Jordan has created a wonderful, relaxing, acupuncture haven in which to be treated. A sweet human and a sweet space.

Jordan's care at Communichi is incredible -- he brings such incredible attention and tenderness to his practice. I have gone to him for acute issues, like getting immediate relief from a back so painful I could barely walk, and long-term issues, like support getting through cancer and chemo. I try to tell everyone about his practice -- I feel so lucky to have found him and to have his practice in the neighborhood. I've even sent friends who are afraid of needles -- and they came out believers! read more

I found Jordan and Communichi through a basic google search a couple of months ago and have nothing but positive things to say about him and his practice. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and was interested in trying acupuncture as a natural treatment for my hormone regulation. I've been going twice a week for the last 6 weeks or so, and even in the midst of COVID, Jordan has time and time again provided an exceptional experience. He is so knowledgable and has created the perfect environment in his clinic. The sliding scale option has been immensely appreciated and makes acupuncture much more accessible to folks, even those like me who have been laid off due to the pandemic. If you are at interested in acupuncture, I highly recommend Communichi. read more

I wanted acupuncture during my pregnancy to help with relexation and started seeing Jordan when I was 3 months pregnant up until I gave birth in December. I like Jordan's calming energy and attentiveness. He checks in with me to see how I was feeling or if there was something I wanted to address. I always left feeling refreshed and grounded. I booked early morning appointments so I could carry that feeling with me throughout my day. It is a group setting but once I got in my chair and zoned out, I didn't even notice anyone else. I recommend communichi to everyone! read more

FINALLY found the perfect acupuncture location. Jordan is a lovely presence with great energy, and the sliding scale means I can actually afford multiple visits. The $190 for ten sessions is a FANTASTIC deal. It is a group setting which I actually like because you get other people's energy. Try Communichi - it's the best! Plus it's an uber-cute name! I have been going here steadily for almost 4 years now. It is the only thing that keep my tendinitis pain at bay. Jordan is such a calming person it is always a joy to come here. The online system is SUPER easy to use which helps. I don't have to call I can just click online and book a appointment. Side note: Jordan does not accept insurance and he does so for a great reason. He wants acupuncture to be available to everyone, and not just the insured. He is such a generous good person. This is seriously the a absolute best place for acupuncture in Seattle. read more

Jordan has created a comfortable community healing space with comfortable recliners, soft meditation music, lighting, and plants. He has a gift to bring balance to the daily stresses and tension you carry in your body. Jordan will do a quick check-in and place the needles exactly where it needs to be to unblock the stressors in your body. I wish I could go more often! read more

This is one of the most amazing healing spaces in Seattle, the staff, the experience is that of being wrapped in healing love. Jordan is a gifted healer, and lives a life that walks the walk and talks the talk. Give yourself a treat and visit Communichi in Beacon HIll it will be the first of many. Thank you Rev. read more

Jordan and this place are great. We have taken our whole family -- three generations!

Never had acupuncture done before so why not?! Scheduling wasn't difficult, just filling out online. Be sure to screenshot your password! Wasn't too hard to locate, I can imagine parking sucks between and after 5pm-6pm as this is a residential area. Came early to find parking and Jordan greeted me while I was YouTubing in my car and actually let me in early. Jordan is a very chill and laid back gentlemen, soft spoken voice and knowledgable in what he does. Took a rest in the seat and he went away with the prickling of the needles. I was at first bummed since I couldn't listen to my own personal relaxation music, but I'm glad I didn't since the soundtrack Jordan has in the background is a very tranquil mix Only down side is once you feel like you're ready to leave, you have no way of contacting Jordan till he comes by for his checkup to see how you're doing. You can seldomly hear his family upstairs, but they know to be quiet during sessions, didn't bother me at all for connecting to my inner ninja-chi. Plus I was so relaxed, it didn't get in the way of reaching nirvana. All in all, try this guy! Great deal of 10sessions for $190, $19 a session! read more

