Christian Villacres, L.Ac joins Five Point Ownership Team

We are thrilled to announce that Christian made the big step of becoming an owner of Five Point. In early July, Christian joined Celeste, Ryan, and Nathan as the seventh owner of our worker co-op since our inception. Christian began working at Five Point as an acupuncturist in 2017, and he quickly demonstrated strong leadership skills and commitment to our business and community.

Christian grew up in Washington D.C. in a lively Latin household and was taught from an early age to value a natural and healthy lifestyle. Following a career in Art and Design, his interest in natural health and longevity lead him to Chinese Martial Arts, internal development, and ultimately into the study of Chinese Medicine. He graduated from PCOM Chicago in 2016. Informed by the richness of both Eastern and Western Science, embracing both Tradition and Modernity, he strives to help his patients achieve and maintain their highest quality of life.

As an owner, Christian brings his art and design skills to the Five Point marketing and outreach team. He is fluent in Spanish, and helps to broaden our accessibility and outreach to the Hispanic community. He is currently pursuing a doctorate at Bastyr University in order to hone his clinical skills. 

Christian's ambition, work ethic, warmth, and sense of humor makes him a valued member of the ownership team, and we look forward to growing our business with him by our side.
