Reunion Acupuncture and Wellness

First clinic day with masks optional! Big thank you to OHA for their guidance through the pandemic. You can still wear a mask if you prefer, and feel free to ask me to wear one for your appointment.

Here for the holidays! Hey, neighbors, I am not taking much extra time off over the holidays, so I am here to support you through your stresses and injuries. Come on in, Tuesday through Saturday.

Thank you, patients, for so cheerfully paying your missed appointment fees!