I have been visiting this place for acupuncture since April 2019 for sleep issues initially. My sleep has gradually getting better and now I am going there for hypothyroid issues. Acupuncture is a slow, natural, and incremental healing process that result will be there with patience and regular sessions. The price is so reasonable compared to other practitioners. What I like about this place is that the owner never tries to upsell or package sell anything, period. The space is not stylish, but it is clean and comfortable with a bargain basement price and a top-notch healing session! Highly recommend for people who are price-conscious while wanting to have high quality acupuncture healing sessions. read more

I've been going to communichi consistently for about 6 months now. I primarily have acupuncture from Jordan and Sam and both of them are excellent healers. They both have very different energy and practice slightly differently but with either of them I come out feeling rejuvenated and relaxed! I must go here a lot because I'm currently the mayor on foursquare last I checked. I would recommend anyone looking for both affordable, friendly, intentional healing go here and visit one of their practitioners. read more

I had been to accupuncture before, on the Eastside in a private clinic and had seen and spoken with the Accupunturist at my former massage therapists office, but neither were affordable options, especially during this recession and having lost health benefits. One was clinical and I laid in the dark, but myself, wondering when or if she was coming back. The session helped, but I wasn't anymore educated that when I went in. The other was more spa like, and though lovely, I felt like I was paying for a spa service, when what I really wanted was something that was sustainable... I am OVERJOYED to have found CommuniChi and can't recommend it highly enough. The energy, the environment is humming with healing and peace. It's simple, but feels abundant. It's public (meaning there are sometimes 10 people in the space with you), but feels private - it's quite, peaceful, and the light is just right (not dark, not bright). In the reception room they have tea and water, books to read more, and a place to just chill so you can gather yourself before you head back into the world. I've never had an issue with parking even with the Light Rail construction and really no noise issues (which I expected with construction) to disrupt the peace. Because it's so afforabable one can go on a regular basis and really reap the benefits (I had only imagined before) of a sustainable healing practice. Jordan and Serena built an amazing community space of healing and I'm looking forward to supporting them for years to come. read more

My 4 children and I have been going to accupuncture for many years, and have found it has helped or even cured many ailments and dis-eases - many considered chronic (epilepsy, asthma and lupus to name 3). While I would recommend a much more vigorous and comprehensive regimen of accupuncture for actual 'curing' of dis-ease, regular treatments WILL ease symptoms, and KEEP you healthy. I, and my children are very comfortable at communichi. I fall asleep every time during my treatment - it truly has an amazing atmosphere! I go all winter to prevent the winter blues I get here, as I am a transplant from a much sunnier locale. Appointments are super simple to make on-line, and they e-mail a reminder to you. I highly recommend Communichi to everyone. Enjoy your healthy future! read more

I have been receiving acupuncture for 10 years, and have been treated by many acupuncturists. Communichi is high quality acupuncture at an affordable (inexpensive) price. As a qigong teacher, I am familiar with qi and with TCM theory that acupuncturists use to treat patients. So I know that my acupuncturist is creating a simple (not so many needles) and yet effective treatment perfectly suited to me. They will do the same for you. The acupuncturists at Communichi do a great job, regardless of what they are treating me for. Serena and Jordan are respectful and compassionate towards each client. I have been going to Communichi for 2 years. Here's what it's like: When you arrive at the door of Communichi, you open the door to a small, quiet, comfortable waiting area. There is a selection of tea in the corner for you to enjoy. You can hang your coat and leave your shoes here. Your acupuncturist or an assistant, comes to greet you. If it is your first time, you spend some time discussing with them what you came to be treated for. They lead you into a larger, airy room with a great view of the Cascade Mountains. There are plants climbing the walls, music playing softly, and a quiet air purifyer. There are fleece covers on the lounge chairs and fleece blankets available to keep you warm. There is room for 10 people. No talking to the other patients is allowed, so you can relax. (It's ok to talk to the acupuncturist!) You choose a lounge chair where you will rest while you are being treated. They will choose places on your hands and lower arms and on your feet and lower legs, maybe on your face or head to insert needles. The needles may sting while they go in or you may not feel a thing. There may be a little ache at the needles. That means they are working to make you better. You may fall asleep or just rest. The acupuncturist will look in the room now and then to make sure everything is ok with you and the other patients. When you are ready, they take the needles out and you can quietly leave. read more

