(NCCAOM), LAc., CHPCAS, Trained Doula strives each day to provide the best possible care and education for her patients.

chanted with the practice of Biomedicine in the current healthcare paradigm while attending her undergraduate studies at Rochester Institute of Technology. After taking some time to evaluate her position after her Bachelor’s degree, she discovered acupuncture and later enrolled at the Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture and New York Chiropractic College. While in school, Melody discovered not only a passion for Traditional Chinese Medicine but also what acupuncture could do for her patients. After graduating, Melody took a particular interest in the life cycle and in the transitions we make as we go through events such as birth and death. This led her to pursue her certification in Hospice and Palliative Care Acupuncture as well as her DONA training as a Doula. She is currently working towards full DONA certification.

No needles. No downtime. Just tiny seeds (or metal beads) placed on specific points of your ear with adhesive tape — and you wear them for days.

How do they work?
They apply gentle, continuous acupressure to stimulate your body's natural healing pathways. Think of them as a "slow drip" of acupuncture that keeps working long after your session ends.

Why choose ear seeds?
✅ Perfect if you're new to acupuncture or prefer a needle-free option
✅ Leave them on for days to extend the benefits
✅ Discreet, painless, and deeply grounding

Ear seeds are great for:
🌿 Anxiety & stress
🌿 Insomnia
🌿 Cravings & addiction support
🌿 Nervous system regulation

Want to try them?

Come to Community Acupuncture — choose ear seeds OR NADA ear needles. Your body, your choice.

Acupuncture isn't just about "relaxing" — it's a direct conversation with your nervous system. 🧠✨

By stimulating specific points (especially on the ear and vagus nerve pathways), acupuncture helps:

🌿 Regulate vagus nerve tone
🌿 Shift you out of "fight or flight"
🌿 Promote a genuine state of calm and safety

This isn't placebo. It's physiology.

And the best part? You don't need a dozen needles or a private room to experience it.

Our Community Acupuncture sessions use the NADA protocol — 5 gentle ear points that access the nervous system quickly and effectively. No need to undress. No hour-long intake. Just rest, regulation, and community.

I'll be honest: I love a good pun. My patients… tolerate it. 😅

This actually happened after a session. Needles out, patient relaxing on the table, and I said:

"Oh good, you didn't go anywhere. I guess you were a little PINNED DOWN."

The facepalm was immediate. And deserved.

But here's the thing — acupuncture doesn't have to be so serious all the time. Yes, it's deep work. Yes, it regulates your nervous system and helps with pain, anxiety, PTSD, and more. But there's also room for a little lightness.

So if you show up to an appointment or event with me, just know:
✅ You'll get trauma-informed, skilled care
✅ Your nervous system will thank you
✅ And you might have to smile through a terrible pun

No pressure. The facepalm is welcome too.

Come for the nervous system regulation. Stay for the dad jokes (or in spite of them).

arseeds vs. NADA ear acupuncture — same map, different tools. 🗺️👂

Both work with the ear's microsystem to calm anxiety, support PTSD recovery, improve sleep, and activate your "rest & digest" mode.

But the experience is different:

🌱 Earseeds → acupressure, wear for days, press at home, needle-free. Great for kids, anxiety around needles, or ongoing support.

📍 NADA ear acupuncture → 5 tiny needles inserted by a trained practitioner, removed after 30–45 min. Developed for community trauma, stress, and recovery. Faster nervous system shift.

Come try either one— at our Community Acupuncture offering:

One week away.

A quiet space to land.
No fixing. No rushing. Just rest.

What: Community Acupuncture for stress, resilience, emotional balance — or simply a moment to breathe.

Where: The Aligned Collective
1441 South Ave, Rochester, NY 14620

When: May 3rd 2026 1-3PM

How it works:

You'll settle in — either on a cozy floor nest (yoga mats, bolsters, blankets) or in a chair. A brief check-in. Then ear acupuncture or ear seeds (your choice). Then 30–45 minutes of quiet rest while gentle music and grounding scents hold the space.

This is not a big treatment.
It's a small, powerful pause.

No needles? Ear seeds work beautifully.

No experience needed. Everyone is welcome.

Cost: $22

We're used to thinking of healing as something we do alone — in a therapist's office, a private acupuncture room, or behind closed doors.

But some of the most profound healing happens together.

When we show up in a shared space — lying on mats, needles in our ears, breathing in rhythm with strangers who become allies — we remember:

🔹 We are not broken alone.
🔹 Rest is collective.
🔹 Accessible care is a form of resistance.

That's exactly what Community Acupuncture is about.

💰 $22 for a 2-hour gentle session using the NADA protocol (ear acupuncture or earseeds — your choice)

Everything we put on our skin works from the outside in.

The AcuGlow Facial works the other way around. ✨

Slide through to see the 4 layers of this 90-minute treatment — from cosmetic acupuncture to red light therapy, gua sha, and a hydrojelly mask.

This is not a standard facial. No extractions. No harsh products. Just tiny needles, gentle light, gua sha sculpting, and a cooling hydrojelly finish.

Your skin glows because your whole body relaxes.

And with Mother's Day right around the corner — this makes a beautiful gift. For the mom who already has enough candles. For the mom who never books time for herself. For the mom who deserves to feel as good as she gives.

Your skin knows how to heal.
We just give it a reason.

That's the whole idea behind cosmetic acupuncture and microneedling.

No lasers. No surgery. No mystery.

Just tiny, safe micro-wounds that wake up your skin's own repair team. They get to work making new collagen — and over time, you get softer lines, tighter feel, and a fresher version of you.

This is what natural skin remodeling looks like.

You don't need more quick fixes.
You need someone who actually listens.

That's why your first visit with me is 90 minutes.

Not 30. Not rushed.
Just you, your story, and a real plan.

By the time you leave, you've already had your first treatment — and you know exactly what's next.

This is what deep care feels like.

Acupuncture + Celluma + gua sha + a CBD Dope hydrojelly mask = a full reset for his face (and his nervous system).

Let's talk about the "insurance question" — because I get asked this a lot. 🙋‍♀️

Short answer: I'm out-of-network.
Long answer: There's a good reason for it.

Being out-of-network means I'm not stuck inside an insurance company's rulebook. No limits on visit length. No rushing you out the door. No treatment plans dictated by a billing code instead of your actual body.

It means I get to focus on you — not paperwork.

If your insurance plan covers out-of-network acupuncture, I'm happy to provide a superbill (fancy receipt) so you can seek reimbursement. Many of my patients do this successfully!

So yes, you can use your insurance here — you just might need to submit things yourself. Think of it as a tiny scavenger hunt with a check at the end. 🕵️‍♀️💸
