Happy Autumn folks!

  • OCA is closed October 11-13, 2025 for Thanksgiving
  • Weighted Blanket & Ear Acupuncture sessions are back. This monthly offering is kicking off Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025
  • Moxibustion Circles will begin in November 2025

PARKING NOTE: Visitor parking spots are now blocked off due to construction. OCA has 1 client parking spot (#27), and there is 3-hour free street parking along Booth, Primrose, Elm & Rochester streets. Big apologies for the parking inconvenience!

OCA’s fees increased May 1, 2025. A credit card must now be kept on file to book appointments (but if you don’t have a credit card, please talk to Rachel)! Cash & debit payments are still available.

  • If you are a returning patient having acute symptoms (physical or emotional), but the calendar indicates the day is ‘booked’, please text Rachel to see if she can squeeze you in at (613) 413-3804. If your symptoms aren’t acute but you’d like to be added to the waitlist for a certain already-booked day, please text or email Rachel. Late cancellations happen all the time!

Note: if the schedule says ‘unavailable’ it means Rachel is not in the studio that day

Community Acupuncture

Community acupuncture sessions offer individualized acupuncture care in a peaceful, shared room treatment setting. Treatments are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and diagnosis and are provided by a licensed practitioner. Cost per session is based on the individual's household income.

Rachel Lipton
(She/Her/Hers) Registered Acupuncturist

A community acupuncture enthusiast through and through, Rachel studied acupuncture in Victoria, B.C at Pacific Rim College.

Earning her license in 2016, Rachel began her practice in Toronto working at two community clinics - Toronto Community Acupuncture and Toronto Acupuncture Studio.

Her dream to open a clinic in a new city and help spread the community acupuncture movement more widely across Canada was sown early in her vision of practice. Rachel moved to Ottawa and opened OCA’s doors in May 2019. A community acupuncture room, with folks resting and healing peacefully together, is still one of her favourite places to be - even 12, 000 treatments later.