I've heard about acupuncture in the past and honestly I thought of it as something to relax you and thus make your other issues get better. I was chatting with a friend about an issue and she said her partner knew of a great community acupuncturist that might be able to help. I took the advice fairly lightly but later thought what the hell...it can't hurt to try. I saw Jordan at Communichi and after two sessions my issue got better. I still thought it was probably some after effect of being more relaxed. I was in Portland and tried another community acupuncture place and did not have nearly the same results, I felt like I was just laying in a chair. Anyways, to make a long story short I think acupuncture does do something more than relax but you have to go to somebody good. The cost is VERY VERY affordable (~$20 and then $15 for repeat visits) and you can make appointments online so if you ever wanted to try acupuncture I would recommend going to Communichi. You are sitting in a large room with others and about 15 plants but you are really in your own space so don't be scared. I go fairly often and I think at most there have been 5 other people in the room but I think there are ~14 super comfy chairs in total. The whole place is a bit hippy happy so be prepared for pan flute and other new age music and super relaxed happy go lucky people. read more

What a wonderful find! Acupuncture has previously been nearly miraculous in helping me with a serious health challenge and I decided that I'd like to start seeing an acupuncturist regularly on a more preventative basis---you know, get the chi flowing properly so I don't have to actually get *sick* and all that. I'm so glad I found Communichi! I can afford to come here often enough to receive a benefit (even though i am currently unemployed) and the treatments are excellent. Communichi provides excellent care and is committed to making that care accessible to as many members of the community as possible; exactly what we need more of these days in health care. I'm enthused about Communichi not only because I feel that I receive real benefit from the expertly-administered treatments but also because I believe that the practitioners have cultivated real compassion and humility as healers---a rare thing to see these days. Instead of obtaining knowledge of the healing art of acupuncture and deciding to open an expensive medi-spa or high-end clinic, they became part of a movement that is focused on bringing acupuncture to as many people as possible through sliding-scale pricing, education, and community outreach. They are involved in the life of the community, attend to important political dimensions of health care delivery, and provide excellent care. To me, that attitude is the mark of a true healer, and that's the kind of practitioner I want to work with and support financially. If you're at all curious about acupuncture, or if you're in need of affordable care that read more

My massage therapist had recommended this place to me and I had never tried accupuncture before. I was having problems sleeping and thought this might help "unblock" some energy. I believe it really helped. I suppose it doesn't matter if you believe in eastern medicine, but I know that each session at communichi, I feel like I sleep for hours. :) read more

Community acupuncture is awesome. I love Communichi's space. Inside of the beautiful Centro de la Raza, the treatment room has beautiful plants, comfy chairs and big windows to gaze out at the clouds while you're being treated and drifting off into that good acupuncture land between dreaming and waking. I have only good things to say and can't wait to go back for more affordable acupuncture! read more

I love Communichi for so many reasons. 1. The practioners, they're all great, but I love Sam. You should see Sam ASAP, he is amazing. Soft spoken and easy to talk with. Several times his work has taken away my aches or pains in just one session. 2. I don't have to lie face down to get great effective accupuncture. Face down just isn't comfortable for me, I get antsy and can't relax but in an easy chair I'm snoring in minutes. 4. The space is lovely, warm and so peaceful.It feels great to be in big beautiful room receiving this great healing with others. Maybe it seems weird to receive treatment in the company of others but it's not, it's delightful. 5. The price, Communichi is a community accupuncture clinic with the desire to serve all in the community and I love that. Even though I have insurance I prefer to come here, for the price of my co-pay somewhere else I can pay in full and feel like I'm supporting a great place. Get yourself to Communichi, try Sam if you can, you'll be happy you did! read more

