The Qi Store
Patient Referral Program
We're excited to announce a new referral program at RiverWest for our patients! It's very simple and we think it's going to be quite fun!
Here's how it works: You give a Qi Dollar to the person you're referring. (You can pick up Qi Dollars at your next visit to the office). Once they have come for a visit you will receive a Qi dollar of your own to spend at our Qi store. The more referrals that come to see us, the more stuff you get the chance to buy.
Spend one at a time or save them up for a bigger purchase. Ask Tina or Scott for a list of what's available at the Qi Store this month!

The Greatness In and Of Others
Recognizing Our Own Greatness
It is often said that "We cannot recognize greatness in others unless we too possess that same quality in ourselves."
We are all moved by greatness when we see it and although the experience is to some degree subjective, we know the feeling of it. When we encounter greatness, it's as if something in us stirs, awakens, and comes forth to meet what was inside us all along. When we respond to someone else's greatness, we feed our own.
A person who is said to possess greatness stands apart from others in some way, usually by the size or originality of their vision and their ability to manifest that vision. And yet those who recognize that greatness, whether they display it themselves or not, also have greatness within them; otherwise, they could not see it in another. In many ways, the achievements of one person always belong to many, for we accomplish nothing alone in this world. People who display greatness rely upon others who are able to see as they do, to listen, encourage, and support.
Our recognition of this is a call to action that, if heeded, will inspire others to see in us the greatness they also possess. This creates a chain reaction of greatness unfolding itself endlessly into the future.
Ultimately, greatness is simply the best of what humanity has to offer. Greatness does what has not been done before and inspires the same courage that it requires. When we see it in others, we know it and when we trust its presence in ourselves, we embody it.
At RWA we consistently look for our greatness as a result of the greatness found in you , our patients. You inspire us to move from good to better.
In this newsletter we are offering new things that forward our service to you. Please let us know what you think.

| They just keep coming!
We are excited to announce the addition of two new practictioners to the RiverWest Team.
Laura A. Goff L.Ac.
Laura is the one of the newest member of the RiverWest team. She is a licensed acupuncturist and a Chinese Herbologist, and earned her Master's degree at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine. Laura approaches her acupuncture practice with humor, compassion, creative energy, and the enthusiasm of a lifelong student of Chinese Medicine. Laura actively listens to her patients' bodies and stories and weaves together treatments that facilitate her patients' healing transformations. She activley incorporates several acupuncture styles into her practice including; gentle Japanese needling and abdominal palpation, Five Element emphasis on emotional and spiritual aspects of healing, and Tan and Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques for treating physical ailments. Laura is also a certified 1000 Hands Buddha Qi Gong teacher and incorporates qi gong healing methods into her practice. Before coming to acupuncture, she completed her undergraduate degree in Fine Arts and Urban Studies at the University of Pennsylvania and worked as a graphic designer and an arts administrator. While the progression from design to acupuncture was unlikely, it has honed her creativity and problem solving skills. In addition to practicing acupuncture, Laura is a mom and a yoga and hiking enthusiast.
Jennifer L. Funk L.Ac.As a practitioner, Jennifer believes that everyone can enjoy good health. Sometimes one just needs a subtle nudge or reminder of the body's incredible healing powers.
Using a gentle style, Jennifer enjoys working with all kinds of clients and their diverse health and healing challenges. She graduated from Eastern Oregon University as a three-time, all-American athlete with a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education and health. She had hoped to continue her running career, but illness reset her priorities and her future. In her own quest for health and fulfillment, she discovered the healing power of alternative medicine. She studied at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine in Portland, Ore., where she focused on Traditional Chinese Medicine including Chinese Medical Theory of Acupuncture and Herbology, Qigong, Taiji, Shiatsu, and Tuina. Jennifer graduated with a Master's in Acupuncture and Oriental medicine in 2007.
