The Community Difference
Dr. Kasie fell in love with the concept of "community acupuncture" back in 2010, and in 2011, she opened the first community style clinic in northern Pinellas county. There were 9 recliner chairs in one big room and it was busy busy!
Then, the COVID crisis came along and despite the many options for rebuilding and adapting to this new world, and over night, Calm Community Acupuncture's patient load was down about 70% and that's a lot for a business that had a tight margin to begin with. Fortunately, a space was available in Safety Harbor, just a few blocks away and in October of 2020, Dr. Kasie moved her practice and now has two private rooms. She still offers the sliding scale payments though, the heart and soul of community style acupuncture. ​
​
The most important thing is making sure that everyone who needs treatment can still get treatment, we want EVERYONE to be able to afford acupuncture. This is why the sliding scale is still an effective tool, pay what you can and know that if you pay the higher part of the scale, it will ensure that those who can't afford to pay that much can still get treatment.
Currently, we are on a sliding scale of $50-75 for a basic acupuncture treatment, back treatments with cupping are a set $85. ​
​
We hope this works for all of you and as always, if you need acupuncture and you are struggling financially ( especially due to TERMINAL illness) please, don't hesitate to reach out, we can always find a way to help you, no matter what.
