Give the Gift of Community Acupuncture

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.

Purchase In The Clinic

You can also purchase a paper gift certificate in our clinic at 74 Fairmount Ave, Hyde Park, MA 02136 anytime we’re open:

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.

Happy Holidays!

Journey to Inner Knowing: Reiki and Hypnosis Program by Kim Ecevido

Boston Acupuncture Project welcomes holistic therapist Kim Ecevido of Kensho Life to our treatment room. “Journey to Inner Knowing” empowers you to unlock intuition, develop meaningful self-care practices, and cultivate lasting harmony across mind, body, and spirit.

Embark on a profound journey to connect with your higher self, enhance your intuition, and create a nurturing space for self-care. Beginning with optional ear acupuncture and reiki, a Japanese healing technique, this program establishes an energetic balance to promote well-being, followed by a hypnosis session to gently guide you inward and access your inner wisdom.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive healing technique originating from Japan that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and enhances overall well-being. Practitioners channel energy through their hands, either lightly touching or hovering above the body, to balance the recipient’s energy and support the body’s natural healing processes. This calming practice helps to relieve tension, improve mental clarity, and encourage emotional and spiritual balance. Reiki is used throughout hospitals around the world. Locally Brigham and Women’s, Children’s Hospital, and Mass General are just a few that use Reiki for patients on a regular basis.

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of deep relaxation and heightened awareness that allows individuals to access their subconscious mind more easily. We access various states of hypnosis on a regular basis without even knowing. Hypnosis uses suggestions and imagery to help individuals reframe thoughts, release negative patterns, and make positive changes. Often used
for stress reduction, habit change, and self-improvement, hypnosis works by bypassing the conscious mind to access and transform deeper beliefs and behaviors.

What happens in this program?

Each participant will receive a few minutes of individual Reiki. Participants may also receive ear acupuncture from licensed acupuncturist Ren Pilinger. Finally, Kim Ecevido leads a group hypnosis session for 30 minutes.

Who is Kim?

Kim Ecevido, founder of Kensho Life, has over 11 years of experience serving Boston and the surrounding areas, specializing in women’s wellness through both in-person and online hypnosis and holistic therapies.

As a Consulting Hypnotist, Reiki Master, Holistic Therapist, and National Guild of Hypnotists member, Kim combines hypnosis, energy healing, and other holistic practices to help clients achieve balance through their mind, body, and spirit.

Her customized sessions address a client’s goals, including emotional healing, improved relationships, grief recovery, and more. By uncovering and transforming limiting beliefs and patterns, Kim guides clients in resolving challenges at their root, empowering lasting change and helping them reach their highest potential.
