Barefoot Doctor Community Acupuncture Clinic

Jenny is a true healer in every sense. I don’t live in Philly any longer, but being treated by her was a true gift. She’s caring while being no nonsense and the space is always clean and has peaceful energy. Sliding scale options were greatly appreciated, but she’s worth every penny! Couldn’t recommend more.

I adore this space, the owner and now Charlie who I met for the first time yesterday. I am NOT a massage person and I took a chance in booking randomly after seeing the availability of a masseuse at Barefoot. I knew I needed a professional to help with chronic issues but have avoided it. Charlie was PHENOMENAL in both craft and ensuring I was comfy. Everything was top notch from the light fragrances, warm sheets, soft soothing sounds and mood lighting 😏.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

There is something so special about this place!! Today was my second time going and Jenny’s energy and work was everything I needed. We need more of this generosity and understanding in the acupuncture realm.

Receiving acupuncture at Barefoot has changed my wellness drastically. I first came here years ago just for general stress relief and sleep issues, but in the past year have returned for weekly fertility treatments. The care I have received has been the most consistent and informed out of all the other providers I have been to (doctors, nurses, ob/gyn, etc.). Jenny has not only provided me with acu sessions but also a wealth of knowledge on the repro system, assisted repro technology, supplements and overall wellness and lifestyle changes. Being able to receive such holistic and grounded health care at a sliding scale is so incredibly important and something that is missing in so many communities, unfortunately. I am so truly grateful for this resource and hope that everyone who frequents Barefoot tells their friends and families to also access acupuncture sessions here! Absolutely everyone can benefit from it!

Yesterday was my first time doing acupuncture and I had the pleasure of being treated by Rachel. Rachel was wonderful! She was genuine, calm and guided me throw my first appt. I would simply come back because of her. She listened to me and was very comforting. I look forward to returning! The office was welcoming and the vibes were zen! Thank you for making my first experience both memorable and enjoyable. I would like to report that my back pain has subsided from yesterday :)

I have diagnosed ulnar nerve syndrome in both arms, which has caused numbness and tingling from above the elbow to my fingertips for years. Surgery was recommended back in the 90's but I was also told that it would come right back if I continued to use computers. As an administrative assistant not using a computer was not an option! So I just made do all these years.

Recently, a family member went to Barefoot Doctor Community Acupuncture for carpal tunnel syndrome and found great relief. They are similar illnesses so I decided to try it. I am so glad that I did! After one relaxing treatment my symptoms were greatly diminished. After two visits the symptoms were nearly gone. I am five or six visits in now and some days are completely symptom-free. When I do feel anything, it's very mild.

The office is quiet and calm, and each treatment area is comfortably secluded by curtains. Jenny and Rachel are kind and gentle, and explain the process well. The sliding scale ensures that this wonderful care is more accessible than a doctor's visit to the uninsured. Highly recommended.

I came here to try an acupuncture treatment after seeing it recommended on a neighborhood group. I cannot say enough great things! Rachel was so knowledgeable, personable and put me at ease during my first ever acupuncture appt. The atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. Highly recommended!

Updating my review to say that Jenny is amazing as well. I've been going to her for several weeks now. She does a great job and she's a lovely person. I always enjoy chatting with her. Also, I had to post a picture of their space because it's gorgeous and relaxing.

Jenny is the best. I’m so grateful I found this place when I first moved to Philly. I would say you’ve found yourself a gem if you landed a spot in one of Jenny’s chairs. She’s got you covered!!! Thank you for all you do, Jenny!
