OCA is shifting its payment system process and increasing fees May 1, 2025. Starting April 15th, all clients will be required to keep a credit card on file to make appointments (but if you don’t have a credit card, please talk to Rachel). Cash & debit payments will still be available. Thank you for this administrative shift forward!

If you are a returning patient having acute symptoms (physical or emotional) and you really need some acupuncture but the day says BOOKED, text Rachel at 613.413.3804 to see if she can squeeze you in.

  • OCA’s hours have been shifted April 28th to May 30th to avoid roof work maintenance on the building. The Tuesday AM shift will remain available but be prepared for possible machine soundscape if you book during that window. Thanks for your understanding!

  • Rachel away May 2-6, 2025

  • OCA turns 6 on May 14th! Thank you for your support and lovely healing-human-selves for 11,650 treatments. We ARE the community acupuncture movement!

  • OCA closed May 13-15, 2025. We’re getting in a new crew of recliners!

  • Upcoming MELT Method classes at Pranashanti Yoga: Saturday, May 24th Neck & Jaw Release. Book online through the Pranashanti Yoga website!

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.
