Price Increases in 2022
Our mission is to provide high-quality, accessible holistic healthcare and education in an effort to cultivate long-standing relationships between highly trained practitioners and the community that are socially and economically just.
We pride ourselves both in the high quality of care and attentiveness our practitioners and staff provide. Ensuring this high level of care along with our mission to provide accessible and affordable services for the community has always been a difficult task, but has become increasingly difficult as we grow in the current market.
To keep our services as accessible as possible, we have not raised our prices in three years; however, during that time period, we have continued to make substantial investment in our staff including guaranteed pay during covid, pay increases across the board, additions to PTO, sick time, and covered medical and dental health benefits for all full time staff. Raising prices is necessary for us to continue to be a supportive workplace.
In order to bridge the gap between our financial needs and our mission, as of January 1, 2022 we will be implementing a new tiered pricing approach for all of our services, similar to our community acupuncture pricing.
After a market analysis it was clear that our prices were below averages across the city. Our new Standard prices sit just below the median range for this service in Chicago. In addition, we will be extending flexible / tiered pricing to include a Reduced and Supportive price rate for all of our services to further foster our mission of accessible and affordable services.
What do the different tiers mean and who are they designed for?
Reduced - for patients who have limited means, are on a budget, or are coming in frequently (2+/week)
Standard - for most patients coming semi-frequently (1/week) - this pricing is set below the average price for similar services across the city to ensure our mission of accessible and affordable services.
Supportive - for patients who can afford to pay the market rate for services in Chicago, those coming in for maintenance or low frequency (1-2/month), or can be encouraged in lieu of tipping. Patients able to pay supportive prices are helping us foster our mission and help subsidize those who may be on a budget.
What our new pricing looks like:
What you choose to pay is entirely up to you and your comfort level. We understand that circumstances change and what you pay can change month to month or even appointment to appointment. As always, for those who may have more extreme needs or circumstances, please don't hesitate to talk with us, and we can do our best to make accommodations.
We will also be raising the prices of other services that will remain at a flat, non-tiered rate:
Cupping - $65
Ear Acupuncture - $20
90-minute bodywork - $165
We will continue to offer packages, and these will be set at a percentage discount from our standard pricing. We encourage you to purchase a package before the end of the year to ensure a few more treatments at our current prices.
Thank you for continuing to support our business, and happy holidays!
