Celebrate 2025 with a $25 acupuncture treatment! This month only, NEW patients get their first community acupuncture treatment with us for only $25. Our regular sliding scale is $40-$60 for first visits, so this is a big discount!
Nicole Brown, licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, returns to Boston Acupuncture Project on Monday, December 16. Appointments are available only from 1:00-4:00 PM, so book soon!
Nicole Brown is in private practice at nearby Inner Sage Boston Acupuncture & Wellness, LLC. She earned her Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine from the New England School of Acupuncture (NESA) in 2008. Nicole also has extensive training in nutrition and functional medicine. She specializes in women’s health issues, fertility, hormones, and stress-related conditions.
With her multicultural upbringing and background in psychology, Nicole has a unique perspective on health and healing focused on mind/body root cause and solutions. Nicole combines conventional and holistic approaches, educating and empowering patients to achieve lasting health and wellness.
BAP’s executive director, Oren “Ren” Pilinger, met Nicole when they both worked on Small Steps Project pop-up clinics with We Got Us, offering free holistic healing to the community. Ren can personally attest to the power of Nicole’s acupuncture treatments!

Imagine being able to gift someone relaxation, well-being, relief from pain, or a good night’s sleep. Maybe those things don’t go inside a gift bag under a tree, but you can give a gift certificate to Boston Acupuncture Project.
Purchase Online
The easiest way to purchase is to go to our Scheduling page and click the very first link. It looks like this:
Purchasing online will give you instant access to a printable gift certificate. The best value is the Three Acupuncture Treatments with Intake package. This covers a first visit plus two return visits at a slight discount.
Remember when purchasing a gift to please use your own name – otherwise it may be flagged as fraud. It must match the name on your credit/debit card! You can put the recipient’s name in the “Note To Business” section.
If you’ve purchased a certificate online and want a paper one to go with it, feel free to call or text us at 617-506-3868 and we can figure it out!
Give to a Neighbor in Need
You can also give the gift of community acupuncture to neighbors you don’t even know by contributing to our Pay It Forward fund. Neighbors who can’t afford to pay on our regular sliding scale can use a Pay It Forward treatment instead. This kind of gift is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law, because we are a 501c3 non-profit organization.
How to use the special: just let us know you’re an educator* when you fill out your intake form, or come in for your visit, and get unlimited discounted community acupuncture treatments** in September 2024 at Boston Acupuncture Project.
Pay in the clinic before or after your visit – these prices are not available with online payment. We accept credit/debit cards (including most HSA/FSA cards), Apple pay, CashApp, and of course regular cash.
*Educators = anyone who works at any school or childcare center or any other job providing education/support in a school/childcare setting.
**treatments are regular community acupuncture treatments; this special does not apply to Bubble Blocks and cannot be combined with any other special offers. Thanks for understanding!

Boston Acupuncture Project builds community by providing widely accessible and affordable acupuncture. Boston Acupuncture Project is here for you – and thanks to you. But what does the “sliding scale” really mean?
We need to average $40 per visit.
We want to keep our sliding scale at $30-$60 for as long as possible. In order to continue to stay open and provide treatments, our clinic needs to average $40 per visit. (This assumes we’re averaging 50 visits per week.) This is a literal average – every dollar counts! But to keep it simple, let’s break it into 3 tiers:
Paying $50 or more helps us keep the low end of the sliding scale at $30, save for emergencies, and potentially even grow to have more open hours, more programs, and more staff.
Paying $40 helps sustain Boston Acupuncture Project financially. Thank you! This is the average payment we need to keep things running, assuming enough people are coming in.
If you are only able to pay $30, thank you so much – please keep paying $30 per visit.
If you need to pay $30, we want you to pay $30.
No matter how much you pay, we want you to be able to get as much acupuncture as you need to see a real difference in your health concerns. Not only does your life improve, but then you can tell other people about how acupuncture helped you! And that helps us reach more new patients, and fulfill our mission.
So, if paying more than $30 would prevent you from getting as much acupuncture as you need, we do not want you to pay more than $30. We want you to get enough acupuncture. There are also plenty of ways you can help BAP keep our doors open that are not paying more on the sliding scale, if you’re interested!
