About ORA
ORA was born from the transformative healing story of our founder, Kimberly Ross, who found healing in acupuncture amidst her journeys with gut and digestive issues, fertility, and the quest for serenity amidst anxiety and stress. In creating ORA, our aim has been to illuminate the genuine power of acupuncture, showcasing its remarkable ability to touch and heal mind, body and spirit.
Who We Are
Since 2020, ORA Space has been a tranquil retreat, upholding and honoring the ancient practice of acupuncture. We offer a spa-like environment that nurtures healing and rejuvenation, while allowing our guests to connect with the deep, restorative powers of age-old practices, thoughtfully integrated into the rhythm of modern life.
