Finally, after exactly 5 months (it’s hard to believe that we closed March 13!), we are thrilled to announce we are reopening on Friday, August 14th. We had some rest, reflection, and are fully recharged to bring balance, healing, and love to our community. BOOKS ARE OPEN FOR MEMBERS ONLY Until further notice, we will […]

While the “new normal” has proved challenging, we’re doing our best to stay grounded. Here are a few things we’ve been enjoying. We hope you do, too.   What We’re Listening To Slipping between Nazi-occupied Poland and the frenzied pace of modern life, Kelly Rimmer creates an emotional narrative that weaves together two women’s stories.

Dear Promise Program members: Thank you so much for your loyalty throughout the shut-down due to Covid-19. We have had more support and well-wishes than we could have imagined and cannot wait to welcome you back to TSP. We have been working hard on a number of things.

On July 1, 2007 we opened our doors on Westmoreland Avenue (now the lower level of Scissor and Comb). I specifically remember signing a 5 year lease saying I’ll probably be done by then and can fall back on being a solo acupuncturist. 5 years = success. I had an infant, and I still attribute […]

This Father’s Day, we put the spotlight on our own fathers. They’ve challenged us to be better people, helped us grow our careers, and encouraged us to take pride in what we do. Their words are as important now as they were then. Thank you, Dads. 

It seems unreal that we have been closed for over three months. As I talk to colleagues and friends, although our quarantine realities may be different, the illusion of time and its warp is similar: some weeks fly, some weeks crawl. This Great Pause has certainly changed us all in some way, and at the […]
