Founded by friends and fellow acupuncturists Grace Flynn and Benjamin Crisford, Lewes Community Acupuncture was created to provide high-quality, professional acupuncture treatments to the local community at an affordable price.

Our mission is to make the benefits of regular acupuncture accessible to as many people as possible. We offer a flexible, sliding-scale payment model, which allows you to choose a price that suits your budget—no proof of income required. Appointments are open to both new and returning clients, with no restrictions.

Our community acupuncture clinic is held in a 'multi-bed' setting, meaning several people are treated on separate treatment tables together in one large space. Acupuncture needles usually take 20-45 minutes to do their work, so the practitioner can place needles in one patient and leave them to relax before moving on to another patient. This way of working enables us to significantly reduce the price of each treatment for our patients.

While multi-bed clinics are relatively new to the West, in China it is considered normal to treat many people together, with private acupuncture appointments being less common. As well as benefitting from the lower price, many people prefer the experience of receiving acupuncture in a more communal atmosphere.
