Healing Community, Community Healing

Here you could say that all your offerings are "community based", sliding scale, the idea that you pay what you can.  Then, below could simply be the description of your offerings without much explanation of the community concept 

ACUPUNCTURE 

​CAN YOU SAY WHAT ACUPUNCTURE DOES FOR THE PATIENT?  Acupuncture is helpful with allll yoour problems, like blablabla, blabla, restoring the flow, making your life better because Mark really cares about you in a genuine way you've not even experienced with you mother.  You will stop biting your nails, smoking cigarettes, start caring about the cashier and smiling at squirrels in the trees. This is not a new age website.

WHY COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE?

Community Acupuncture is a movement that started in Portland in 2002 and has since spread around the U.S. and the world.

Providing access to affordable acupuncture  on a sliding scale fee
Creating a welcoming space where people come together to heal, thus building community. ​

We work with a sliding scale,you decide what on that scale you can afford to pay, no questions asked.  To democratize health
​
Call us at 541-322-9642 or click on the link below to make an appointment for acupuncture in Bend. 

• Because acupuncture doesn't have to be expensive to be good;
• Because in a world filled with stress and conflict we all need healing spaces where strangers can heal together;
• Because there aren't enough places where we can turn our cell phones off and rest side-by-side;
• Because our favorite way to spread the word about how well acupuncture works is to make it easily available to people;

For these reasons and many others, we're part of the Community Acupuncture Movement pioneered by POCA, The People's Organization for Community Acupuncture (www.pocacoop.com)

About your first visit: 
​
After an initial interview with the acupuncturist you will receive your treatment in a comfortable recliner chair in our large healing room, surrounded by other resting and sleeping patients with soft music and healing sounds playing in the background.

​The treatments last half and hour to an hour. 

Similar to a qigong or meditation class, coming together with others in a community acupuncture clinic creates a powerful field that promotes the healing process for everyone there.

ZERO BALANCING CLINIC

Touch is essential for healing and wellness. And Zero Balancing offers the most refined type of touch we have experienced. It resets the nervous system and boosts the healing capacity of body, emotions, and mind.
This clinic is designed to make profoundly healing bodywork accessible for people who've thought of it as a luxury.

 Zero Balancing  (ZB) was developed from the principles of acupuncture and cranial osteopathy by Fritz Smith, M.D. 
Patients typically leave their  session feeling lighter and freer, with a sense of flow, ease and balance.

Wednesdays
 12PM - 6PM
During the Covid Crisis, we've lwered our sliding scale to maintain accessibility
 - Short (1/2 hour) sessions: $25 - $100.
 - Full (1-hour) sessions: $50-$200

Please note that a glitch in our software allows you to book sessions at any time, but in fact, all ZB sessions must be scheduled on the hour or half-hour. ​
