Our clinic was founded on a deeply personal transformation that occurred when acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine entered my life at the age of eighteen. That early experience demonstrated to me the capacity of these modalities to support healing and long-term health maintenance. Motivated by that understanding, I committed the following twenty years to rigorous study and professional preparation, ultimately becoming a practitioner. This path led to the establishment of the first Community Acupuncture Clinic in San Diego County. While our methods and operations have developed over time, our foundational purpose has consistently remained centered on making acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine both accessible and of high quality.We continue to operate with a pricing model designed to preserve accessibility while sustaining the clinics ability to serve the community. New patient appointments are scheduled for one and a half hours and are offered on a sliding scale between $50 and $70. Private follow-up visits last one hour and range from $40 to $60. Community acupuncture sessions, provided in a group setting, are priced between $20 and $40. Each individual determines their payment within these ranges without requiring financial verification. This structure allows consistent access to care as frequently as needed for ongoing wellness and recovery. We maintain this approach as a core expression of our responsibility to the community we serve. It is designed to eliminate barriers that often prevent individuals from receiving regular treatment. We believe that consistent access is essential for achieving and maintaining health outcomes. Our model emphasizes collaboration between practitioner and patient to support long-term care. This ensures sustainability while preserving affordability. It allows individuals to return as needed, ensuring steady progress over time. Care remains available in a manner that supports both health and financial balance. This framework reflects our ongoing commitment to accessible, community-based treatment for sustained wellbeing.

Michelle is a true healer of the body, heart and soul. I came to her at a time in my life I was feeling extremely ungrounded and stressed due to some major life shifts. My anxiety had taken over my nervous system and I felt so stuck. After three months of working with her I was feeling so much better! By a year later, the change is absolutely remarkable. I feel much more connected to my body, the Earth, and the anxiety symptoms have gone down by 80%-90%. Not only this, but she is extremely kind and compassionate. Highly recommend!
