I have my own space on Saint Paul's Grand Avenue.
Appointments are available Wednesdays 12:00-6:00, Tuesdays and Thursdays 10:00-6:00, and Sundays 12:30-4:30.
If you want to come see the space and ask about acupuncture, you can book a no-obligation consultation on Fridays 2-6.
If you want the space to yourself or for your group of up to three, you can book a private appointment on Fridays 2-6. Note that the scale for private appointments is $150-$250. This rate is sliding scale for the appointment, for an individual or group up to three.
You can book appointments with a friend. Choose appointments which are back-to back and you can get treated together! Please email or text me to let me know you are coming together so I can adjust your start times.
We have four chairs available, so you can bring a bunch of friends! For the best healing experience for all, we ask that everyone respect the stillness of the space.
Appointments are 60 minutes for new patients, 45 for returning patients. Fees for new patients include an extra $15 charge to the regular scale of $30-50.
Please come to clinic in comfortable clothes which can be rolled up to your elbows and knees. Paperwork must be completed and fees paid before treatment begins. After a short quiet interview, we will treat you.
You can rest in a hushed room and enjoy healing in community.
Blankets and pillows are provided. You are welcome to bring your own comfort items.
Questions
Why sliding scale fees?
Rainbow Tree Acupuncture wants to make healthcare affordable and accessible. Healthcare should not be a privilege. You choose how much to pay. No questions asked. We hope you will refer your friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.
What if I am scared of needles?
No worries! I use very fine needles. As fine as a human hair, not like sewing needles or needles at the doctor's office. Still not convinced? I have other tools which do not pierce the skin.
Can Acupuncture Help With .....?
Short answer: Yes, acupuncture can help. We use a different medical model than Western healthcare, so we cannot cure any diagnosed ailments. We CAN help with symptoms. Acupuncture is great for nausea, whether from chemotherapy or pregnancy. We treat the body holistically, so you might find improvements in areas you were not expecting. If you come in for muscle pain, you might find your digestion and sleep improve!
How does acupuncture work?
I will spare you the whole three years of graduate school, including 150 hours of clinical observation and over 540 hours of clinical practice! Acupuncture divides body functions into five groups. We call them elements. Each element has an emotion, color, season, and taste. I think of the elements as a pie. When one is taking more than its share, the other four get less. The elements work in a cycle to stay balanced. Acupuncture needles help the body remember how to return to balance.
