The Wellnest Bucks County, in Newtown, now offers community acupuncture, a shared, group-based model that makes care more accessible and affordable for suburban Philadelphia residents. Sessions are held Thursdays from 2 to 7 p.m. and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sundays.

With sliding-scale pricing, this model is ideal for those with chronic conditions that benefit from more frequent care. In addition, evidence suggests that the group environment may enhance acupuncture’s therapeutic benefits, mitigating potential anxiety and tapping into the power of collective relaxation often experienced in practices such as yoga.

Services are provided by Rachel Shusterman, LAc, a state-certified practitioner who trained at the People’s Organization of Community Acupuncture in Portland, Oregon—the only U.S. school that focuses on this accessible, socially conscious model.

Community acupuncture joins the Wellnest Bucks County’s suite of energy-based services, which include the Harmonic Egg, an innovative, resonant chamber designed to reset the nervous system through light and sound therapy.

Cost: Sliding scale of $30-$60. Location: 660 Newtown Yardley Rd., Ste. 106. For more information or to schedule an appointment,
