Our Story

A green sign reads Sloth Around Community Acupuncture.  In the center of the sign is a drawing of a three toed sloth hanging from an acupuncture needle.  The sloth holds an orange hibiscus flower in its right hand.  The sign has rain drops on it, and is nailed to three horizontal wooden boards.
We are a locally-owned, family-run clinic.  We know that communities are naturally sources of strength, healing, and resiliency, and we look forward to sharing our community space with you.   
We have been serving the communities of White Center, South Park, Burien, Georgetown, Tukwila, Renton, Sea-Tac and Des Moines since 2016.  With over two decades of combined experience treating patients, we are here to support you on your journey towards your greatest health possible.

Lynn Bondi, EAMP
Pronouns: she/her
​Language(s): English
​Lynn has had her fair share of bumps and bruises throughout her life. In the process of her recovery, acupuncture became, and continues to be, a main staple for relieving her symptoms. Her experience as a patient, as well as her intuitive sense that we are all connected, led her to seek out a career in Chinese Medicine. Having earned her master’s in Chinese Medicine at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco, CA in 2002, she has more than twenty years of diverse experience in the field, working with a vast array of conditions. As of 2010, she entered the realm of community acupuncture and has not looked back.  Lynn has worked at three Community Clinics located in Baltimore, Washington, DC, and Seattle, before opening her own clinic.

​Prior to her acupuncture career, Lynn studied kinesiology and exercise physiology at the University of Michigan, and also received her bachelor's degree in therapeutic recreation.  She worked for years as a sports trainer,  physical therapy assistant, ophthalmic technician, and later as a massage therapist. Speckled between these endeavors, she took great delight in working with developmentally disabled adults as a job and life coach. 
Lynn believes that a social justice perspective should be the starting point for all that we do, and that different outcomes are possible when we use social justice as our origin point. She currently bases her practice within the community acupuncture model, a positive expression of her strong values of affordability and accessibility in healthcare. She is a great believer in holistic medicine and her experience has shown that when we are supported with healthy alternatives, we have the ability to make great strides in our lives. Fostering individual health can ultimately help cultivate healthy communities.​

When not poking people with needles, Lynn enjoys living life just as it is with her incredible partner and emotionally complex doggie.  She also loves playing her guitar, eating yummy food, tinkering with things and exploring the outdoors.

Today was my first appointment at Sloth Around, and it was fantastic.  I can’t wait for my next treatment.  Their sliding scale makes it simple to be able to experience the relief acupuncture can bring.
