Community Acupuncture at OurSpace

Somewhere along the way we learned that after a long, hard, stressful week at the job site that we owe it to ourselves to go out and have a drink on Friday night to blow off steam and get ready for the weekend. For many of us, that one drink turns into five, and our promising weekend gets compressed into a Saturday hangover recovery and a Sunday scramble session to get ready for another mundane Monday...

If you want to experience a way to leave the frenetics and stresses of your week behind that actually works, drop by OurSpace Acupuncture. I'll be there serving up acupuncture pin doses of rest, detoxification, and relaxation. Walk-ins are welcome, so bring a friend, co-worker, or significant other with you!

Start up is a beast (i.e., a real challenge)!

Howdy.  I just graduated from Tai Sophia with my Master's in Acupuncture, but now is when the real schooling begins.  Between getting licenses, malpractice insurance, business cards, websites, renting space (and trust me, the list goes on...), I feel busier than I did in school!  The purpose of this post is to do two things:


1.  My apologies for this basic looking blog/website!  I had to get something up here because I'm placing my business card order today... It would be a shame to put my web address as www.farrisacupuncture.blogspot.com on the cards and find out two weeks from now with a stack of fresh cards at the front office that it was already taken now wouldn't it?  I promise to do a much better job on this blog thing... probably much later...


2.  The basics of what I do - I primarily practice acupuncture, which involves inserting tiny pins into the skin in order to promote your body's natural capacity to heal and stay well.  Therefore you leave Farris feeling fine, feeling well, and with less of whatever brought you in to see me.  This could be "stress", headaches, fatigue, back pain, "anxiety", menstrual issues, sleep issues, depression... the list goes on.  While it may not go away with one session (although it could, I've had it happen before), if it negatively affects your body, mind, emotions, or spirits, acupuncture can probably help with it.

Right now I give one-on-one sessions in Silver Spring, MD on a sliding scale of $45-$100.  That means you decide what's affordable and appropriate for you to pay.  It doesn't much matter to me, I'm just thankful to be doing something that I like that's helping people and not making more of a mess of our country and our planet!  Feel free to contact me at ftjiii@yahoo.com.  Peace.
