Union Wellness
Vickie Summerquist and Roxane Geller

Bastyr Graduates and good friends, Roxane Geller MS EAMP LMT and Vickie Summerquist MS EAMP LMT MPH, founded Union Wellness in 2007 to provide comprehensive holistic care to their community. They each bring 20 years of experience in the field. Together, with the other practitioners of Union Wellness, they provide acupuncture, wellness planning, herbal medicine, massage and other therapies that are tailored to the needs and story of each individual who comes to the center. The founders and practitioners acknowledge that the land in which the clinic sits is originally indigenous land, the territory of the Coast Salish people, specifically the Duwamish. They are grateful to be able to serve the community in this space.

Our cozy neighborhood clinic is on several buslines and has street parking available.

Doe Bay Washington Rest and Relax Retreat:
Rest and Restore at our Spring Retreat in Doe Bay Washington 2024

For many of us, it has been a challenging time with the weight of the world. The stressors of life keep us from finding space to fully let go, to feel safe, to be curious, to connect more deeply within and together, to let our hearts break and to feel joyfully alive.

  • Feel held in heart-centered, calming, restorative and healing practices.
  • Soak in the outdoor pools, sit in the sauna, hike, explore with the trees, water, land.
  • Connect in spiritual community while also taking time for yourself.
  • Enjoy nourishing food.

    The Rest and Restore Spring Retreat offers an opportunity to sink into a supportive and non-judgmental space with others who are called to connect with the inner feminine energy within themselves.

    Through gently guided practice and ritual, we explore the wisdom within us. We warmly invite cis & trans women, as well as non-binary humans who want to connect with their inner wisdom.

Summer at Union Wellness







We miss you and we hope you are staying safe and healthy. Please read below for information on In Office Visits, Existing Appointments, and Virtual Appointments.

We are open with limited hours:
Contact us immediately via email at info@unioncenterforhealing.com, for an appointment if you are experiencing significant physical, mental or emotional distress. We will have limited availability for the next few weeks but are seeing some of our patients in need.

If delaying treatment with us would likely lead to you using another clinic or facility (like urgent care or ER), contact us immediately.
Stay home if:
If you are at high risk for complications from COVID, have any respiratory symptoms, may have had recent exposure to COVID or can delay treatment, we ask that you not make an appt at this time. Most of all, we want to thank all of you for doing your part to keep us all safe. We are in this together!

Protocols for safety:
We have implemented safety protocols for sanitization including extensive use of sanitizers, plastic covers on the tables and face cradles, and will be staggering patients and providers to limit the contact between people. At this time we will only be seeing one patient in a room every three hours. We will prescreen for fever and any respiratory symptom.

For now, we are discontinuing heavy contact treatment such as massage, cosmetic acupuncture and cranial sacral because we do not want to use PPE that is in short supply.

Virtual Services:
We are now seeing patients virtually to help keep connected with you all and serve our community. Please see unioncenterforhealing.fullslate.com for a list of our virtual services. If you need herbs, supplements, want to know how to keep your immune system strong, help mitigate cold/flu/Covid, or continue with your usual care, we can provide this via telemedicine. We are also offering one-on-one Meditation/Mindfulness session, 5 Element consultations and Energy Medicine.

Free Wellness Seminars
While in quarantine, we are offering free weekly seminars. They will be posted on Facebook, Instagram and on Fullslate.

We are also starting free wellness seminars. They will be posted on Facebook, Instagram and on Fullslate.
