​3. Sliding Scale & Pay it Forward here at Synthesis Medicine Acupuncture

​

Sliding Scale

The sliding scale allows you to choose a rate that aligns with your financial situation if needed. Please reach out and  request a sliding scale eligibility form. 

 

We can even be creative. As a small business, I am open to trading for a range of services, just ask and we'll see if something makes sense.​ Please send me an email to discuss trade possibilities.

​

Pay it Forward

A way for those who wish to support our neighbors and community members for whom acupuncture is financially out of reach.​​ You may donate acupuncture session(s) or contribute any amount you feel comfortable with. Contributions will be used to provide acupuncture treatments to community members who are unable to seek out treatment due to financial constraints.​​​

 

If you have any questions about the program or would like to participate, please don’t hesitate to reach out.​​​​
