Wild Rose Medicine
How Care Works
Our sliding-scale model is designed to support consistent, high-quality integrative care for members of the North Lake Tahoe community — regardless of financial circumstances.
A Model Built on Trust
Wild Rose Medicine is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit clinic. Sliding-scale pricing is not a discount — it is the foundation of how we practice. Healing requires consistency, and consistency must be financially possible.
When you come to Wild Rose Medicine, you select a rate within a set range that reflects your current financial reality. Those who are able to contribute at the higher tiers help sustain access to care for others in our community. There is no income verification, no paperwork, and no judgment. This model is built on trust and community support.
Follow-up acupuncture treatments range from $85–$185. Initial visits range from $145–$245. Rates are selected within a three-tier sliding scale.
"Through our sliding-scale model, each patient contributes at a level that reflects their current resources — helping sustain access to care across our community."

Receive Your Care
I listen deeply, create a personalized plan, and provide treatment — acupuncture, herbal formulas, supplements, and guidance.
Build Consistency
For meaningful and lasting change, I often recommend beginning with weekly sessions for approximately three months. This allows treatment to build progressively over time.
What Can Be Included in Your Care
Every care plan is unique. Depending on your needs, your treatment may include some or all of the following.
Acupuncture
Fine-needle treatment targeting specific points to reduce pain and regulate the nervous system.
Custom Herbal Formulas
Personalized herbal medicine crafted from the Wild Rose apothecary, tailored to your unique pattern and health goals.
Supplements & Nutrition
Evidence-informed supplement recommendations and nutritional guidance designed to complement your treatment plan.
Integrative Counseling
Integrative counseling that addresses the emotional, behavioral, and lifestyle dimensions of health — recognizing that healing happens on multiple levels.
Cupping, E-stim, and Massage
Hands-on therapies to release tension, improve circulation, and support recovery—using cupping, gentle e-stim, and therapeutic massage based on what your body needs.
Superbills for Insurance
I provide detailed superbills you can submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance provider.
