WELCOME ANA PAULA, our new acupuncturist!

I am so pleased to introduce our new acupuncturist, Ana Paula Duarte. Please help us welcome her by scheduling yourself on one of her shifts. She'll start out on Fridays, and will eventually add a second day. Korben will still be working 4 days per week. (for schedule and booking)

Ana Paula has been a dedicated practitioner of East Asian Medicine since 2011. Her passion is rooted in her first personal experience with acupuncture.  She was—and still is—in awe of this acupuncture’s capacity to manage mood, stress, and physical pain. (continued below)Ana Paula earned a Master’s degree from the Pacific College of Health and Science in San Diego and a Doctorate from the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco. She holds NCCAOM certification and is a licensed acupuncturist in RI, CA, PA.

Deeply experienced in providing community acupuncture, Ana Paula also has for the past four years specialized in helping professional and collegiate athletes optimize their recovery and performance through acupuncture. Her extensive training goes beyond sports medicine to include women’s health (fertility, pregnancy care, menopause). She is honored to practice this gentle and powerful people’s medicine of acupuncture. She is also happy to speak Portuguese or Spanish during your session.When she's away from the clinic, you can find her dancing, hiking, swimming, paddling, enjoying films, eagerly looking for a ceramics class or exploring the world with her family.

Sliding Scale Update

We want to take a moment to thank you for your continued loyalty and trust in us here at Kindred. This July, we will be updating our sliding scale to more accurately reflect our place in the present economy. We have worked to keep these changes as minimal as possible and appreciate your understanding.

The per-treatment sliding scale has been $25 to $50 for the last 4 years. Starting on July 7th, the new scale will be $35 to $70. Take advantage of the specials below before 8/01/25.

Kindred’s mission is to make frequent and regular acupuncture accessible to as many people as possible. We don’t take this change lightly and recognize that every raised price can add to the struggles a great majority of us are experiencing. Relative to other acupuncture services and to healthcare in general, we are still offering a significantly more affordable way to access exceptionally effective natural medicine in an enjoyable and relaxing setting.

We will retain the current sliding scale for 10 packs or 20 packs through the month of July. 

In other words, until August 1st you can buy prepaid packages at the current sliding scale per-treatment cost.
 

10 pack (you actually get 12 visits) @ $25 per treatment   = $250

10 pack (you actually get 12 visits) @ $35 per treatment   = $350

10 pack (you actually get 12 visits) @ $50 per treatment   = $500
 

20 pack (you actually get 24 visits) @ $25 per treatment   = $500

20 pack (you actually get 24 visits) @ $35 per treatment   = $700

20 pack (you actually get 24 visits) @ $50 per treatment   = $1,000

You can purchase packages online or in-person
Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Korben
