As news of the closing of Core Healing, the clinic, continues to reach Dr. Marshall's longtime, cherished clientele - we here at Core Healing thank you for your heartfelt well wishes to Ryan, as he takes a well deserved, much needed sabbatical.
After building a robust practice from 16 years of 12 hour days - treating patients - who quickly became like family - clients for whom Ryan has been doctor for every care need experienced - and from his many workshops, retreats and devoted students - another wellness practice Ryan offered for many years - this break was not an easy decision to make - but it is necessary.
It comes at a time the Alaskan landscape for acupuncturists has been rocky with multiple health insurance company changes causing enormous changes for practitioners...significant increases in paperwork required by the insurance companies - and significant extra time needed to fight for patients' health insurance rights, increased overhead costs, amongst others. Perhaps 40% of the acupuncturist community has either exited Alaska, switched to cash payment for treatment, while many practitioners have chosen to leave clinical practice altogether.
This is unfortunate for natural health care consumers - since we who were healed by Dr. Ryan's, and others' work, know the value of acupuncture, and all its branches of healing it provides.
Ryan's ever present code of discipline means he will continue self care practices, of being in service to creating and empowering health for others - but for him first at this time - concluding with completion of a second doctorate next year.
When the time is right, we hope to announce Dr. Marshall's return to practice - sharing his unique skills and powerful healing practices. 'Where' is another question that will be answered at that time.
Finally, Ryan is extremely touched by the tremendous outpouring of support he's received - including the nomination - by you - his clients, as this year's 'Alaska's Best Acupuncturist.'
Your votes have and will cast him in the winner's circle three years in a row as Core Healing, Alaska's Best Acupuncturist.
Apparently clients' plan to to cast him in this circle one last time - as a final thank you to him, via The Daily News "Best of Alaska" contest.
We've also noticed an increase in 5 star Google reviews. Gratitude!
We at Team Core Healing think these are perfect ways to say thank you and good-bye to a health care professional as devoted to being in service to you - as you are to him.
