U District Community Acupuncture

Wallyhood welcomes our newest sponsor, Susie Fanslow Sabunciyan, EAMP of the U District Community Acupuncture. She’s been practicing acupuncture and Chinese herbs for five years, and worked at another community acupuncture clinic up on Capitol Hill prior to opening up shop in the U District. 

I was a bit curious what the “community” in “community acupuncture” meant. From their web site:

Patients are seated in comfortable recliners for about an hour receiving treatment. The appointment times are staggered, allowing for private consultation and plenty of opportunity for needle retention. By receiving treatments together, costs are kept low and patients are able to get acupuncture as often as they need.

Affordability isn’t the only advantage to a community setting. Whenever people are receiving acupuncture together, a collective healing atmosphere is created. This makes for a more powerful, energetic experience for each individual.
