A licensed acupuncturist needed a treatment room two to three days a week in the city without a 12-month lease. She found a shared wellness space in the Mission District on SubMed that offered existing tables, shared reception, and month-to-month terms. Within six months she had a full book on her days and later added a second sublet in Noe Valley to expand her reach.
The situation
A licensed acupuncturist was ready to build her own practice in San Francisco, but only needed a treatment room two to three days a week. Every space she found came with a twelve-month lease — a full-time commitment for a part-time schedule, before she had the patients to support it.
What she did
On SubMed she found a shared wellness space in the Mission District that matched how she wanted to work: treatment tables already in place, a shared reception covering the front desk, and month-to-month terms. She could start on her two days and adjust as the practice grew.
The result
Within six months she had a full book on her days in the Mission. Instead of taking on a larger lease, she added a second sublet in Noe Valley, extending her reach across the city while keeping the same flexible, month-to-month footing.
