Who Designed These Plans

Practitioner-built, clinically honest

Every membership was designed by our co-founders, Lauren Dunn, L.Ac. and Dr. Yen Man, L.Ac., DAIM, licensed acupuncturists who lead the care at AKARA. Frequency recommendations follow clinical need, not sales targets: your practitioner will tell you when to step down a tier, not just up. For standard session rates, see our fees and pricing page.

Membership Questions

At AKARA Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine, monthly memberships range from $144 to $171 per session depending on frequency: Wellness at 2 sessions/month ($171/session), Corrective at 4 sessions/month ($162/session), and Intensive at 8 sessions/month ($144/session). The standard non-member rate is $180 per follow-up session.

Yes. All monthly memberships renew month to month and can be canceled anytime. There are no long-term contracts.

Wellness (2/month) suits maintenance when you already feel steady. Corrective (4/month) suits ongoing but not urgent patterns like early pain, disrupted sleep, or hormone imbalance. Intensive (8/month) suits flared chronic conditions, new injuries, or support during active cancer treatment. Your practitioner will recommend a tier at your first visit and adjust it as you progress.

No. Herbal medicine and supplements are never bundled into the membership price. They are always a separate, discounted add-on: members receive 10% off in-store products, skincare, and herbal formulas, and 20% off Fullscript supplement orders. See how we approach herbal medicine.

The initial visit ($250) is billed separately and is not included in membership pricing. Membership session rates apply to follow-up visits. Details on our fees page.
