Season’s Greetings from
Optimal Wellness for the Body & Mind
Dear Friends and Valued Patients:
The holiday season is just about over and, like you, everyone here is excited about the coming year! We are busy working on bringing some new and exciting educational classes for all of our patients in 2012, as well as providing you with the newest techniques and therapies that can enhance and provide “Optimal Wellness”.
New Additions to Optimal Wellness
Optimal Wellness also welcomed our new massage therapist, Tara Thompson in August this year. Tara is a graduate of New York College of Health Professions, where she obtained certification in seated massage, deep tissue and neuromuscular therapy. Over the past 8 years Tara has become a well-known prenatal, infant and pediatric certified massage therapist in Atlanta. Not only does she teach regular classes at Northside Hospital in prenatal and infant massage techniques, but she is also certified as a labor doula. She has truly developed a passion for helping pregnant women, and works closely with local OB/GYNs and midwives. Appointments with Tara are available on Mondays Wednesdays and alternating Fridays and Saturdays by appointment only and can be scheduled in 30, 60, and 90-minute sessions.
Also, we are very excited to welcome little baby, Landon Augustin, son of Dr. Jenn and Dr. Gerald to our office family. He was born on August 21st, weighing 6 lbs.14oz, and 20 inches long. He is often seen around the office these days and enjoys playing with his toys and being rocked to sleep.
Time for a re-check!
If you have not been seen in a while (and you know who you are!), it is time to make an appointment for a spinal check-up. As you know, regular adjustments are important in maintaining your overall health and wellness! If it has been over 2 months since your last visit, we strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
Feeling stressed?
The Holiday season can be a stressful and difficult time for many of us. Emotional stress can have a deteriorating effect on your health, and can be an additional strain on your relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. Optimal Psychological Services offers different techniques, such as biofeedback training, to teach you various relaxation methods and help to regain your focus. Other services include psychological counseling for individuals and couples, as well as psychological evaluations for children to assess for ADHD, Anxiety, Depression and Learning Disabilities.
INSURANCE comments
For those of you with health insurance and chiropractic benefits, please check to see if your plans will be changing in the New Year. Please be sure to bring your new insurance cards with you to your visits after January 1st. Please remember that most plans’ deductibles will be collected on your visits in the New Year. Just as a reminder, remember that most flex-spending and HSA accounts expire at the end of the year. If you have any questions regarding insurance and/or payments, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
LAST, but not Least:
We cannot believe that we are entering into our 6th year already! We just want to thank all of you for your continued support in our practice. Lastly, we would like to offer a special thank you to those patients who referred friends and family to our practice. You have paid us the nicest compliment possible and we appreciate your trust! We look forward to seeing all of you in the New Year! Happy 2012!!
