As we step into Springtime, our team wants to remind you that movement is medicine! Walk, run, dance, swim. Lift weights, take a yoga class, ride a bike! Move in a way that makes you happy and brings you joy!
By now you have heard that Stacy “Stay” Leon was offered an incredible academic opportunity that she couldn’t pass up which unfortunately, for us, conflicts with her position at Sadhana. Stay’s last day with us was February 15th. We wish her all the best as she changes the field of research in neurobiology.
Due to an unexpected family emergency, Steven Chan needed to step away from his position here at Sadhana Health to focus on his family. Steven’s last day with Sadhana was Saturday, February 25th. We send our best wishes to Steven and hope that at some point in the future he is able to return to his position here.
Lauren Fabia and Heather Sweeney will be absorbing Stay and Stevens patients into their schedules. If you are a current patient of Steven’s or Stay’s and are a not a patient of Heather’s, there will be no increased cost to your appointments with her until their replacements have been identified.

Heather has added additional appointments to her weekday schedule and will also be treating patients on Saturday mornings effective Monday, February 24th. To schedule an appointment with Heather, contact our office at (424) 410-9377.
If you are a patient of Steven’s or Stay’s, and have any questions about these changes, please direct your questions to Heather or Cindy. You can reach them by contacting our office by email or phone.

Sadhana Health Cancellation Policy
We understand that unanticipated events happen in everyone’s life. In our desire to be effective and fair to all patients, we have a clear policy for cancellations, no-shows, and late arrivals. You will find this policy on our website; in the documents you sign upon becoming a patient at Sadhana Health, posted at the front desk, and at the bottom of all emails coming from the clinic.
48 hour advance notice is required when canceling an appointment. This allows the opportunity for someone else to schedule an appointment. If you are unable to provide 48 hours advance notice, you will be charged for the full amount of that appointment. This amount must be paid prior to your next scheduled appointment.
Anyone who either forgets or consciously chooses to forgo their appointment for whatever reason will be considered a “no-show” and will be charged for that appointment.
If you arrive late, your session may need to be shortened in order to accommodate others whose appointments follow yours. Depending upon how late you arrive, your therapist will then determine if there is enough time remaining to start a treatment. Regardless of the length of the treatment actually given, you will be responsible for cost of the full session. Out of respect and consideration for your therapist, other patients, and especially yourself (you deserve this time!) please plan accordingly and be on time. We suggest you arrive 15 minutes early to your appointment to ensure that you have time to check in.
In this case, sharing is NOT caring! If you are sick or contagious (this means you are exhibiting symptoms!), please reschedule your appointment for another time. For the wellness of all of our patients, we must decline treatment to anyone who arrives to a session sick. Arriving to a session sick will be treated as a no-show (see above).
