Acupuncture Near Arcadia and Midtown Phoenix: What to Expect at Mount Sunny

If you've been searching for acupuncture near Arcadia, the Biltmore corridor, or Midtown Phoenix — Mount Sunny is at 826 N Central Ave, which puts us within a few minutes of all three.

We're a small clinic, intentionally. Four treatment rooms, a tight team of licensed practitioners, and an approach to care that goes a little deeper than the standard in/out model. Here's what to expect if you're new.

Where we are

826 N Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004 — in Midtown, just south of McDowell. If you're coming from Arcadia, you're about 10 minutes east. From the Biltmore corridor, 10 minutes northwest. From Downtown, 5 minutes north.

There's parking in the lot directly adjacent to the building.

What we offer

At Mount Sunny, we practice Five Element Acupuncture — an approach that looks at the whole person rather than treating symptoms in isolation. What's presenting on the surface (the pain, the sleep problem, the digestive issue) is treated in the context of the whole system underneath it.

Services we offer:

Acupuncture — for pain, sleep, stress, digestion, hormonal health, fertility, and general wellbeing. New patient appointments are 90 minutes.

Cupping and bodywork — typically integrated with acupuncture rather than standalone. Our practitioners use glass and silicone cups depending on the presentation.

Facial acupuncture + aesthetics — including holistic microneedling, myofascial facelift massage, and lymphatic facial work. First sessions are 120 minutes.

Lymphatic drainage — using the Dr. Vodder manual method.

Shirodhara and Ayurvedic bodywork — warm oil treatments including Abhyanga, Marma therapy, and the deeply settling Shirodhara (the warm oil poured continuously to the forehead that people ask about most).

Massage therapy — Swedish, prenatal, and therapeutic massage with Connie Bernal, LMT.

What a first visit looks like

New patient appointments begin with a full intake — not just your chief complaint, but your whole health picture. Sleep, digestion, energy, stress, your history. This context shapes everything about how we treat you.

From there, your first treatment is built to match what you've described. Most people notice something in the first session — a quality of settling, a release of tension they'd stopped noticing. The cumulative effects build from there.

The online shop

Alongside the clinic, we have a house line of herbal tinctures — five formulas (Peace, Rest, Belly, Protect, Flow) formulated by Dr. Shelby Ramirez, DACM. They're available online and in the clinic. Many patients use them between sessions to maintain the work.

We also carry a curated wellness shop called Big Sun — skincare, body tools, adaptogens, teas, and the Everywhere Collection of at-home self-care tools.

Ready to book?

New patient appointments are available online. If you're not sure which service is right for you, book a standard acupuncture appointment — your practitioner will help you figure out the rest from there.
