A New Chapter: Misako & Ryan Step Back to Welcome New Providers

As we turn the page on summer and the fall approaches, we have some significant news to share as we embark on a new chapter. After more than 20 years of dedicated care, we (Misako & Ryan) are stepping away from clinical practice. This decision comes after considerable reflection.

While we are excited for what lies ahead, it is bittersweet as we prepare to say goodbye to the daily interactions that have enriched our lives. We want to express our heartfelt gratitude as we step back. Supporting you in your health has been our honor. The memories we have built are treasures we will carry with us always.

"Retirement" & Merger

Starting in November 2025 an exciting new chapter begins for Mill-e-Moto.

• We are merging with Meridian Acupuncture & Wellness...

• Misako & Ryan are no longer practicing acupuncture...

We have been seeking the 'right' acupuncturists' to continue providing the care you have come to expect from us.​ 

We are confident you will be in "good hands" with the new TEAM...

We will coordinate care with you & your new provider; the transition will be seamless...

It is with mixed emotions that we share this news with you...

Gratitude

We are grateful for your trust in us; some of you recently & many of you for decades...

Saddened

We will miss the opportunity to share in your path of health & wellness...

Honored

It has been our privilege to be of service to you in support of your health...

The journey we have shared with you has been a privilege, and each of you has played a role in making our practice a vibrant community. Whether you have been with us for decades or you recently joined, your trust has been the foundation of our work.

We ask for your trust in us one last time as we introduce the TEAM of acupuncturists that will continue to provide the care you have come to expect from us.

New Acupuncture TEAM

In our search for the perfect TEAM to continue providing the care you've come to expect, we are thrilled to introduce two new providers: Dr. Bradley Capron and Dr. Lisa Shultz. Two additional (and current) TEAM members, Jeremy Jacks (owner of Meridian Acupuncture & Wellness) & Dr. Steven Otsuka Dardis, are also here to ensure you will be "in good hands".

We believe this TEAM are the 'ideal fit' to carry on our commitment to quality hands-on care you have come to expect.

Combined, the current TEAM members bring a wealth of experience, with backgrounds that complement & expand our practice. Their passion for patient care aligns with our values, and we are excited for you to get to know them. Learn more about the TEAM of providers here...

A Seamless Transition: What This Merger Means for You

We recognize that transitions can be challenging, but we are dedicated to making this process smooth and straightforward:

• Same location

• Same wonderful staff

• Same Exceptional Quality Care

• No changes to insurance; in fact more in-network options (not less)

• Expanded hours (Mon - Sat from 9-6)

  
  

We will work with you to determine the best practitioner to continue providing the care you have come to expect from us. All chart notes can be transferred to your new provider to optimize coordination of care.We will meet with your new provider to ensure a smooth and seamless transition, including items big and small. From the room set-up that you prefer to the treatment styles and modalities that work best for you.

New Horizons...Where to?

Thank you for being a part of our journey. We look forward to assisting you as we navigate these new horizons together. Your health and wellness are at the heart of everything we do, and we are eager to ensure a smooth transition for you as we embark on this new chapter. For us, we will be taking time to travel (van-life) while visioning into our next steps...more details coming soon.

With warmest regards,

Misako & Ryan
