Our founder, Alexa Hulsey, started her acupuncture practice like most do – with a traditional private room clinic. However, she quickly became frustrated that her friends couldn’t afford her prices or get treated as often as they needed. That’s why Alexa opened Encircle Acupuncture (formerly East Nashville Community Acupuncture) as a community acupuncture clinic. Treating patients in a community setting on a sliding payment scale allows us to keep acupuncture affordable and accessible to everyone.
