Ocean Acupuncture & Mindfulness Center, San Diego

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

We do $25 community acupuncture, and $59 massage. Most acupuncture is $85 or more and you get your own private room. We do $25 acupuncture in a comfortable community room. This allows us to treat multiple people in the hour and keep the cost down.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

We love helping people get better and want to create an environment where people can afford to come in, and get enough acupuncture treatments to get better. Acupuncture works great for stress, anxiety, and all kind of pain issues. In general you need multiple acupuncture treatments to get and stay better. By charging $25 a treatment, people can come in enough times to get better.

What do you love most about your job?

I love seeing people improve mentally and physically. It is great to see people get out of pain or depression and enjoy their lives. It is also nice to spend all day trying to make other people feel better.

4. What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

We have had patients come in on crutches and leave walking out. It is great when you get immediate shifts in the body. Another person had debilitating headaches for months and walked out pain free. I love seeing that.
