To The Point Acupuncture welcomes you! It is easy to say that there is a common goal that most would agree with. That is…..to live the most vibrant life we can live. Through all the various changes within our course of life comes adaptations and new experiences. How we handle these changes physically, mentally, and emotionally determines the overall outcome of those experiences. Do you ever just feel like you are soaring through life with complete ease? Most of us would say no. Most are either experiencing some form of chronic pain or difficulty regulating emotions, or are just not feeling well. That’s where alternative medicine is beginning to make its most abundant appearance. All too often people are becoming completely tied to their symptoms and are not living the lives we all so desire and deserve. We want that life for you.  Our team consist of Stacey Kent, Nicole Mougianis, Autumn Snavely, and Jennifer Norfolk. Our paths all crossed within the last few years through our journey of learning and loving this medicine. The idea of collaboration was inspired due to our individual aspirations of providing care and compassion we feel our patients need and deserve. We each have our own unique experiences and passions that allow for a multifaceted approach towards care. We strive to empower our patients to become active participants in their wellness through education, communication and lifestyle adaptations. We are immensely grateful for the opportunity to facilitate healing within you both inside and outside the clinic.  What exactly is Acupuncture you may ask…. Acupuncture is an ancient medicinal modality that encourages the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting thin filiform needles at specific acupuncture points. (Do they hurt? Click here )This effective Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) method involves our body’s channels of energy known as Qi (What’s Qi? Click here ) which flow in regular patterns within the body and over its surface. These energy channels are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the movement of these “energy rivers” is like a dam that backs up. The channels can be influenced by needling the acupuncture points; the acupuncture needles unblock the obstructions at the dams and reestablish a regular energy flow through the body.  While experiences and outcomes vary person to person, it’s a unique alternative to keep in mind for various conditions such as stress, anxiety, depression, back or joint pain, headaches, shingle pain, digestive issues, menstrual issues etc.
We offer a variety of services: Acupuncture, Pediatric Acupuncture,Herbal Medicine,Cupping,Tui Na(Chinese Massage),Guasha,Moxa,Electroacupuncture,Kinesiotaping, Yoga & Mindfulness. All of which have further descriptions here. We can understand hesitation… Acupuncture isn’t as mainstreamed as most therapies. If you are hesitant and just want to talk to one of of practitioners first, we offer free 30 minutes consultations! We look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your health goals!

Not me!” That was my reaction to this post on a friend’s Facebook page a little over a year ago…I wore these shoes and yes I have a few wrinkles but I’m NEVER putting a toxin like Botox in my body! This post did inspire me to step up my skin care regimen. I was pretty sure my old bar of soap and witch hazel pads were not going to cut it much longer. As I began searching for an anti-aging skin care line, I was confused and overwhelmed by all the choices (and prices) from the grocery store beauty isle to the cosmetic counter. I wanted to avoid putting chemicals on my skin that would be absorbed into my body and bloodstream. I tried one natural line but the smell was atrocious and the results were minimal at best. Then one day while reading a blog I normally read for mothering and spiritual wisdom, I learned of an all natural, aloe based skin care line called L’BRI PURE n’NATURAL. Some research led me to ordering sample sets of the facial skin care and body care line...this was the best 14$ I’ve spent on skin care. In just one week of use, my skin was changing before my eyes. My face was softer and smoother and I could see blemishes healing (yes I’m of an age some people think I need Botox and I still have acne...what a combo!). Even the eczema on my hands was clearing up and my feet were no longer as dry and itchy. I also loved the smell of all the products! Within days of trying the products, I knew I’d found something special and ordered a facial skin care set and body care set. After using the products for four months, in November of 2017 I decided to do sometime completely out of my comfort zone… I entered the direct sales community as an independent skin care consultant with L’BRI. My goal is to introduce others to these amazing products that have the power to heal and rejuvenate skin with natural ingredients. We offer products that are safe, effective, high quality and affordable for the whole family-babies, teens, and men and women can all use our products. It would be my pleasure to let you experience the L’BRI difference for yourself. On May 5 th, I will be at Green on the Green in Worthington where you can try some of the L’BRI products. But if you, and your skin, can’t wait until May, visit my website: www.lbri.com/sarahking to order your free samples or email me to setup a one on one skin consultation.

However, only about 2.5% of the Earth’s water is freshwater, and only 1% of that is accessible to humans in the form of rivers, streams, and lakes. The Olentangy River is a 97 mile long tributary that runs through six counties: Richland, Crawford, Marion, Morrow Delaware, and Franklin. It eventually meets and joins the Scioto River in downtown Columbus. Because of its position on the watershed, the city of Worthington and its residents actively contribute, both positively and negatively, to the health of the watershed. Therefore, it is essential that responsible environmental decisions are practiced by the city’s residents.
Founded in 1997, Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed (FLOW) is a community education and outreach organization active in the Columbus community for the past twenty years. Their mission is to keep the Olentangy River and its tributaries clean and safe for all to enjoy by focusing on public education, volunteer activities, and coordination with local decision-makers. FLOW is a member-based organization made up of hardworking and dedicated volunteers who care about the health of the Olentangy Watershed. They are active members of the community as well, working with local businesses and schools, such as Cranbrook Elementary School and Ohio State University. As an education and outreach organization, volunteer events are an important part of FLOW’s programming, and are an opportunity for the public to get involved. FLOW facilitates river cleanups, removing trash and other waste from the Olentangy River and its tributaries to keep the river clean. Additionally, they frequently have programs to remove invasive honeysuckle plants from areas around the watershed, giving native Ohio plants room to grow. This also supports other native flora and fauna that calls the watershed its home. Through their local partnerships and volunteer events, FLOW strives to be an active member and partner to the communities that sit on the watershed. Through FLOW’s work, they work tirelessly to create a culture of care for the Olentangy and its tributaries, and to create a community of responsible environmental stewards. To find out more FLOW, visit their website at olentangywatershed.org, or search “Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed (FLOW)” on Facebook. The Big Green Guide was inspired by Green on the Green, an annual event held outdoors in Worthington, Ohio since 2010. Green on the Green brings together eco-conscience consumers and earth friendly businesses & organizations promoting green and healthy living. The BGG offers to expand the exposure of these businesses and organizations by providing an ongoing presence online.
We believe, to truly make a difference we need to participate in reducing our contribution to climate change and the general “trashing” of our planet where and whenever we can. We need to "vote" for earth with our dollars and time - by supporting green businesses and local organizations. The Big Green Guide aims to bring eco-conscience consumers together with earth and community friendly businesses and organizations 24/7. It is our belief that together we can make a difference for ourselves and generations to come. |
