Healthy Point Acupuncture
Our goal is to get you back to the healthy point, and help you stay there.
Healthy Point Acupuncture will be closing its physical location effective July 1, 2024.
After five years in operation, through the entire pandemic, I've decided to close my private practice.
It feels like the right time. See, I never wanted to be a business owner. My intention through acupuncture school was always to work for someone else, so that I could focus on the part of this process that I'm best at: helping people heal. Since taking a full-time position at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center Integrative Medicine and Health clinic in Lexington, that desire has only intensified. When I took the job, I kept my private practice open as a safety net, in case the job didn't work out for whatever reason.
Running a business is expensive, exhausting, and stressful. And after my own experience with cancer in 2022, I've tried to do a better job of taking care of myself so that I can do a better job of taking care of others.
I'm tired. And I don't want to spend every moment of my life working.
It's time to let something go.
Thank you, all of you, for believing in me. For trusting me with your health and wellness.

Due to office closure in response to the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic, our services have been updated to include only what can be provided through telemedicine or drop-off delivery services.
While acupuncture, cupping, gua sha, reflexology, and our other regular services are impossible to provide safely while social distancing is such an important safety measure, it doesn't mean we aren't still able to help!
As soon as the operational restrictions currently in place to protect our community have been lifted by the CDC, Governor's Office, and Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services, our normal treatment offerings will once again become available.
Telemedicine Consultation
**TELEMEDICINE SESSIONS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR EXISTING PATIENTS LIVING IN KENTUCKY**
Much of what we as practitioners do is just provide a safe and open space to discuss the things going on in your life, and offer guidance from a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective on things that you can do to relieve some of the stress.
Our donation-based Telemedicine Consultation is a flexible, remote way to get that interaction. Whether it's nutritional guidance based on the staples you have on hand, answering questions about how your body and mind are reacting to what's going on, tips for helping you sleep better using things you already have around the house, guided meditations, breathing exercises, or just listening as you vent your frustrations and concerns, we're here for you, however we can be.
Please make sure we have a good phone number to contact you for a voice session, and a good email address to send the login information for a video chat session. Video chat is hosted through doxy.me, a HIPAA compliant hosting service. We will email you the particulars for logging in for your video session.
Please be sure that you've scheduled your Telemedicine Consultation through our Square or Facebook booking tool prior to purchase (your appointment date and time is a required field in order to be able to complete your donation). Whether it's one dollar or a hundred dollars, please donate what you can without putting yourself in jeopardy.
Private Online Qi Gong Session
**TELEMEDICINE SESSIONS ARE ONLY AVAILABLE FOR EXISTING PATIENTS LIVING IN KENTUCKY**
Qi Gong is a wonderful practice that incorporates intentional breathing and slow, easy movements to help your body operate at its best, and can be done without in-person physical intervention from a practitioner. Consider it the Traditional Chinese Medicine equivalent of physical therapy. Your donation will provide you with a friendly and unhurried greeting to check in, followed by a half-hour of personalized instruction to keep your lungs strong, your body moving, and your mind calm. Whether it's just breath work, just movement, or working on combining the two aspects into a seamless practice, we'll meet you where you are on the day, and support you however we can from afar. Shoes are optional, honesty is required, and smiles will be welcomed, even if they take some work.
Please make sure we have a good email address to send the login information for a video chat session. Video chat is hosted through doxy.me, a HIPAA compliant hosting service. We will email you the particulars for logging in for your video session. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move and breathe freely.
Please be sure that you've scheduled your Private Online Qi Gong session through our Square or Facebook booking tool prior to purchase (your appointment date and time is a required field in order to be able to complete your donation). Whether it's one dollar or a hundred dollars, please only donate what you can afford to without putting yourself in jeopardy.
Self Moxa Kits
**THIS ITEM IS ONLY AVAILABLE FOR EXISTING PATIENTS. ORDERS FOR NEW PATIENTS WILL BE CANCELLED**
Our Self Moxa Kit is a seven-day supply of everything you need to give yourself an energetic boosting, overall wellness promoting moxibustion treatment in the comfort of your own home (well... we recommend performing your treatments outside with better ventilation and a greater opportunity to get some Vitamin D...). Included is seven pre-prepared slices of fresh ginger, 7 moxa bundles, and a stick of incense to help you safely light your moxa bundle. We'll also include a set of instructions and safety precautions (either printed and included in your delivery, or emailed prior to delivery) to make sure you have the best experience in self-care at home, Traditional Chinese Medicine style.
Please allow 24 hours for preparation, assembly, and delivery. If you need a lighter or matches, please let us know in your special instructions, and we'll try to include that in your kit as well. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us before ordering.
Please note: Moxa Kits to be obtained during the SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 pandemic will be delivered to your front door, without personal contact. We will advise you via text or email once your moxa kit has been delivered.
We also have gift certificates available for online purchase. Use this as a way to make a donation to help keep us operating during this difficult time, and then use it later once things calm down and we're able to reopen our office to the public. Specific denominations are offered, as well as customizable amounts to fit your wants and needs.
This is a difficult time for all small businesses in the U.S. right now, and we're no different. We're working super hard to keep providing you with the absolute best in Traditional Chinese Medicine care that we can while we observe social distancing in an effort to keep transmission of this virus as low as possible and protect as many lives as we can. We understand that this has put a financial, emotional, and physical strain on everyone, and we do so very much appreciate your continued support, financial or otherwise. We also understand that money may be tight, and we're always willing to accept non-monetary donations as well, if you feel compelled to give but can't afford to give from the wallet. Please reach out to us if you'd like to arrange a trade in exchange for one of our services.

A quick note about telemedicine and HIPAA:
The Department of Health and Human Services has recommended discretion to its Office for Civil Rights to waive penalties for potential HIPAA violations in an effort to allow providers to use available technology like FaceTime and Skype for telehealth services. Read about it here. This is an effort to encourage providers to be able to provide services to their patients quickly, without having to worry about strict compliance by existing apps if used in good faith. We have transitioned our telehealth services to doxy.me, which is a HIPAA compliant host for video chat sessions. We also use Google Voice for phone calls, which is HIPAA compliant from our understanding. By scheduling these telehealth sessions, you are giving consent to communicate in these ways. If you have any concerns at all, please reach out to us.
