Boston Acupuncture Project (BAP) welcomes Christine Rose to its Board of Directors.
Christine Rose is co-founder and owner of 4 Corners Yoga + Wellness in Dorchester and the founder and owner of Imani Massage in Jamaica Plain.
A graduate of Boston University, Christine’s professional career spans the food service industry, financial services, service-based businesses, and the not-for-profit sector. She is a member of the American Massage Therapy Association and volunteers on the Membership Experience Committee. She is also a member of the Dorchester Food Coop and volunteers regularly. Her volunteering and community leadership have taken her from Big Sisters, to Hebrew Senior Life Nursing Home, to serving on the Board of Directors at educational non-profit Abraham’s Tent. And now, Christine joins us at BAP.
In her words: “As a wellness practitioner, I believe in all complementary modalities to help affect change in the mind, body, and spirit. I also believe whole-heartedly in accessibility. I love that BAP is located in an adjacent neighborhood to me.”
Christine brings her entrepreneurial brilliance and passion for helping people to BAP, connecting two welcoming wellness organizations in Boston.
Boston Acupuncture Project, Inc. (BAP) builds community by providing widely accessible and affordable acupuncture in a community (group) setting and other forms of holistic health care. Regular access to acupuncture can help manage chronic illness, relieve pain, and resolve acute conditions.
In its 3 years open, BAP has given over 3,800 community acupuncture treatments to over 690 of our neighbors. Treatments are offered 5 days a week at 74 Fairmount Ave, Hyde Park, MA 02136. For more information and to book an appointment, please visit: www.BostonAcupunctureProject.org
As NPR put it: “With omicron, you need a mask that means business.”
If you come in with a cloth mask, we will now ask you to put on a surgical mask. (Surgical under cloth is OK.)
Acceptable Masks:
Got only cloth masks? Please look into getting a better mask!

Watch out for fakes – click here for advice about that from the CDC.
We are doing this to keep you as safe as possible while providing affordable, effective community acupuncture!
Thank you for your participation.
If you’ve been using the B-Local app, and you have Boston Points, use them by the end of 2021! As the year ends, so does the pilot phase of B-Local.
The pilot program was funded by the federal CARES Act, which expires at the end of this year. All pilot phase Boston Points expire on 12/31/2021 and your balance will go back to zero.
You can use your Boston Points to purchase acupuncture treatments NOW, even if you can’t use the treatments until 2022.
It’s easy: just order yourself a gift certificate.
We’ll find out! In the meantime, continue to use the B-local app to discover new local businesses across Boston.
For the past year, our New Patient Process has involved a tele-health intake followed by an in-person visit.
As of June 2021, tele-health visits are optional! NEW patients can book a first visit, online or by phone, and come to the clinic in person to get acupuncture right away.
For those who need a more in-depth, intensive discussion of their health concerns, we recommend still booking a tele-health intake.
Boston Acupuncture Project has joined the B-Local app from the City of Boston!
Here is how to get rewarded for every $ you spend at Boston Acupuncture Project (and other participating local businesses):
1. Download the app (in the App Store or Google Play)
2. Confirm your phone and email
3. Link a credit or debit card
4. Join all the offers within the app

6. Redeem your points at Boston Acupuncture Project (or any redeeming business).

After you fill out your information, link a card and then join offers!
It’s absolutely free – for you, and for participating businesses. Start earning rewards today:
Boston Acupuncture Project is both a participating AND redeeming business.
That means that, when you pay for 5 acupuncture treatments with your enrolled card, you will earn enough Boston Points to pay for your 6th treatment. What a great way to get more acupuncture!
If you are already using a credit/debit card at local businesses, why not get rewarded?!

Community acupuncture clinics (like us here at Boston Acupuncture Project!) work to keep care accessible, and we rely on many people paying a reasonable amount for every treatment to cover our expenses. That’s why we count on you to tell people in your life about Boston Acupuncture Project and how they should come here for acupuncture!
Part of being accessible means staying open. To do that right now, we have to raise prices. Our new sliding scale, starting Monday, November 16, will be $25 – $55 for return visits, plus a $10 intake fee for first visits only.
If this puts acupuncture out of your reach, please talk to your acupuncturist – we can almost always work something out.
For the clinic’s health, Boston Acupuncture Project needs around 20 people a week to pay $25, 10 people a week to pay $35, and 5 people a week to pay $45. Right now (as of October 2020) we are averaging about 22 treatments per week, with an average payment of about $22 per treatment.
Overall, we need to increase the number of people getting acupuncture here, and also the average payment per treatment, so that the clinic can stick around for years to come.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
We are so excited to get back to the clinic! Starting June 15, 2020 you can visit Boston Acupuncture Project for community acupuncture, in person. Visits are by appointment only, so please schedule online or call us at 617-506-3868 to book a time.
We have made a lot of changes for your safety, and have extensive new protocols that you can read in detail. Here is a quick summary of what you need to know before your first visit:
We are still providing tele-health consultations for both acu-pressure and herbal medicine (for existing patients only).
With an acu-pressure consultation we will discuss your health concerns and guide you through using specific acu-pressure points to support your health.
For herbal medicine consultations, we will discuss your health concerns, and then prescribe herbal remedies based on Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern diagnosis. Herbal remedies will be delivered directly from one of our suppliers to your home. Payment for herbal remedies is in addition to the cost of the consultation, but we try to keep everything as affordable as possible.
All tele-health appointments can be made online, but you can also call for additional times. Thank you for participating in community acupuncture!
