Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the world’s oldest healing traditions and has a powerful ability to heal both body and mind. Human trafficking is a terrifying and horrific experience that affects survivors for the rest of their lives. Our acupuncturists work to help survivors release these old traumas and move forward. We work to relieve anxiety, PTSD, and insomnia as well as any physical pain to set the survivor on her way to healthy future.
Chiropractic
Along with acupuncture, chiropractic is a holistic and natural way to help the body heal from pain. Trafficking victims are exposed to a wide variety of environments and situations. Pain and emotional issues are therefore some of their biggest hurdles once they find freedom. Chiropractic adjustments help our survivors to regain their health and strength.
Massage
Massage provides a relaxing and safe environment for survivors to release their stress and heal from pain. Physical pain and injuries can be greatly improved with massage therapy, as well as the emotional pain that survivors harbor. After a traumatic experience, finding a safe place to experience the healing powers of touch is an important step in regaining your balance and place in the world.
COMMUNITY-STYLE
WELLNESS EVENTS
Coming Soon
In addition to the scholarship program, the Pain Free Project offers pop-up community clinics to small groups of survivors at various safe houses throughout San Diego. Here, we are able to reach a group of women and help them find healing in a relaxed, friendly, community-based environment. We are always in need of supplies, so please contact us if you are able to help out!
WHY HOLISTIC MEDICINE?
Not only are holistic therapies a great resource for treating any kind of pain or emotional struggle, but holistic health care practitioners have a deep understanding of the connection between mind, body, and spirit. When working with victims of sex trafficking, this understanding is crucial to helping the survivor find true and lasting healing. We believe that the patient-practitioner relationship is part of the healing process and know that ongoing, regular care is essential for the long-term healing of trauma.
