What are the responsibilities and job description for the Licensed Acupuncturist position at Root Whole Body?
You’re a perpetual student in this journey called life. Always learning. Always improving. Never settling. You take pride in your work and are dedicated to your craft. You use your magic for good; healing the world one body, one person at a time. If you have the opportunity to change a life today, you will. You believe in the power of natural medicine – and you view health holistically – physically, mentally, emotionally. You are honored and humbled that someone may put their health and wellness in your hands, and you honor that trust graciously. You (or your inner circles) may have experienced a health challenge in the past, which makes you even more caring and empathetic to those who walk through our doors. You’re a high-touch warrior in a high-tech world that needs you more than ever. If you resonate with our mission of bringing life-affirming health care to all, we are looking for the right healers in naturopathic, acupuncture, nutrition and mental health to join our cause. Please drop us a line and let’s start a conversation. Thank you for your attention and resume healing the world.
