About Us
Clients come to community acupuncture clinics primarily because the low, sliding scale fees make it possible for them to receive treatments frequently enough to feel better quickly. Additionally, patients come to appreciate other aspects of the group treatment setting. Some come regularly with spouses or other family members. Others report feeling safer and less nervous in a room where they see other clients relaxing comfortably.
Community Acupuncture Works is currently accepting new clients. If you have been considering acupuncture, we would be happy to introduce you to our comfortable community acupuncture clinic located conveniently in San Francisco’s Mission District.
Ninah K. Hofmann, M.S., L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
Ninah was drawn to acupuncture and Chinese medicine at age 17 after she received her first acupuncture treatment. She has been active in the acupuncture world since working as an assistant to an acupuncturist in Santa Rosa, CA at the age of 18. After receiving her Master of Science degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College (formerly Meiji College of Oriental Medicine) in Berkeley, California in 2004, she opened a private practice in San Francisco.
Unsatisfied with the high fee structure needed in a private practice, Ninah began research on alternatives. After reading The Remedy by Working Class Acupuncture’s Lisa Rohleder, L.Ac., things came into focus for Ninah and she opened Community Acupuncture Works in July 2008. In addition to her California state license, Ninah is board certified nationally as a Diplomate in Oriental Medicine.
When not doing her part to make the world a better place, Ninah enjoys reading, knitting, listening to music, and spending time with her loving husband and two cats, Clyde and Vera.
