What’s New

Great Wave Acupuncture & Wellness is now offering a new service: our Dyad Meditation Program.

Patricia is the leader of our Dyad Meditation Program. Grounded in social neuroscience and inspired by the Humanize Dyad Foundation Program, this 9-week program combines educational classes with daily Dyad meditation practice to help participants build resilience and strengthen capacities such as empathy, compassion, and social connectedness.

National Nutrition Month occurs every March to celebrate the role of food and nutrition in the health and wellness of people across the United States. Each year brings a new theme, and I am the most excited for this year’s focus on the social and cultural impact of how food brings people together.

February is American Heart month, a time to celebrate heart healthy habits. Try this delicious and satisfying trail mix that is packed with heart healthy nutrients!

Check out the news and social media at the start of the New Year, and we all get inundated with resolutions. I never did like this word, and looking up the actual definition, I like it even less. Let’s change the focus to building new habits. Habits are something to work on daily, if there is a setback, learn from it, and move on.

Great news for our patients! Our providers are continuing to become in-network and credentialed for insurance coverage!

Lauryn is awaiting contracting with the insurance companies for acupuncture coverage. We will post updates immediately when Lauryn can start taking insurance patients. In the meantime, all out of pocket acupuncture appointments with Lauryn will be discounted by $20 through the end of December, 2024!

Andrei will be offering massage appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays. He offers a wide variety of modalities including myofascial release, deep tissue, cupping, hot stone, and more!

The holiday season is filled with family and friends, cooking, decorations, and a reflection of history. There are so many different holidays celebrated within the month of December. The holiday season means something different to everyone who celebrates, with food often at the center of many holiday traditions.

Sherry will be at Great Wave on Saturdays and adding an evening weekday shift soon. She will be offering appointments for acupuncture, cupping-only appointments, and Medical Qi Gong/Reiki.

I counsel patients who struggle with emotional eating, yet this is separate from allowing food to trigger emotions. My examples in this post elicit happy memories and anticipated pleasures. The instances of emotional eating that may be tricky to navigate usually entail using food to soothe an emotion.

Great Wave is pleased to announce Massage Therapy is now available! Marcia Murach, LMT will be joining Great Wave on Sunday, October 6, 2024.

September means apple season is here! My family and I go apple picking at least once, usually two or three times each Fall. We certainly love to eat the apples just as they are, yet finding creative ways to use them is also fun and delicious!

As most families with young children know, getting your kids out the door to school with a healthy and tasty packed lunch can be challenging. Bento boxes can be super helpful with packing items kids will enjoy with a focus on appropriate portions to include variety and not overwhelm picky eaters.
