BAP at Open Streets Boston – Hyde Park

Licensed acupuncturist Ren treats a patient outdoors near the Hyde Park mural on the side of the clinic's Fairmount Ave building.

Open Streets Boston events help people experience streets as public spaces where communities thrive. City streets transform into vibrant, pedestrian-friendly boulevards where people can dream, play, and explore.

During these free, family-friendly events, Open Streets Boston will temporarily close major thoroughfares to car traffic. This opens them to people biking, walking, rolling, and connecting with neighbors and local businesses.

 I have been an educator and consultant of Holistic Health for over 25 years.  As a doctor of acupuncture (Chinese medicine), I chose to specialize in AURICULOTHERAPY or what is also known as Ear acupressure using EARSEEDS in place of acupuncture needles. My goal is to provide holistic health education and treatments that may help not only relieve your pain and discomfort, but prevent dis-ease using and applying the fundamental healing principles of your body.
