As you may know, we are regarded as an essential business and have now acquired the proper PPE, done our research (sifting through complicated products and procedures) and have tirelessly discussed with colleagues how to proceed and we have come to a place that we feel is safe for both our patients and practitioners to open our doors! YAY!!
Keeping everyone safe in the midst of so much unknown is our top priority and with that in mind we have put in place protocols that we will all need to follow to maintain our collective well-being.

Phase 1 Alchemy Opening
Our new hours of operation:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday - Appointments 10 to 6.
Wednesdays - Tearoom & Herbs Curbside Pick Up 10 to 3.
Saturday - Appointments 11 to 4.
- We will be scheduling all appointments 30 minutes apart so that each room can be thoroughly disinfected and aired out between patients.
- Please wait outside or in your car until your practitioner texts you that it is time to come in.
- We will be utilizing a "one-way-in and one-way-out" approach during Phase 1... This means we are asking our patients to park in the parking lot and when your practitioner texts you, please walk around the building to the door that is on Clayton Street and come in through that door. When your treatment is over, you will checkout at the desk (if necessary) and exit through the door on the deck.
- Wear and maintain a face covering for your entire appointment (Your practitioner will maintain a mask and gloves at all times). Please let us know ahead of time if you do not have a mask to wear. Pardon any inconvenience, but at this time we cannot allow anyone in the building without a mask.
- We will be screening all patients prior to appointments and all staff at the start of each day.
- At this time we will not be able to see any patient that is exhibiting any signs of cold or flu (or COVID-19) in our clinic. We can absolutely schedule you an Herbal Consult via the phone or Zoom, etc. Chinese herbs are extremely effective for colds and flu.
- If possible, please pay for your services on-line through our scheduling software.
- For the next few weeks (at minimum) there will be no receptionist. Your practitioner will be checking you out until further notice, again, in the name of minimizing risk. This means that there will not be someone answering phones as easily as usual. Please use our scheduling software on our website to book appointments, call on Wednesdays to talk to Victoria, or leave a message during any day and someone will call you back. As always, if you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911.
- During Phase 1, our kitchen will only be open (as it has been) on Wednesdays 10 - 3 for to-go only. Call ahead for your kitchiri, bone broth, and any herb prescriptions that you need to pick up. We will be adding some of our other regular items little by little as demand increases so don't hesitate to ask. We will not reopen the tearoom during patient hours until we are confident that we can manage to keep our patients, tearoom customers, and ourselves safe.
Please be patient with us as we navigate through these uncharted waters. Some protocols may shift as we are closely monitoring the changes dictated by our state and local governments, as well as the CDC.
Perhaps most importantly, if there is anything that you feel we have overlooked, anything that would make you feel more safe, please let us know.
We look so forward to seeing each of you soon!
Sincerely,
Emmy, Lex, Nathalie, Lindsey, Toni, Whitney
Liza, Claire, Victoria, Ash, Dani

al·chem·y
the process of transforming something common into something special ...
Alchemy seeks to transform the way Chinese Medicine is experienced through the creation of a vibrant and welcoming sanctuary. As a tearoom, apothecary, acupuncture clinic, and massage practice, we are committed to nourishing the individual and community while supporting environmental well-being. We’ve created a space where a person’s health is taken seriously; but our attitude remains light, easy, fun, and approachable.
tea·room
The Tearoom is our bridge between worlds... the world of Chinese Medicine - one of the oldest, most comprehensive health practices on Earth - and the world of good food, good tea, and good company! Alchemy honors the practice of Chinese Medicine, by offering classical formulas, seasonal specialties, intentional fare, as well as flavors meant to simply delight the palate and senses.
|
a·poth·e·cary
Alchemy’s commitment to well-being is deeply rooted in the quality of herbs that are available at our apothecary. From common colds to more serious health conditions, our apothecary carries sustainable and organic herbs for thoughtfully prepared prescriptions.
|
a·cu·punc·ture
Our vision is to serve and support the community by providing quality care to all who walk through our doors. We practice Classical Chinese Medicine which is comprised of a variety of modalities including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, nutritional counseling, and many adjunct therapies such as cupping, gua sha, essential oil therapy, and moxabustion.
|
mass·age
We aim to provide a holistic self-care program, in which bodywork is vital. Massage aids in the healing process in various ways, from stimulating blood & lymph flow to simply providing space for the body to fully relax. Whether you are seeking relief from injury or quiet rejuvenation, our body-workers are here to create an experience tailored to your specific needs.
