COMMUNITY ACUPUNCTURE OUTDOOR POPUPS
Treatments provided by Caroline Picker, Licensed Acupuncturist, Acudetox Specialist, and Auricular AcuTech trainer
SUNDAYS 9 – 11
June 25
July 30
August 27
Sliding Scale $15-$35, no one turned away for lack of funds. 50% of all proceeds will go to the Trans Justice Funding Project.
- Drop in, first come/first served.
- Bring a chair or blanket so that you can sit or lie comfortably for 20 min to an hour– we will have some seating options as well.
- You will need to walk up a short hill to reach the area where acupuncture will be provided.
- Collective energy of group treatments enhances benefits.
- Wear loose clothes so you can push up your sleeves and pant legs– there is no disrobing. Community acupuncture primarily uses distal point treatments, meaning points mainly on the arms and legs, hands and feet, head and neck. Needles don’t have to be placed in the area where the problem is located for treatment to be effective. Once your pins are in you’ll stay quietly for up to an hour.
- Babies in arms are welcome– if you bring other kids with you, they are going to need to be self-sufficient (or up for treatment!) while you are resting with your needles in.
- Caroline has been a licensed acupuncturist since 2015, and has given thousands of treatments in group settings. Before that, she was trained as an acudetox specialist and ran group ear acupuncture clinics in recovery, mental health, and community spaces.
- You can check out more info about community acupuncture on the website of the clinic she used to work at. Acupuncture is great for stress, acute and chronic pain, anxiety, sleep issues, allergies, migraines/headaches, and many many more things.
