INTRODUCING......(drumroll please) our new acupunk - RACHEL!
We are pleased to announce that we have a wonderful, new acupuncturist joining Kindred's team. Rachel Martinez will be covering two of Korben’s shifts while he is away between July 19th and July 25th. She will have her own, additional shifts to be announced starting in August, meaning that we”ll be open more hours and hopefully have more available times for your treatments each week. Go to the online scheduler to see when treatments are available and you’ll also be able to see which practitioner is on for that shift.
Rachel Martinez graduated from the New England School of Acupuncture. She is trained in Chinese, Japanese and Orthopedic styles of acupuncture and is also a nationally certified Diplomate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Before becoming an acupuncturist, Rachel graduated from RISD in 1994 with a Bachelor’s in
Fine Arts Degree in Painting. She later became a leasing agent and property manager, and
oversaw the rebirth of two apartment buildings in Providence.
Rachel is drawn to acupuncture through her Aikido and Zen training. She is a first degree black
belt in Aikido, a traditional Japanese martial art, and has been training for 16 years. Rachel first
experienced the benefits of acupuncture when she received treatments for her aches and pains
she felt from training and later acupuncture kept her healthy during her two pregnancies. She
loves how acupuncture is a holistic system that seeks to balance all aspects of the patient’s health.
Rachel currently lives in Cranston with her husband, two children and pup. We are delighted to welcome her!
Kindred Birthday and Interdependence Day Specials
Exactly two years ago, Kindred opened it’s doors and began providing sliding-scale acupuncture treatments for people in Pawtucket, Providence east side, East Providence, Central Falls, and folks all over RI and southeast Mass. On July 4th, 2017, we had our first Interdependence Day Special and offered free acupuncture to a few dozen people.
This year, we’d like to celebrate our birthday by making it easier for you to bring a loved one, family member, co-worker, friend, or neighbor, and introduce them to community acupuncture. So, between July 1st and July 7th, each time you get a treatment you can bring someone for their first treatment for free.
In addition, from now Through July, when you buy one of our multiple treatment packages, you not only get a free treatment for every five purchased, but you can also bring one guest for their first treatment for free. Buy a five pack and get a sixth treatment free for yourself AND bring a guest for free first treatment during any of your visits. Buy a 10 pack, and the perks are doubled.
Opening party. June 2017
Come during your lunch hour. Come when it’s too hot for the beach. Come when it’s too rainy to play. Come when your summer insomnia hits, or your hay fever, your hives. Come if you injure yourself playing too hard. Come because for most people summer is really not much of any kind of break, and you’re working really hard. Come when you feel disconnected, grief, rage, or confusion. Come to stop smoking or to get help getting off the pain meds. Come to pray. Come to feel good. Come together.
