What is Community Acupuncture?

Community Acupuncture is acupuncture in a big room with other people. The room is calm, your intake is confidential, and the recliners are comfy.

Acupuncture is one of the most widely used therapies in the world. It is a safe and effective treatment and prevention for many illnesses. It’s also a powerful tool to promote health and generate self-​awareness.

Treating people in one room together allows practioners to see more than one person at a time, allowing for a sliding scale fee and enhancing the treatments by working with collective Qi.

Shiatsu

Six Degrees is an integrative Health Hub serving a diverse array of people and communities. Coming into our space is like walking into an Oasis in the city. People feel peaceful as they pass through the door, they settle in and relax into knowing each practitioner is qualified, certified, and attuned to your specific whole-​health needs.

History

Established in 2007.

Six Degrees was started by Susanda Yee and Matt Sedo. We have grown from a two-​room clinic into a health centre complete with three private treatment rooms, a community healing space and an intimate movement studio.

As of 2009, Six Degrees has been co-​owned by Susanda Yee and Lamia Gibson, and we are proud to share space with 25 other practitioners.

We are driven by community, justice, joy and health. We believe everyone deserves good health and we have learned from the models set forth by Working Class Acupuncture and from the good folks who developed NADA (an application of ear acupuncture used successfully to deal with substance use, trauma and stress).
