Women's Community Acupuncture
Clinic
DROP-IN, no appointment needed,
every Friday from 3:30-5pm
"There is nothing like a group
of women together in a healing
environment."
What to expect...
A warm environment ready for you
to climb into a "zero gravity"
chair, relax on a couch, or cozy
up with a blanket & cushion
while you receive acupuncture in
our open studio space. Jessica
will be taking your pulse and
talking to you in a quiet voice
about your needs.
Things you might want to
bring...
If you prefer solitude, bring
something to listen to with ear
phones.
We have towels for eye pillows
or to keep your feet warm, but
you are welcome to bring your
own comfort items as well.
Payment is on a sliding scale of
$20-$40 per session. The
Women's Community Acupuncture
Clinic is cash and check only.
(PRAHM does not accept insurance or document treatments for
re-imbursement at the Women's
Community Clinic).
Full Moon Pediatric Wellness Clinic

In Japan, parents bring healthy children to the Shonishin clinic on full moon days to boost their immune system and maintain good health by stimulating acupuncture meridians. We would like to bring this important tradition to Vashon by offering low-cost clinics once a month where parents can bring their children for monthly “tune-up” treatments on or around the full moon.
A variety of safe and gentle treatment modalities are used to treat kids, including “shonishin”, which involves using a series of tools to scrape, tap and rub acupuncture points and meridians. Other forms of treatment include the application of tiny magnets, herbal medicine, and sometimes the insertion of thin needles. Together these techniques can be used to treat a variety of acute and chronic conditions, including things like ear aches, frequent colds and flus, sleep problems, bedwetting, and behavior problems.
We will also be using this time to give parents ideas about how to promote kids’ health in various ways, including information about how to provide treatment to your kids at home!
