I highly recommend this place for anyone considering getting acupuncture in a community style kind of way! I absolutely love the concept of community acupuncture. It provides access to treatment to people who otherwise may not be able to afford it. I have been going for regular treatments, once or twice a week, and I am only able to do that because community acupuncture allows you to pay on a sliding scale. I would not be able to afford weekly treatments privately, since those usually cost around $150 a session.
Kasie is wonderful! I felt calm the moment I walked through the doors. On my initial visit, she brought me into her office for a brief couple of minutes to collect history and background info. She then showed me the treatment room which includes several reclining chairs, ambient lighting, calming music and even sound scape machines of ocean waves and such. I love the little quote pictures located around the room.There are other people in the room for community acupuncture, but I have never once felt weird by that. Kasie does a great job of keeping things quiet in the room and many times, I do not even notice when people come and go out of room. I have noticed I really Look forward to my weekly treatments after work. It allows me personal time to rest and heal and it has helped my stress tremendously! It does take several sessions for most people to really start and feel a difference with acupuncture, so don't expect much after just one or two treatments. Some people do find relief that soon but everyone varies. If anything, just having the time to relax and take a nap and/or mediate while listening to calming music is absolutely worth $20 a week! We all need that in our stressful lives.
I recently purchased a consultation with Kasie and I found it very helpful. She listened to my concerns, gathered history, gave me nutritional tips and resources for supplements, meditations, pod casts and other various things to help me with my current condition. It was certainly worth it and I recommend it for anyone! She recently hired a new acupuncturist who seems wonderful as well! I think this will allow for even more treatment times. I am so happy I found this hidden gem! Despite my sister being an acupuncturist for about 8-9 years, I actually had only had acupuncture about 3 times my entire life, mostly because I just couldn't afford it. Community acupuncture has provided me the opportunity to receive treatment with a payment I can afford! read more