I have osteo-arthritis in my knees and thumbs (both joints). This started between 12 and 15 years ago and has worsened gradually, recently becoming very painful in my thumbs. It interferes with many activities. I live an active life-style with gardening, swing-dancing and usually working out 5 days a week. This September at age 65, I took up tap dancing. This is something I have wanted to do for many years; and I decided this year it is now or never. Although skeptical I decided to try acupuncture for the joints in my knees and ankles. I went on- line and found CommuniChi on Beacon Hill. I tried it out at twice a week for a month and then weekly - for maintenance. Even though I am tapping daily, with hour - long lessons twice weekly, I have had no trouble with my knees or ankles, with one exception. Due to snow and Thanksgiving, I had skipped my weekly session twice. That week-end my left knee became very painful. On Monday I had a treatment session, the pain left and has not returned. I have continued with my tap dancing with no interruption. Added bonuses: recently I realized that the joint stiffness I had found creeping in over the past 2 years or so is much diminished. I can sit in the car, at table or at the computer for an hour or more and get up with no stiffening in my lower extremities. What a wonderful and unexpected benefit!! And amazingly, recently my thumb pain is diminishing. This benefit just started so I am increasing back up to twice weekly sessions until it is more improved. Jordan Van Voast, who is a founder and the main acupuncturist at CommuniChi has a wonderful manner. He is skilled both in acupuncture and communication. The community treatment room is spacious, yet cozy. You can read more about it on their web-site. read more

Laid back, easy to schedule online, Jordan is very kind and gentle, higher end sliding scale; overall this is a great place well worth checking out. It has relocated from its previous location (yelp address is accurate) and is now only run by Jordan but the space is welcoming and comfortable. read more

Really amazing place- easy, healthy and affordable way to relieve stress. Once you close your eyes, you won't even notice the shared room. Lots of beautiful plants, comfortable chairs and daylight to make this a relaxing space. Highly recommend. read more

I've been to over a dozen accupuncture clinics throughout Portland and Seattle and I can say that Communichi is a real gem. The practictioners are really experienced, the quality of the treatment and needling technique is high, and the rates are unbeatable. The treatment sanctuary is light filled, comfortable and sweetly humble. I love this joint! read more

Love it! I cannot say enough good things about Communichi. Finally, I can afford acupuncture! read more

I followed Sam here form the Pin Cushion. I've had acupuncture all over the place and Sam is by far the best. The environment is so welcoming and relaxing. Highly recommended. read more

I started going to Communichi about 2 months ago, and unfortunately for my loved ones and acquaintances, I never waste an opportunity to talk about what a positive experience it is. I recently lost my health insurance and then started having miserable allergies for the first time in my life. Over the counter medication is prohibitively expensive yet ineffective for me, and I couldn't find any doctors who I could afford or who wouldn't lead to an all day wait at a public health clinic, just to be prescribed some drug that might not work. Luckily some Googling led me to to find out that acupuncture is often effective for allergies, and then I found Communichi. Honestly, I'm not sure I would have gone the first time if I had really read their website carefully, because it was in a neighborhood I had never been to and I had no idea I would be in the room with a bunch of strangers...and I'm really freaked out by needles in any case. Thankfully I went to my first appointment not knowing what the expect, and it blew me away. Serena radiates compassion, and the atmosphere is so comfortable and relaxing that I actually enjoy having others in the room experiencing treatment at the same time. I cannot rave enough about the results--after the first treatment, I started to breath again and finally slept without waking up to cough so hard that I threw up...yes, this disgusting thing was happening almost every night, so it was quite the relief! I feel wonderful after every treatment, and the treatment I'm receiving now for a few different concerns is greatly helping. Honestly, I've never been to any health practitioner who made me feel as cared for as Serena and Jordan. This Yelp review can only touch on how much gratitude I feel about having found Communichi! read more

I have been going here off and on for a couple of years now. Lately, I have been going regularly due to back, neck and knee pain. I had been to a chiropractor for my back and had so so results. Now, after a few sessions my back, knees and neck (especially my neck) are feeling much better. Since it is a community acupuncture clinic, the fees are very reasonable (sliding scale) as one practitioner is able to treat more than one patient, but do not let that dissuade you as they are passionate and skilled in acupuncture. I recommend this place to all of my friends. I expect more will come when they can get past the idea of needles (no pain at all, really) read more
