I’m happy to have one of Roy Green Pach’s posts on CMNotes.
Ah, I wish you could read Hebrew. If you did, you could read Roy’s great posts about Community Acupuncture on his Hebrew blog, and see how he shares what goes on in his head in such a beautiful way.
Today Roy is talking about Lisa Rohleder’s book “Acupuncture is like Noodles”. We already heard from Lisa herself, when Roy interviewed her, and now we can read and hear more from the woman who made a difference in the Chinese medicine world in the west.
Enjoy!

The concept of Community Acupuncture (CA) has been introduced to me by Roy Green Pach at the beginning of the year.
Roy wrote a wonderful article for my website in Hebrew, and the reaction to it was overwhelming. It’s amazing to me that little ol’ Israel can be a part of a great movement in real time and not in a delay of a number of years! And it’s true- we have a growing number of practitioners that practice CA, and more and more people are interested in the model, and the proof is that that particulare article was probably one of the most popular in my website.
Roy approached me and together we set up a blog for CA, all in Hebrew, and people are interested- asking questions, enjoying his thoughts- and yeah, it helps that he’s a great writer. Recently Roy interviewed Lisa Rohleder, the practitioner from Portland who started it all, for his blog. Lisa felt she needed a change, as you will soon read, and she made that change: She started out with 12 patients back in 2002, and experimented a lot with the model she created.
Years later, Lisa is now seeing about 400 patients a week, charging about $15-$40 per treatment, and along with her husband Skip, she has one of the biggest clinics in the USA. I thought that it would be wonderful if that interview would be posted on CMNotes as well, as I know that CA is gaining more and more popularity around the world. I also think it’s important to let practitioners know that they have an option. Things can be different for them. Things are changing in our world, including marketing strategies and our clinics and how we run them are no exception. So I’m really happy to be part of this spirit of change, and I hope that it will strike a chord with you too! Enjoy.

As we finish school, something inside us is eager to start treating people.
I remember I felt I just had to start using all my knowledge, it felt as though I will burst if I won’t start treating people.
But there are things we need to do:
1. Find a clinic: some practitioners have a room in their home that is their clinic. Others rent a room in an active clinic. Either way- you need that place that is all about healing people.
