Toys for Tots = Free Treatment

What are you giving family and friends for the holidays? Give them a chance to become healthy, and you could win a FREE 90 minute professional massage by helping us collect toys for the needy!
People often ask us, “Can you treat such and such condition?”  This is natural since once one experiences the amazing benefits of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, it is hard not to want the same for your children, spouse, friends, family, and co-workers!
If you know someone who lives locally and is suffering from any of the following:  headaches, fatigue, insomnia, pain, digestive trouble, mood swings, infertility, hormone imbalances, sinus problems, or other stress-related conditions, help us help them.  As a gift to them from you and us we will send them:
1. A beautiful holiday greeting card.
2. A Gift Certificate to use for a complimentary consultation, evaluation and 1st acupuncture treatment valued at $140 for FREE.
3. A letter explaining the gift.

Simply bring, or email us the address(es) of the people you would like us to mail the card to.  We will address the envelopes, provide the postage and mail them for you.  There is no limit to the number of these that you can have sent.  In addition, for every one of your gift cards given out who come in for the treatment you will get an entry into a drawing for a FREE 90 minute massage. What does this gift cost you?
Simply this, all you have to do is make a toy donation to our toy drive for “Toys for Tots.” On the back of this letter is a complete “Wish List” of toys they have requested.
Winners for the massage will be notified by January 15, 2011. Please help us fulfill our purpose of helping as many people as we can get healthy, help your friends and family get healthy, and help us support Toys for Tots. This is a win – win situation.  You have the opportunity to help people that you care about for FREE and you are able to give a child in need a gift during these hard economic times. Happy Holidays!   Jack, Matt, & Kim


Meet Our Newest Team Member

Matt Wagner M.S.O.M, L.Ac, received his degree from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder CO.  He additionally completed a private, two-year internship with Jack Schaefer, at Mountain West Wellness, focusing on herbal and classical theory, needle and hand manipulation techniques, and Qi Gong. 

Matt has also had a deepening meditation practice for the last 13 years.  He was previously ordained as a Buddhist monk, and spent 3 years between undergrad and grad school in strict monastic practice in several different monasteries, with several different teachers across the country.  Matt brought a vital energy to the monasteries he trained in, serving as head-cook, meditation leader, and head-monk, among other things, and held the space to offer teacher/student interview, as well as spiritual council.  Along the way, Matt has lead, and co-lead meditation retreats in the United States and Europe, serving as both meditation instructor and leader, and yoga instructor. 

Matt's treatment style is informed both by these years of meditation, and by the expression of that meditation through all of the various arts of Chinese medicine, from needling technique and herbal diagnosis, to tuina, qi gong, ba gua - and finally, his favorite hobby, cooking.  In this way, both the treatment and the advice to the patient are as well rounded as possible, using all means available to overcome the barriers to a patients healing process, whether they are physical, energetic, or spiritual.  Matt believes firmly that healing is a co-creative process and works with patients through regular treatment, dietary and lifestyle advice, and daily practices to give patients the keys to their own best health.
