Our Mission
Access Community Acupuncture LLC offers affordable, accessible acupuncture for all. Community Acupuncture is a dynamic approach that harnesses the power of communal healing while supporting ongoing care. Our sliding scale pricing removes financial barriers, fostering a genuine sense of community. We recognize that everyone’s financial situation is unique. Our top priority is your health and well-being, ensuring you can receive acupuncture as often as you need. You choose what fits your budget.
Sliding Scale Pay Structure
Prices: $30-$60 (Additional $10 for New Patients). You decide what you can afford.
Acupuncture is performed in group settings, providing both effective treatment and cost savings. We specialize in a style that focuses on “distal” points, addressing ailments throughout the body by placing tiny needles in your hands and feet—for instance, relieving back pain through these distant points. Our treatments are tailored to restore balance and promote natural healing. Patients relax in comfortable recliners within our spacious treatment room, frequently drifting off to sleep during their sessions, which last as long as needed.
Elina Vassilakou
Licensed Acupuncturist
Hi! My name is Elina and I recently returned to the Denver community after more than a decade of practicing in St. Petersburg, Florida. I am deeply passionate about community acupuncture and firmly believe in the healing power of the shared clinic space. My highest priorities are ensuring accessible care and achieving meaningful results for my patients.
I hold a Master of Science in Oriental Medicine from Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, Colorado. I am a Licensed Acupuncturist in both Colorado and Florida and am nationally certified as a Diplomate in Acupuncture by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Outside the treatment room, I cherish time spent with my family, friends, two dogs, and three cats. I’m also known to take the mic during karaoke—after all, my nickname is Canary. For me, therapy is found in my treatment room, in baking, and in getting lost in a great book.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
Laura Dahmer
Licensed Massage Therapist
I am thrilled to share the clinic space with my dear friend Laura Dahmer, a Licensed Massage Therapist and Body Intuitive Practitioner. I met Laura nearly 20 years ago during acupuncture school. She is a truly gifted healer, with hands that are both powerful and deeply effective.
Experience a deeply restorative therapeutic massage with Laura. She blends intuitive touch with skilled therapeutic techniques to release tension, support healing, and bring the body back into balance. Each session is tailored to your unique needs—whether you’re seeking stress relief, pain reduction, improved mobility, or simple relaxation.
This massage offers a calming, supportive environment where you can unwind, reconnect, and leave feeling lighter, refreshed, and truly cared for. Laura uses an integrative approach that is firm, soothing and efficient, listening to the body, waiting for it to allow a deeper connection.
Laura has various expertise in Indigenous spiritual healing practices including: Maya Abdominal Massage & Spiritual Healing, Therapeutic Cupping, Lymphatic Drainage, Aromatherapy Lymphatic Massage and Mayan healing modalities such as balances with water, herbs, flowers, incense, smoke and eggs.
