Size-Inclusive Acupuncture Treatment

If you have ever experienced weight stigma in a healthcare setting, it is enough to keep you from seeing a healthcare provider until symptoms are dire. Body Positive Acupuncture will not only accept your body the way it is but the treatment room has been designed to fit larger bodies. You will feel comfortable in our waiting room, the furniture will accommodate you. Our building and restroom are ADA-accessible. My treatment room offers an adjustable table with a weight capacity of 550 lbs. I have plenty of support cushions to get you comfortable. The sheet drapes are large enough to cover your body.

You will not be shamed for how much you weigh. I do not have a line on my intake form asking for your weight. I am uninterested in your weight numbers. When we talk about food, it is from a curious place and not a place of judgment. I will not be recommending weight loss as part of your care. I will not blame your symptoms on your weight and will gently support you in joining me on that note. I am most interested in creating a safe space for marginalized bodies.

If any of this is resonating with you, you have likely been discriminated against in a healthcare setting. This office and practice have been designed to do just the opposite. You are welcome, you are worthy, and you deserve care with dignity.
