At Alitheia Healing, we believe that true wellness is rooted not only in the balance within ourselves but also in the balance we maintain with the world around us. Environmental awareness is woven into our practice, recognizing that the health of our bodies is deeply connected to the health of the ecosystems we inhabit. Just as we work to harmonize the body’s internal systems, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and supporting sustainable choices that honor both individual and planetary well-being. While we are ever striving to limit our environmental foot print, we pride ourselves in these ongoing efforts within the office.
Clothing-Friendly Treatments: We encourage clients to wear loose-fitting clothing to sessions which helps to reduce the need for extra draping materials during treatment.
Minimal Sheet Use: We strive to limit treatment table linens while maintaining a clean and safe environment, helping to significantly reduce water and energy use. In the past 2 years alone we have cut back on about half our launder needs simply by providing full sheet sets only when required for treatment draping.
Shared Laundry Service: We partner with two other businesses in the Realize Suite to share a laundry service, reducing vehicle emissions and supporting a local company.
Clean Herbal Medicine: Our herbal products are made and third-party tested in the U.S. to ensure purity, low toxicity, and minimal environmental impact. We strive to provide options for both TCM herbal and Western Herbal intervention, all sources as sustainable and organic as possible. Most of our TCM Herbs are purchased in bulk, sold as needed, and packaged for the client in biodegradeable cellulose bags.
Nutitional Awareness: When applicable, we strive to provide nutirtional suggestions to encourage and empower one’s healing from the kitchen. We always recommend local and organic food options when applicable.
Office Equipment & Acupuncture Supplies: While we are an office still using paper charts, we purchase the highest possible post-consumer waste products available. We strive to maintain local purchase of office supplies. Acupuncture Equipments is purchased in bulk and with awareness to limit ‘acu-trash’ as much as possible. As of 2025, we utilize rechargeable batteries in the office.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning: We use reusable, biodegradable detergents and natural cleaning products whenever possible.
Energy Awareness: We power down lights and electronics at the end of the day to conserve energy and reduce the load on local power resources.
Mindful Waste Practices: We consolidate all trash into a single bag to limit plastic bag use, reducing waste. We also recycle materials appropriately whenever possible.
Local Service Providers: We work with local phone and internet providers to keep our business connected to the local economy.
Eco-Conscious Location: Our centrally located office makes it easy for many clients to walk, bike, or use public transit for their visits.
