​What is community acupuncture?

It is a unique clinic style with the intention of making acupuncture accessible to everyone.  Treatments are based on a sliding scale, delivered in a group setting, and tailored to your specific health needs. 

​

I use distal acupuncture, which means points below the elbows and knees to treat the entire body, so there’s no need to disrobe.  It's best to wear loose-fitting clothing such as shorts and a tank top.  I can even treat back pain effectively by just using points on your hands and legs!

​

You will be nearby other people receiving treatment at the same time in comfortable zero gravity loungers and reclining chairs. In our fast-paced society, it’s uncommon for us to take time to relax while surrounded by our peers. This is not a lack of privacy but an opportunity to experience treatment with family, friends, and community. Similar to meditating or practicing yoga in a group setting, you will find that the collective synergistic healing energy in the community clinic will make your individual treatments more powerful.

 

Ailments commonly treated include:

• Pain anywhere in the body

• Headaches

• Insomnia

• Stress/anxiety

• Weakened immune system

• Fatigue

• Menopause

• Menstrual issues

• Infertility

• Smoking cessation

• PTSD

​

Pricing:

This community acupuncture clinic uses a sliding scale pricing model of $20 to $50 in order to break down the barrier and make acupuncture available to everyone in the community.  The sliding scale isn’t meant to be a discount for those with the means, but instead gives those without the means to pay market rate an opportunity to receive healing treatments. Below is a suggested guideline for you about what you should pay based on household income.  No income verification is required.
