Paolo Flores Chico, L.Ac.

Hello it’s been a wild week bruh. Moving out of my house, election news swirls, corona, taxes, and the everyday ups and downs of grief and gratitude. I have been slowly saying goodbye to patients and preparing to close shop for a bit. Some patients I have been seeing for 4 plus years and some just the last 4 weeks. If your feeling inspired, I expanded my hours my last two weeks and have some sessions open if you want to pop in. Some sliding scale spots available too. How are you? Taking breaks from work and the news? Making time for friends and food? ...Well in clinic I have been treating a lot of shoulder pain, back pain, allergies, stress, overthinking, anxiety, digestive support, immunity support, and broken hearts. Link in bio to book or Dm me. Be wellPaolo

Last night Herbs for Heartbreak & Grief class was a success! We learned about some of my fave herbs like rose, holy basil, ashwagandha, milky oats and so much more. We talked tinctures, flower essences, boundaries, and even got to talking about brain pathways for heartbreak, falling in and out of love, and all the weird science behind our achey desire for that dopamine hit. Anywayssss thank you all that came last night. If you missed it don’t worry, Stascha is returning for a...m Herbs for Spring class. She will get into helpful herbs for allergies, detox, digestive issues and more! She is a knowledgeable resource and we are excited for her return. Dm me to sign up! Herbs for spring class: Tuesday, February 25th. 7pm $25-35 sliding scale, dm if you can not afford.

Hello . Happy 2020 and Lunar New Year. Wishing everyone an abundant year of the Rat. I have some exciting and bittersweet news to share. After 5 amazing years of my Oakland, CA based private practice and community events, I have decided to take a sabbatical. I know I know. WHOA! I love Oakland, my job, my friends, and family here. As my 39th birthday approaches, I am finding more and more reasons to take a break from the Bay Area. I will be spending some time focusing on cr...eative projects in the desert then off to Japan and Asia. My last day in the office will be Monday, March 16th. This is not goodbye- I would really love to keep in touch. The Bay Area is my home and I have deep ties to community and family here. I plan on coming back to town very often and hosting acupuncture events and pop up clinics for everyone. If you would like to keep in touch and added to the email list, please let me know. Words cannot describe how much I have learned and grown as a person and practitioner with y’all. For all those I’ve had the pleasure and privilege to give acupuncture to - whether my private practice or a community event- Thank you. Deep gratitude and love for all that I have learned from you. Your trust and support for my practice is not taken lightly. If you haven’t seen me in a while and want to book a session, please do- would love to see you. With love, Paolo . . pic inspired business name by @elijah_chaim / Bio pic taken in 2014 right before I started my practice. by @finlee_exists - p.s.

Good Morning- I don’t know about you, but I have been hibernating hard this past winter. This week the sun and flowers have been making cameos all over town and it’s giving me all the feelings if you are ready and looking for a little Aries season turn up AND you want to support For the Love Acupuncture & Sound- look no further. For the Love is the beneficiary for queer dance party Ships in The Night, Saturday April 6th at The Complex in downtown Oakland. If you are f...eeling extra supportive, I am in need of a few door volunteers for the 10:30pm-12am shift and the 12am-1:30am shift. This 1.5 hour shift would be extremely helpful in supporting accessible QTPOC acupuncture and sound healing events and continue to pay QTPOC healers and artists well. DM or comment below if you can help out! Would appreciate this deeply!!!! There will be a special pole performance by the brilliant @meowdown at midnight and a Teenage Dreams takeover room with two of my faves @djbrownamy and The Creatrix. It will be fun and sweet and my first return since my retirement last year! See more
