Community Acupuncture

Acupuncture is an effective treatment for many conditions! Many people come in to stay healthy and calm, while others seek support for chronic illnesses. Acupuncture is able to work on so many conditions by stimulating the body’s innate healing process.

Our mission is to provide effective, affordable, holistic medicine in an open, sustainable community space. Acupuncture does not need to be expensive to be effective! If it is affordable and accessible to everybody, it can be part of the solution to the soaring cost of healthcare.

We are proud members of People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture! POCA is a multi-stakeholder cooperative, whose goal is to make acupuncture available and accessible to as many people as possible and to support those providing acupuncture to create stable and sustainable businesses and jobs.

  • I came in with a lot of pain in my right hip. Two sessions later and I feel 100% better. I highly recommend the Community Center. Did I mention how friendly everyone is?

    LB

  • i cut my finger chopping onions (dont judge me) and wandered in looking for a band-aide. I was greeted by Demetra, who was unbelievably sweet! she hooked me up with a band-aide and talked to me briefly about acupuncture and i decided to try it! I was pleasantly surprised by the experience, and i would recommended this place to ANYONE! It is VERY reasonably priced and every friend that I’ve brought in loved it as well. go check it out and see for yourself! i never thought i’d say this, but i’m glad i cut my finger that day because if i didn’t, i probably would have never found out about this place!

    CS

  • I was referred here by a classmate, and it was one of the BEST recommendations I’ve ever received! This place exudes grounding energy. It is quiet and clean, and the cost is so manageable. I saw Tanja and she is very professional, kind and detailed in her explanations. I felt very comfortable with her. I will absolutely go there regularly, we need more community practitioners as giving as them!
