ABOUT YOUR ACUPUNCTURISTS

Hi, I’m Rob, your acupuncturist.

I am very passionate about Chinese Medicine and I enjoy sharing that passion with others. When I started practicing I found that people were excited about what I did until they found out what it cost. It seemed that most of the people that I knew couldn't afford healthcare much less alternative healthcare. It pains me to think that acupuncture began as a folk medicine available to everybody in the community, but now it’s often relegated to fancy spas and people wealthy enough to afford it.

This got me thinking about creative ways to make acupuncture more accessible. Before I became an acupuncturist I was involved in some interesting businesses. I worked at a collectively run recycling center, a community centered natural foods co-op, a car sharing organization, and a worker owned and operated massage cooperative. It is amazing what people can accomplish just by working together for a common goal. It is possible to have a healthy business, empower the workers and create a community that promotes positive social change.

That is what I had in mind when I created ACUPUNCTURE for the PEOPLE. I didn’t become an acupuncturist to make lots of money, I chose this path because I love the medicine and I want to help people to achieve optimum wellness. By practicing in a group setting I can have a rewarding business that cares for the health of the individual and benefits the greater community as well.

Thank you for joining me in creating this exciting new model of healthcare.
