— MOBILE ACUPUNCTURE IN LOS ANGELES & PASADENA
Can't easily make it into an acupuncture clinic? We can bring acupuncture to you.
Healing with Zen now offers mobile acupuncture and in-home acupuncture treatments
throughout select areas of Los Angeles, with a primary service area around Pasadena and the San Gabriel Valley.
Our mobile acupuncture service has a special focus on women's health and complex health
conditions and is designed for people who may have difficulty traveling to an acupuncture office
because of pain, fatigue, limited mobility, illness, treatment side effects, or other health challenges.
NO DRIVING
NO SITTING IN TRAFFIC
NO WAITING ROOM
CARE BROUGHT TO YOU
Sometimes getting to an appointment is the hardest part
Severe pain, fatigue, mobility limitations, cancer treatment, chronic illness, or other health concerns can make leaving home difficult — especially on the days when you may need support the most.
With mobile acupuncture, a licensed acupuncturist comes directly to your home so you can receive individualized acupuncture care in a familiar, comfortable environment.
We bring everything needed for your treatment — including our own professional treatment table and acupuncture supplies. You don't need to own a massage table or provide special equipment. All we ask is that you have a clean, quiet area with enough space for us to comfortably set up the treatment table.

Very little! We bring our own treatment table
and all the supplies needed for your
acupuncture session.
Before your appointment, we'll provide simple
instructions to help you prepare. Generally, all
you'll need is:
A clean, quiet area with enough room for us to set
up our treatment table
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing when possible
A space where you can relax without interruption
during your treatment
We'll take care of the rest. Our goal is to make receiving acupuncture at home as simple and comfortable as possible.
— BUILT WITH THESE JOURNEYS IN MIND
Every situation is different — we recommend a short conversation
first so we can confirm mobile acupuncture is appropriate for you.
ENDOMETRIOSIS & PELVIC PAIN
FIBROMYALGIA & CHRONIC PAIN
CANCER TREATMENT SUPPORT
CARING FOR AN OLDER PARENT
LIMITED MOBILITY
PERIMENOPAUSE & MENOPAUSE
POSTPARTUM RECOVERY
Our in-home acupuncture service may be especially helpful for people who are experiencing health
challenges that make traveling to a clinic difficult. We have a particular interest in supporting women
throughout different stages of life and complex women's health concerns, including:
For some women, endometriosis symptoms and pelvic pain become severe enough that
even leaving the house feels overwhelming. Acupuncture may be incorporated into a
broader care plan to help support pelvic discomfort, menstrual symptoms, stress, and sleep
difficulties.

