Port Townsend Acupuncture Services

This is acupuncture that bridges the ancient with the innovative. I draw upon a rich lineage of healing traditions—from the foundational principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine to the highly effective Master Tung and Richard Tan methods.

The heart of my work is a unique needle technique I developed that goes beyond the meridians. I listen for and connect with the craniosacral rhythm and the body’s own electromagnetic energy as it flows through the myofascial systemic web.

This creates a gentle yet powerful conversation with your body, helping to release deep-seated tension and restore harmony on a foundational level. This allows for a more comprehensive treatment that targets symptoms at their source, promoting deep, lasting healing.

Many years ago, I was Janet’s first paying acupuncture patient. I appreciated her considered approach in taking her time to really listen to my health concerns in order to affect the core of my underlying conditions. I found her to be caring, supportive, and highly skillful in my care.

Janet Culp and I have been friends for 45 years. I was there when she worked for her college education, garnering top academic marks and soon after when she gained her California acupuncture license. When she moved to Port Townsend years later, I kept informed about her continued and rigorous studies for obtaining her Washington state acupuncture license. She is certainly persistent in achieving her goals. This is all to say that Janet is a capable and knowledgeable acupuncture and cranio-sacral practitioner. As a practitioner, she is a good listener and insightful in her understanding of underlying conditions. She has a wide breadth of knowledge with her years of experience and looks deeply for information to support her clients in their healing needs. I really enjoyed her sensitive use of hands in cranio-sacral work and I’ve also benefited from nutrition, herbal and essential oil consultations with her over the years. Her individualized plan of care is noteworthy, in which she works across modalities within mainstream and alternative methods for client wellbeing. Inani Eggleston

As an Acupuncturist for 2 decades I have had many acupuncture treatments from different practitioners and there is a wide range of skill and experience. I was out of town and needed treatment and went to see Janet based on recommendations. The treatment I got was so good that I made plans to get more treatment even as it was a far journey to Port Townsend from my place. Definitely, if you are seeking a great therapist Janet is one I can recommend- and I am an Acupuncturist myself.

Jan helped me reduce some chronic pain I’ve been experiencing over the last several months. She is a warm, gentle, and smart practitioner. I’m too blessed to be stressed after seeing my acupuncturist Jan. 😊

Janet Culp is an incredibly gifted Healer. With her combined use of Acupuncture and Cranial Therapy she is unparalleled. I doubt that there are much more than a hundred or so manual therapist in the country who can equal her skills. S. Wright, N.D., Cert. Adv. Rolfer, Adv. Cranial Therapist

I highly recommend Janet Culp, LAc. She is far more than an acupuncturist and craniosacral therapist. Ms. Culp's wholistic approach to healing is comprehensive and sensitive.

Janet Culp has been awesome. She fully cured a bout of sciatica for my 101 year old buddy, which I considered to be an absolute miracle. Janet has also been very effective with a number of other treatments for me. Highly recommended..!

I highly recommend Janet for acupuncture and pain management. After just a few sessions, she eliminated my chronic neck and shoulder pain. Janet is skilled, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her patients' well-being. If you're looking for effective pain relief through acupuncture, Janet is the best choice!
