Anna R. Dix Acupuncture & Shiatsu Therapy

Hello all,

I hope you are feeling well and managing through these strange times.

I have spent the last few days reflecting on how I feel I can best serve you and perform both my professional and social duty to help ‘flatten the curve.’ In this time of social distancing, I question whether or not I am providing more help than harm by continuing to run my clinical practice. As such, I have come to the decision that effective today, my clinic will be closed for the next 2 or more weeks.

As a non-essential health care service, it seems that my best effort to maintain professional ethics is to set an example. Social distancing is our best tool in preventing our hospital system from being overburdened during this pandemic and as such, I believe it is in your best interest to not encourage you to travel to my clinic at this time.

All of this being said, I am open to phone/skype consultations if need be. I am also willing to assess, on a case by case basis, whether or not someone truly would find acupuncture an essential form of health care at this time.

I hope you understand. I know that a great deal of you rely on acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine as part of your regular health management regimen, and I want to be there for you as best I can.

Please let me know if you would like to chat by phone if you have further questions or concerns.

Take care and stay safe,

Anna

What an interesting read. Rethinking how we interact with children so they can learn better coping skills for life.

Everything you think you know about disciplining kids is wrong Negative consequences, timeouts, and punishment just make bad behavior worse. But a new approach really works.
