Five Point Holistic Health

What Five Point Holistic Health does

Five Point Holistic Health is a worker-owned health cooperative clinic founded in 2014 and headquartered in Logan Square / Avondale, Chicago. The clinic delivers an integrated portfolio of holistic health services including Community Acupuncture ($60 per treatment in group setting), Private Acupuncture ($105+ per session including cupping, moxibustion, e-stimulation), Chinese Herbal Medicine, Cupping, multiple Massage and Bodywork modalities (Swedish, Craniosacral, Trauma-Informed, Myofascial Release, Shiatsu), and Psychotherapy. The clinic runs seven days a week with weekday hours of 1pm-8pm and weekend hours of 9:30am-4:30pm, and uses JaneApp for online booking, package sales, and gift cards. Insurance direct billing is available for in-network BCBS PPO, United, and Aetna for private acupuncture and psychotherapy. The company has 7 member-owners and 11-50 total staff including acupuncturists, massage therapists, psychotherapists, bodyworkers, and front-desk administrators.

The business model combines per-treatment clinical fees (a 5-treatment package earns a 10% discount), tiered sliding scale pricing (Reduced/Standard/Supportive), walk-in community acupuncture, and ancillary revenue from apothecary product sales (herbal blends, sprays, moxa packs) and event space rentals. Five Point is differentiated by its worker-cooperative governance model, NADA protocol-based community acupuncture rooted in POCA-informed practice, and explicit positioning around BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and working-class accessibility. The clinic operates from a single facility at 2866 N Milwaukee Ave — more than double the size of its prior 3234 W Fullerton location, which opened in April 2023 — and is currently undergoing a $2M+ grant-funded building improvement project (ADA wheelchair lift, new HVAC, two new treatment rooms, expanded class/workshop space) with construction scheduled through early 2027.

Marketing is community-centered, relying on an email newsletter, blog content, Instagram, community partnerships, and on-site workshops and events. The company has raised no equity capital; funding sources are the City of Chicago Wealth Our Way grant (administered by Community Desk Chicago, awarded November 2025) and legacy SBA COVID-19 EIDL debt. The company is privately held, Illinois-based, and currently operating during the construction phase.

Direct peers

• Working Class Acupuncture: A POCA-affiliated community acupuncture clinic in Portland, Oregon. Highly comparable as a worker-cooperative-style community acupuncture model serving working-class patients with sliding-scale pricing.
• Chicago Community Acupuncture: A community acupuncture clinic in Chicago offering affordable group acupuncture on a sliding scale. Operates in the same city with the same POCA-influenced community model and pricing structure, making it the closest direct comparable.
• Aligned Modern Health: Chicago-area multi-modality clinic combining acupuncture, chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage. Comparable as a holistic, multi-practitioner clinic serving the same metropolitan market with overlapping service lines.

Broad incumbents

• Elements Massage: National therapeutic massage franchise focused on customized, session-based bodywork. Comparable for bodywork positioning and consumer pricing approach, but lacks acupuncture and integrated holistic medicine.
• Massage Green Spa: National massage and wellness chain offering affordable massage and spa services. Comparable in product category (massage, wellness, walk-in availability) but operates at chain scale and lacks acupuncture/holistic medicine integration.
• Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa: National massage and facial spa franchise with walk-in and membership pricing. Relevant as a comparable spa/wellness retail model, though without acupuncture or alternative medicine services.
• Massage Envy: Largest U.S. franchise of membership-based massage and skin-care services. Competes for the same massage/wellness consumer wallet but at much larger scale and with corporate ownership rather than cooperative structure.

Others

• People's Organization of Community Acupuncture (POCA): National co-op organization and membership body that inspired Five Point's community acupuncture model. Relevant as the ecosystem network providing training, vendor relationships, and patient referral infrastructure for POCA-affiliated clinics.
• Northwestern Medicine Osher Center for Integrative Health: Chicago-based academic integrative health center combining conventional and complementary therapies including acupuncture and massage. Relevant as a Chicago-area integrative-medicity peer validating the broader category, though operating at academic/institutional scale.
• Pacific College of Health and Life Sciences: The acupuncture and Chinese medicine school whose graduate students founded Five Point in 2014. An ecosystem participant that supplies the practitioner talent pipeline and shares the institution's integrative-medicine philosophy.
