Outer Cape
Community Acupuncture

About Us

OCCA provides community acupuncture. This means that you will receive your treatment in a large, quiet, comfortable room, sitting in a recliner. You do not need to disrobe, you just need to roll your sleeves up to your elbows and your pants up to your knees. You and your acupuncturist will speak briefly in whispers before you get treated. You can stay as long as you want, and (last but not least) there will be other people getting treated at the same time, in the same room, in the same way.

We love community acupuncture because it makes it easy for people to get treatments whenever they want, to be treated with their families and friends, to feel comfortable rather than isolated, and to create together a collective energetic field which makes the individual treatments more powerful and clinically effective.

Jennifer DiMeo

OCCA was founded by Shoba Satya, Lic. Ac., who now practices in Washington state at Nurturing Health Acupuncture. Before she left, Shoba carefully placed OCCA into the hands of Jennifer M. DiMeo, D.C., Lic. Ac., who has a master's degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in New York and National Certification in Acupuncture (NCCAOM). While in school, Jennifer completed her externship at Saint Vincent's Hospital Outpatient HIV center. In 2002, Jennifer received her doctorate of chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College, and had a private practice in New York City for seven years. Jennifer is also a trained CranioSacral therapist. In 2009, Jennifer moved to Provincetown with her partner, and is honored that Shoba selected her to continue bringing quality, affordable acupuncture to the Outer Cape.