Living with fibromyalgia can mean unpredictable days of widespread pain, fatigue, poor
sleep, and heightened sensitivity. Mobile acupuncture lets you receive care without the
added physical demands of traveling to and from an appointment.
Explore published research on acupuncture for fibromyalgia, pain, and related symptoms.
Getting to another appointment can feel exhausting during treatment. In-home
acupuncture may support patients experiencing fatigue, nausea, discomfort, sleep
difficulties, or stress — complementing, never replacing, your oncology team's care.
Read published research on acupuncture as complementary supportive care for chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting.
Transportation can become a significant barrier to receiving care. Mobile acupuncture allows
appropriate patients to be treated at home without navigating stairs, parking, or long trips
outside the house.
Our practitioners have extensive experience working with women's health concerns. Depending on your individual situation, acupuncture may be incorporated into care for concerns related to:
• Painful periods and menstrual discomfort
• Endometriosis
• PMS
• Perimenopause and menopause
• Stress and anxiety
• Sleep difficulties
• Chronic pain
• Fatigue
• Fertility and reproductive health
• Postpartum support
Every patient and every health condition is different. Your treatment plan will be individualized based on your health history, symptoms, goals, and clinical assessment.
We want your first treatment to be thorough, personalized,
and comfortable
Tell us about your location, mobility needs, and what you're hoping for. We'll confirm whether an in-home visit is appropriate before scheduling anything.
Your initial appointment will be longer than subsequent treatments so your practitioner has time to understand your health history and determine whether acupuncture is appropriate for your needs. This visit is standalone — there is no obligation to book anything further. Your visit may include:
Because we are treating you in your home, your practitioner will also help determine an appropriate and comfortable space for treatment.
Whether and how you continue is entirely up to you. Follow-up visits are scheduled according to the care plan presented at your initial visit and adjusted based on how you're responding to treatment.
INITIAL MOBILE ACUPUNCTURE VISIT
FOLLOW-UP MOBILE ACUPUNCTURE
TREATMENT(OPTIONAL)
TREATMENT BED, IF
REQUIRED
Because mobile acupuncture appointments require dedicated travel and treatment time, we require full payment before the appointment date to secure your initial appointment.
After we receive your inquiry, our team will confirm your location, appointment availability, and whether mobile acupuncture is appropriate for your needs. Once your appointment details are confirmed, we'll collect the $100 non-refundable deposit.
Cancellation Policy: We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations or rescheduling requests made with less than 24 hours' notice will result in the full amount being non-refundable.
Less Travel
Avoid driving across Los Angeles, arranging transportation, finding parking, or navigating public spaces when you aren't feeling well.
Treatment in a Familiar Environment
Receive care in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Individualized Attention
Your visit is dedicated to understanding your symptoms, health history, and treatment goals.
Continuity of Care
When appropriate, we can coordinate our complementary approach alongside the medical care you are already receiving.
Care for Complex Health Concerns
Our practitioners understand that chronic and complex conditions often involve more than one symptom. We look at your health as a whole rather than focusing solely on one complaint.

Receive acupuncture at home when pain, fatigue, limited mobility, or other health challenges make traveling to a clinic difficult.

— FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Mobile acupuncture — sometimes called in-home acupuncture, at-home acupuncture, or house-call acupuncture — allows you to receive acupuncture treatment at your home rather than traveling to an acupuncture clinic. A licensed acupuncturist brings the necessary treatment supplies to you and performs your treatment in an appropriate space within your home.
Very little! We bring our own professional treatment table and all necessary acupuncture supplies. All you need is a clean, quiet area with enough space for us to comfortably set up and provide your treatment.
Yes. Healing with Zen's primary mobile acupuncture service area is Pasadena and surrounding communities, with select appointments available throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Contact us with your ZIP code to determine availability.
Our mobile acupuncture program has a special focus on women's health and conditions that disproportionately affect women, but inquiries are welcome from anyone who may benefit from receiving acupuncture at home. Eligibility is determined based on clinical appropriateness, location, practitioner availability, and the ability to safely provide treatment in the home.
Acupuncture is commonly sought as a complementary approach by patients experiencing endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain. Your practitioner will evaluate your individual symptoms and determine how acupuncture may fit alongside the care you're receiving from your physician or women's healthcare provider.
Some patients use acupuncture as complementary supportive care during cancer treatment. Because cancer treatments and individual medical circumstances vary considerably, we may request coordination or clearance from your oncology team before beginning treatment. Acupuncture does not replace oncology treatment or medical care.
Yes. Mobile acupuncture may be particularly useful for older adults who have difficulty traveling because of mobility limitations, chronic pain, fatigue, or other health concerns. Contact us to discuss your family member's circumstances and whether an in-home appointment would be appropriate.
Your initial mobile acupuncture consultation and treatment will be longer so your practitioner can complete a comprehensive health assessment, provide your first treatment, and present your report of findings and personalized care plan before you leave. Please allow 90 minutes. If you choose to continue, expect 60 minutes for follow-up treatments.
No. Your initial visit can be booked as a standalone appointment. Your report of findings and personalized care plan are presented at the end of that same visit, and whether you'd like to continue with follow-up treatment is entirely your decision.
Initial Mobile Acupuncture Visit: $400. Follow-Up Mobile Acupuncture Treatment, if you choose to continue: $350. Treatment bed (if required): $50. Because mobile appointments require additional practitioner travel and setup time, pricing differs from appointments at our Pasadena clinic.
