Vital Signs - 18 January 2021
Dear Circle, Welcome to 2021. I'll be the first to admit that 10 months of facing a global pandemic has not been easy on my mental health. Reminiscing about other times, while sitting alone with my dog on this remote island, I realize how much I miss YOU: this amazing group of friends, family, clients, supporters, students and teachers. I have loved connecting with both familiar and new faces during our monthly New Moon Support Hour, now completely virtual. This is a free event open to everyone! If you want to tune in, even just to listen, please do. Our next meeting is February 10th, and you can RSVP here. In other news, I am seeing patients virtually and in-person from Petersburg, Alaska, and am now accepting most insurances including Medicare, Alaska Medicaid, and Premera / Blue Cross Blue Shield. To schedule a virtual or in-person appointment, please call: 907.722.4291 I, Dr. Kayla Luhrs, MD, offer general/primary medical consultations, Ayurveda, preventive medicine, prenatal care, medical nutrition, and Ketamine infusions in addition to hospital and ER services.
From the medical yoga Everett House sessions, to opening our doors for Free Lunch Friday in NE Portland, to the January Workshops for Love in 2018 with Suzanne McQueen at SomaSpace, to gathering the artistic healing visions of our community as part of the First Friday gallery walk in downtown Juneau, and finally to our current virtual circles and pandemic reconnaissance, thank you for showing up for me, yourself and each other. It's truly a blessing.
In Peace, Health and Love,
Dr. Kayla Luhrs, MD
Board Certified Family Physician
500 Hour Yoga Teacher Certified
Ayurvedic Health Counselor
CEO & Co-Founder Moon Cycle Medicine Inc
