I closed my private practice in Feb 2020 and am not currently booking appointments. Thank you for your interest in my practice and I wish you well. Please be in touch to discuss or ask questions about this medicine, my experience, or my writing.

It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing the closure of my acupuncture practice, Shawna Seth, L.Ac. After Friday February 21, 2020 I will no longer be seeing patients at my current office. It has been an honor and great pleasure providing for your health and wellness needs. My wish is that my departure be as easy on you as possible.
To my current patients: My priority is continuing to provide quality care for you through Friday February 21. My recommendation for you is to continue with our regular schedule (or more frequent if you want to maximize time together). As part of our work together over the next month, I will make sure you have a personalized transition plan. Then I'll work with your next acupuncturist as appropriate to make continuation of care as smooth as possible.
Even if I'm Not a Current Patient, What Do I Need to Do? At this time, I recommend that you begin to arrange for care with another acupuncturist. I have a set of practitioners I particularly recommend and can provide that list at your request. You may also want to refer to your insurance directory for a list of in network practitioners in the area. You're also welcome to come back and see me while I'm still available (through Friday, February 21).
Your medical records are confidential. To allow Shawna Seth, L.Ac. to transfer or release your medical records, please complete the authorization form I am mailing to you (contact me for an electronic version) and return it to my office as soon as possible. If you do not choose to transfer your medical records, no further action is required and your records will remain on file.
Why? I am so proud of what we've built together. I set out to create a space and experience that anticipated your needs and gave you a place to feel heard, relaxed, empowered, and restored so you could heal and understand why so you were more in charge of your own health. I believe we achieved that. And I have genuinely loved being your acupuncturist. The truth is that running a business is challenging and for that reason I have decided to take my career in a different direction.
What's Next? I have joined Integrative Fertility, a group of local acupuncturists who provide on-site care at fertility centers in San Francisco. So while I determine my next full-time position (and hopefully beyond), I will still be doing fertility acupuncture. I will be returning to the Integrative Fertility Symposium in April to keep updated on the best science and techniques in our field. And I hope to find a full-time position that continues the women’s health work that is so meaningful to me.
I plan to continue sharing my viewpoint and expertise on my A Cuppa Qi blog and Instagram so stay subscribed to keep updated and let me know if there's something you'd like to see from me here.
Staying in Touch

I have greatly valued our relationship and thank you for your loyalty and trust over the years. I hope there is at least one aha moment or tip or memory that has helped you beyond the acupuncture treatment itself. If you would be willing to share that with me now or in the future that would be amazing. You are amazing and I have been so humbled and grateful to work with you.
Best wishes for your future health and wellness,
Shawna
