we have several additional costs that reduce our revenue. 

In order to remain sustainable, we are temporarily increasing the cost of a return visit treatment to $50, flat fee. 

If you have a frequent visit card, your fee ($50) will be deducted from the total balance remaining on file. 
Access and affordability are the foundation of our mission and we hope to reduce our fees as soon as we can in a sustainable way.
Schedule Acupuncture Here
Why is Brittany the only one on the schedule?
We are reopening in phases. If you haven't been treated by Brittany, she is a skilled and caring practitioner and can continue your care at this stage of our opening.

Ronit is currently available for personal development work and private treatments for a few select patients.

Karena is available for privates and will be adding community hours soon.

For private acupuncture, please inquire via email here.

ALERT for Cold and Flu etc.

2/29/2020

Comments

 
In response to general concerns, we're offering some tips to prevent illness:

🛑 Don’t freak out.
✋ Wash your hands for 20 seconds after being in public spaces and before touching your face or eating.
🌿 Take Chinese Herbs & vitamins for prevention: we carry a few recommended products: Immune+, Reishi or mushroom compounds, Vitamin C / D, and Lonicera Complex (inquire in person or email us.)
😴 Get good sleep and reduce stress.
🥰 Meet your needs for connection.
📺 Turn off / limit exposure to fear based media and the news.

Anyone exhibiting cold or flu symptoms, contact us and DO NOT come into the office. We will not be treating colds or flu at the clinic.

We will prescribe you herbs via brief phone chat (415)250-4009. Herbs will either be delivered or mailed to you asap if you have a cold or flu. Herbs can be a very effective way to reduce symptoms and shorten duration of many illnesses. 

If you exhibit sudden, severe or prolonged symptoms, please don't hesitate visiting your doctor or the emergency room. 
take good care,
​

Ronit, Karena & Brittany
