Dear Beloved Clients,
I hope that you and your loved ones are doing well. This has been a very challenging time for all of us. I wanted to notify you that PBAM will be opening on May 5. If Shelter in Place is extended, acupuncture is an essential business, and PBAM will open. I want to provide the care many of you need. I feel that by taking the following precautions, I can provide you a safe environment for healing. There are several precautions that are taking place to ensure your safety:
- All clients will be pre-screened: Prior to your appointment, you will be sent a questionnaire to screen for COVID-19 symptoms.
- Your Temperature will be taken upon entering the office.
- Both practitioner and client are to wear a face mask. You will not have to wear the mask during your treatment but the practitioner will wear a mask at all times.
- Only one client will be seen at a time with 20 minutes between clients.
- During the time between clients, the treatment room will be cleaned with medical-grade disinfectant. I also will run a UVC/ozone lamp in the room for 20 minutes followed by ventilation before your appointment. I may also use a UVC wand to disinfect the surfaces of the table and other areas that you will be in contact with. There is evidence supporting the use of UVC light to disinfect from COVID-19.
- All surfaces throughout the clinic will be cleaned with a disinfectant or UVC wand. Door knobs are cleaned with each client.
- Every client will be provided a clean set of sheets, pillowcases, and blankets with additional barriers for protection.
- For house calls, the table and materials will be disinfected using a UVC wand before and after all house calls. You may choose to have your appointment outside. In the case of poor weather or poor air quality, the appointment may be done inside your home. At all times, masks are to be worn by both parties. We ask that you use your own sheets. Any surfaces touched will be cleaned with a medical-grade disinfectant wipe.
- Touchless payments are accepted.
The guidelines that are being followed are in accordance with OSHA and the American Society of Acupuncturist.
Other items to note:
- If you have suffered economic hardship due to COVID-19, services may be offered at a sliding scale.

I want to do my best to help address your health needs. Your safety is my top priority. If you have hypertension, I would HIGHLY suggest purchasing your own blood pressure cuff so that you may monitor it daily. Make sure to get in exercise everyday and practice gratitude for the things you do have.
In good health,
Dr. Sam
Samantha is by far the most amazing acupuncturist I’ve ever been to! She has solved every injury I’ve had, including completely getting rid of old ones. Being a professional aerialist is tough on the body, but Samantha keeps me going strong and functioning optimally. She is also a high level athlete herself, and her embodied knowledge is such a plus. Her treatment process is extremely unique, and her knowledge spans wide to where she can tailor fit the ideal treatment from different angles. She’s the perfect combination of efficient and methodical, where she will get a lot done in the session but also takes time to check in and take time where necessary. I always look forward to our sessions. She’s also an absolute gem of a human being! I couldn’t recommend her enough!!
Samantha has been my go-to therapist to help recover and prepare for all of my races. She’s the kind of therapist that understands an athlete’s need to push themselves, and most important, she can tell where the line is when that athlete should pull back. What I like most about Samantha’s treatments is that she takes the time to understand long-term goals and can readily identify the hurdles. She supports my ambitions with a deliberate and holistic approach: acupuncture with mindfulness about how nutrition and stress (physical and mental) can play a part in achieving my personal best. I highly recommend!-
