What this means for our patients is that we will continue the same amazing care we have always been providing! We wish Cara the best on her new journey and are so grateful for her trust in continuing her legacy! Thank you to and for facilitating this transition and the many hours of work we all put in together!

For those of you who know and work with me, it’s no secret that I’ve struggled with the question of retiring. My husband’s moving to Portugal pushed the decision.

As I start my 44th year in clinical practice, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to step back, especially since the practice I’ve built is strong and thriving. I wanted to find a way to continue my legacy and my commitment to community, learning, and excellence in Chinese Medicine.

I found the perfect solution.

Six Fishes Acupuncture is now a member-owned cooperative. Not only that, it’s the first worker-owner conversion! We’ve been working on this transition for nearly a year with an extraordinary non-profit: The Philadelphia Area Cooperative Alliance (PACA) (https://philadelphia.coop/). They have guided us through every step of this conversion. This solution truly aligns with my values and commitment to community service.

This new model will help keep the practice connected to the community, with practitioners and admin guiding its future. For now, Nicole Mena, Paul Cybularz, Amanda DeJesus, and Ona McGovern are the member-owners. Later, membership will be open to the entire team.

If you think acupuncture only treats muscle pain, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

This patient came to us with a persistent rash around her eyes that hadn’t responded to other treatments. In Chinese Medicine, the body is viewed as an interconnected system — where the internal organs and the surface of the body reflect one another. Inflammation is often a sign of deeper internal imbalance.

After just one session, there was visible improvement. With continued care, the rash fully resolved.

By addressing the underlying pattern, not just the surface symptom — Chinese Medicine supports the body’s natural ability to regulate, repair, and heal.

Most people don’t learn this in their history classes: in the early 1970s, the Black Panther Party and allied activists brought acupuncture into community health work as a tool for healing and liberation — long before it entered mainstream awareness.

At Lincoln Detox in the South Bronx, acupuncture was used to help people through addiction withdrawal and stress, leading to what we now know as the NADA protocol.

This work wasn’t just about needles — it was about providing equal access, empowerment, and community care. When healthcare comes from the people, for the people, healing becomes a form of resistance.
