Community Acupuncture is a means to provide affordable acupuncture – both in terms of money and time – surrounded by nature at Pittsburgh Botanic Garden. Join Kayla Simmons (MSAOM) or Jamie Schlier (MAc, LAc) for community acupuncture on Saturdays from 10am-12pm. After a short intake, you will relax in a zero-gravity chair while the experienced acupuncturist places needles in the ear, hands, or other easily accessible areas of the body. Sessions will last 30 minutes, there may be 2-3 other sessions ongoing while you are relaxing.
