Associate Acupuncturist

Focus on Healing, Not Overhead.

Are you a new or recent graduate ready to launch your career, but dread the idea of managing a business, battling insurance billing, and marketing yourself from scratch?

Pivot Acupuncture & Integrative Health is looking for the next key member of our team. We are a fast-growing, woman-color-owned clinic where the patient schedule is busy, the energy is high, and the support is genuine. We believe that you should be free to do what you do best: treat patients.

This is an opportunity to step into a busy clinic environment with immediate patient flow, receive 1-on-1 mentorship, and work alongside a close-knit team that genuinely roots for your success.

About Us

Pivot Acupuncture was originally established in Vallejo, Ca in 2018. To support our growing patient base, we moved to our current location in Fairfield two years ago (centrally located 40 mins from Oakland and 45 mins from Sacramento). We are an integrative clinic specializing in Orthopedics, Neurological Conditions and Women's Health/Fertility Support.

Our staff includes Dr. Shawne, two massage therapists, an incredible office manager, and three medical assistants. We cultivate a healing environment not just for our patients, but for our staff. We value laughter, collaboration, and professional growth.

Why You'll Love Working Here

• Mentorship: Dr. Shawne brings extensive years of study and a wealth of clinical knowledge to the practice. You won't be "thrown to the wolves"—instead, you will be trained in her proven, time-tested treatment protocols. This mentorship ensures consistency of care for our patients while allowing you to absorb years of experience and fast-track your own clinical success.
• Meaningful Work: We serve a lovely, incredibly diverse community of patients. Many of the people we treat are brand new to Chinese Medicine and holistic health. You will have the unique privilege of introducing them to this medicine, which makes the work we do here deeply fulfilling.
• Zero Admin Burden: Our amazing front desk team handles all scheduling, billing, credentialing, and administrative tasks. You just show up and treat.
• Growth Potential: We are looking for someone to start 2-3 days a week with a clear desire to build into a full-time clinician.
