Short Description

Join our heart-centered, collaborative, and supportive team as a Staff Acupuncturist.

We are staffing a new type of acupuncture clinic – one that values the work of a diverse and collaborative team, reduces competition, recognizes the challenges our profession faces, and makes conscious efforts to change the profession as well as the healthcare ecosystem. Our generative model prioritizes the work of the team and clinic over the work of each individual practitioner, and every member of our team is a valuable asset – from our cleaning staff to our administrative support staff to our clinical team to our managers.

In alignment with our Mission and Vision, we accept a wide range of patients and insurances. We are an insurance driven clinic and are IN-NETWORK with most major insurance plans. Insurance billing accounts for approximately 80% of our income allowing us to treat a variety of patients that would not otherwise be able to access care. Our model is about providing patients and prospective patients with access to our medicine.
