We are saying goodbye to acupuncturist Carrie Nightshade, who has worked at Minneapolis Community Acupuncture for several years. Carrie is leaving our clinic to pursue an individual practice which will allow her flexibility to spend more time with her family. We wish her all the best in this new venture.
We treat in a group setting, which creates a dynamic healing "community" within the clinic. In Asia, acupuncture traditionally occurs in this type of community setting. This collective stillness is rare and precious in our rushed and busy society. We use reclining chairs and treatment tables that are in a peaceful open room, resulting in shared energy that can make individualized treatments more powerful.
There is a one- time $10 intake fee at your first visit in addition to the sliding scale fee. Minneapolis Community Acupuncture is a member of the People's Organization of Community Acupuncture. Like other sister community acupuncture clinics around the country we offer a sliding scale in order to separate the issues of money and treatment.

Deb is an incredibly helpful, effective, kind and diligent acupuncturist. I started seeing incredible improvements in my symptoms after only the first couple of treatments and from then onwards! I would highly recommend her treatments. In addition, the front desk staff is lovely and attentive. The clinic is clean, comfortable and warm. I appreciate the ability to have more access to services that help so many people.

It is my first time visit today for acupuncture. I feel lucky, the number one is the owner Deb knows ASL so we can communicate in Sign language. I love how she decided to use Chinese traditional method and healthy environment in a big room for everyone in peace and caring. After the treatment, I felt like, I am in balance : ) I have to go back again!

Three acupuncturists work here. All of them are wonderful, competent, warm, welcoming, and effective women whose varied approaches complement one another well. I was an admitted skeptic, but they’ve helped with migraines, menstrual cramps, and depression-related fatigue for more than a year now. My Western mind doesn’t “get it”, but I’m sold.

I love Minneapolis Community Acupuncture. Deborah is a very gifted healer and shares her years of training, experience and wisdom with great compassion. I am fearful of needles of any kind but I completely trust Deborah. Deborah has successfully treated me for a variety of needs and I look forward to my next session with her.

I've been to a couple different community acupuncture clinics and this one is by far my favorite. Deborah is kind, caring, and really listens to me and what I'm experiencing. She is very knowledgable and happy to share her thinking on what points she is using to treat me, and she always explains it in a way I can understand. Unlike most community clinics where there are only chairs, Minneapolis Community Acupuncture has reclining chairs and massage tables, so you can choose what fits your preference. (I like massage tables so much more! Laying down completely allows me to relax way more

Deborah easily alleviated my fears about acupuncture. And, true story...I rode my bicycle to her clinic/shop/space the first time and yes, I got lost. This is on me as I'm easily lost. Deborah was kind enough to come and pick me up a few blocks away. Me, I was 'afraid' of acupuncture. Deborah somehow got those fears to disappear and I embrace acupuncture now. She really is a nice, caring healer. She is the third acupuncturist (is that a proper word I don't know)....Deborah is the third acupuncture practitioner that I have visited with and sincerely I trust her to do what she does. Deborah is a

Deborah is a gracious woman who provides a quiet environment to rest and heal. If you haven't had acupuncture, this is a great place to start as it's incredibly affordable. You can do a series of appointments so you can really gage a noticeable shift in your energy! It has not only aided the healing of my body, but helped my mood and overall energy in life. I'm incredibly grateful for her work!

I really love that there is a place for everyone here at Northern Sky. Deborah makes acupuncture accessible to everyone in our community! Her approach is no nonsense and she is very kind.
Personally, I like the community feel, but I always wear headphones as I can focus and relax better when immersed quietly, in my own music. Come as you are and participate in a way that works for you. You won't regret your visit.

I was dealing with nausea and dizziness for several months and had seen multiple doctors and tried many remedies. Nothing worked better than acupuncture and after only one treatment my symptoms improved greatly. I recommend going 2-3 sessions per week, at least in the beginning for best results. My symptoms disappeared completely after the third treatment.
The clinic is clean, organized and well run. Deborah is caring and listened to all of my symptoms and came up with a great treatment plan. The sliding scale fee makes this clinic very accessible. I will continue using this clinic and I highly
