Helen is amazing! She is very caring and calming. I was so impressed with the relaxing and healing environment, and even after the first session being treated for anxiety/stress, I am noticing a huge difference in my baseline conscious awareness. I am looking forward to my next appointment! The community clinic style and sliding scale is so awesome.

So happy to have discovered Bellingham Community Acupuncture! In our modern "assembly line" health care system, a place like this is a breath of fresh air where patients receive caring, individualized unhurried attention. The facility is an oasis of calm and Matt is attentive and compassionate, authentically invested in his patients.

A: Good question! There's a simple, short, and wonderful book to read for free about that here, a free audiobook version here, and a version to buy here. A: A common dose of acupuncture is 5 treatments over the course of 3 weeks to see if it's helping you. If it is, you continue for another 3 weeks to see how far we can progress.

Great first experience. Treatment is done in a community treatment room like the Chinese model. Prices are affordable, sliding scale for cost. Online scheduling available. Excellent professionalism from the acupuncturist. They make it easy to get high quality treatment.

A very welcoming and calming atmosphere created by caring and knowledgeable acupuncturists. After my third visit for back pain, I’m already feeling better.

Matthew has helped me in so many ways. I've let too much time lapse since my last visit. My body is crying for help. It's such a relief that this place is so close to home. To top it all off, it's even affordable!

I was conflicted when I came in on if this was going to be a good fit for myself. I was really happy on how I am treated when I am there. Thank you for helping me out!

I have been going to Matt since he opened. The group acupuncture clinic allows people to receive excellent care at a reasonable price. Matt has helped me with seasonal adjustments and neck and shoulder pain and stiffness, among other things. The clinic is clean, comfortable and relaxing. Highly recommended!

Clean, easy to get to, and inside: a beautiful, relaxing space. Matt was easy to talk to and highly skilled. Very thorough yet efficient intake. He certainly knows his stuff. We discussed enough to put me at ease, and he was gentle and checked in to see if I wanted all these different points, including auricular (ear) points. You don’t usually get ear points at most Community Acupuncture clinics! I’ve been to Community Acupuncture spots all over the country and this experience was one of the best I’ve ever had. Really welcoming staff. Super easy, well organized payment station. Go here!
