Hello everyone, I have wanted to update you all on the new KCA schedule that started in January and will go through May 1.
The Friday morning schedule has been changed to a start time of 10:15am and will go through the same closing time at 12 noon. I fully expect the Friday schedule to return to a start time of 9:15 after May 1, but I will keep you informed!
KCA closed Tuesday February 2nd
Due to an event being held by Vote Common Good in the Solomon’s Porch space, KCA will be closed Tuesday, February 4th. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience, but if you’re interested, please stop by and check out what it’s all about! KCA will be held as usual February 11.
Due to National Night Out activities tonight August 6, 2019 there will be no KCA treatments. Sorry for any inconvenience…see you Friday at 9:15 as usual!
I have FINALLY decided on an EHR that includes online scheduling, and I’m able to manage both the KCA community setting and private setting patients all with the same system! I really hope this makes scheduling easy for everyone!
I’m excited to announce that everyone can now schedule online using the Unified Practice scheduling system. If you could, please fill out any forms the system asks you to- I would really appreciate any feedback you have, in particular on the forms, the process of scheduling, and any other general comments you may have.
Thank you so much for your help and hope to see you soon!
I recently became aware of this interesting and well-written article about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including some perspectives that are uncharacteristically open and supportive of herbal treatments, which is not common for mainstream articles on this ancient healthcare system.
Please give it a read and let me know your comments on it- does it enlighten your perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine or other traditional medicines? What new things did you learn?
KCA will be closed Friday June 16, 2017 so I can celebrate my son Henry’s 9th birthday. I’m sorry if this inconveniences anyone! Otherwise, I hope all you fathers out there enjoy a Happy Father’s Day!
KCA will be closed on June 16, so I can celebrate my son’s 9th birthday! How time flies!!!
I hope this does not inconvenience anyone- please call me directly, or adjust your appointments using the online schedule to make sure you’re still able to receive treatments.
I’m writing to say I won’t be treating my private patients, nor will I be treating at Kingfield Community Acupuncture on Tuesday Feb 28th. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience, but I don’t want to expose anyone to what I’m experiencing!
I hope you’ve been able to avoid what is a nasty bug!
I should return to normal in a day or so, but I will be in contact!
If you’re a parent, or soon will/would like to be one, crying babies will be known to you. There can be many reasons for a crying baby, but one that cries for hours on end is not only heartbreaking (and crazy-making), but could indicate a health problem the baby is experiencing, but can’t communicate.
A recent study showed that acupuncture may help babies suffering from intestinal colic. It even showed that one needle, even when compared to a group of needles, may be useful in treating the condition. In children, and in acupuncture treatments in general, more needles are not necessarily better.

Acupoints can also be stimulated in other ways, and can prove most useful when trying to help children. Point massage, laser, tuning fork stimulation and other ways to stimulate acupuncture points may help your child stay healthy and treat issues when they arise.
I will be teaching a children’s health class for parents on January 21, 2017 from 1-3pm where I will give more information for parents to help their kids maintain health and provide support for their kids when they do become ill. Topics taught include massage techniques, specific points for maintaining children’s health using a tuning fork, dietary advice.
