A big thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the outpouring of well wishes and support our community has given us so far. It means a lot to us. 

Even though we are temporarily suspending our in-person acupuncture services, we are working on finding ways to keep supporting our community to stay healthy and connected:

• Check out our weekly donated-base self-care classes!  

• Some of our herbs/supplements are now available online. Please know that when you purchase supplements from us, we are happy to answer questions about usage and dosage.
• We have an account with fullscript and have access to professional grade supplements. If you purchases supplements regularly anyway, please consider purchasing them through us. 
• You can now book a virtual consultation for your health concerns.  

We appreciate any donation that will help us stay afloat and reopen. If you can, please make a donation today.

Thank you!

**TEMPORARY CLOSURE**

Dear ACA community,

After carefully considering the pros and cons of staying open or temporarily closing, we came to the difficult decision that it is our social responsibility to temporarily close as of Monday, March 16th, in order to help minimize community impact of COVID-19. We plan to re-open on Monday, April 6th (if all goes according to plan). Please check our website for the latest information. If you have any questions, please email us:

We apologize for any inconvenience, and hope you can take this time to take care of yourselves and each other.

Take good care,

-ACA team

Qi Gong & Alexander Technique Classes Suspended

Our Qi Gong and Alexander Technique instructors have decided to suspend all classes at ACA until further notice. We will keep everyone updated as soon as classes resume. In the meantime we encourage you to practice at home and stay healthy!

(Part 3) How to optimize your immunity and your lung health:

Now is the time to prioritize self-care.

Having an optimized immune system can help you avoid getting sick. If you do get infected after having had preventative treatments, your symptoms will likely be less severe and recovery much more rapid. 

Acupunture & cupping are great for supporting the immune system and reducing the effects of stress that take their tole on our bodies, as well as helping to clear internal stagnations so your immune system can work more efficiently. 

Here are some other self-care tips: 

1) Diet: Minimize sugar, alcohol, dairy, greasy fried foods and processed foods as they create congestion in your body.

 --Avoid any foods you have a sensitivity toward as they increase the stress lode for your immune system.

2) Get regular exercise, but don't over-do it and tax your body unneccesarily.

3) Join our Qi Gong classes to help keep circulation and energy moving!
