De-lurking my business partner
Lately I have been a total slacker blogger by asking others to write stuff for me to post. And so I am at it again. This month I asked my fabulous business partner Pam Chang to write about her experiences of opening a new CA clinic as a newly licensed practitioner. Some of you know Pam's great article in Yes! magazine, but she is a pretty quiet person and doesn't usually post on CAN. I thought it was time folks got to know her better.
Just a few little numbers before I let Pam take the stage: we have been open for almost 8 weeks. We have given a total of 221 treatments. We made a profit in our first full month (April) and were able to pay ourselves a little bit. We are having a great time! - tatyana

On Opening Sarana Community Acupuncture
by Pamela O’Malley Chang, April 2008
New Clinic is open in the SF Bay Area!
I am posting below a guest blog from my sweetie, Paul, describing our new clinic.
I will just preface it with a couple of comments:
We are in Albany, CA, just north of Berkeley.
We had a lovely "soft opening" last Wednesday. We treated 20 people in the first two days of business.
We are currently open 3 days a week and have 30 appointments booked for the upcoming week!
Later this week we are having a space-clearing and blessing ceremony and we plan to have an opening reception sometime in the next month or two.
