Driftless Healing Arts

Also known as: Driftless Healing Arts — Rebeca Ratté

An acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic in the renovated Hotel Fortney in downtown Viroqua, Wisconsin, run by Rebeca Ratté, L.Ac (licensed in Wisconsin and Minnesota). Treats anxiety, depression, stress, digestion, headaches, pain/injury, PTSD, chronic disease, fertility, and women's/men's health using acupuncture, electric stimulation, acupressure, and Tui Na medical massage. Once-monthly sliding-scale clinic ($30–55 new patients) keeps the practice accessible across the Driftless's small-farm economy.

What they do

Acupuncture tailored to individual conditions — anxiety, depression, stress, digestion, headaches, pain/injury, PTSD, chronic disease, fertility, women’s and men’s health, immune support — plus complementary modalities (electric stimulation, acupressure, Tui Na medical massage). The clinic is women-owned, wheelchair-accessible, and runs a once-monthly sliding-scale day at $30–55 for new patients.

Why it’s listed

Two structural commitments make this a directory-relevant clinic, not just a working acupuncture practice:

  1. Sliding-scale access in a small-farm economy. Most rural acupuncturists either price for the wellness-tourism market or struggle for sustainability. A monthly sliding-scale clinic in a town like [[viroqua|Viroqua]] (population ~4,400, surrounded by small organic farms with thin margins) is the kind of access commitment that ties medicine to community.

  2. Two-state licensing. Licensed in [[viroqua|Wisconsin]] and [[duluth|Minnesota]] — the practical recognition that the Driftless is a multi-state bioregion and that practitioners need to serve across the river.

The Hotel Fortney location is itself meaningful: the historic 1898 hotel, beautifully renovated in the 2010s, is one of the keystone restorations in [[viroqua|Viroqua]]‘s downtown revival.

Bioregional fit

Anchors the [[viroqua]] / Wisconsin-Driftless TCM slot. Pairs with [[the-iowan-apothecary]] (Adrian White, Elkader IA) and [[drift-strength-yoga-center]] (Decorah IA) for the bioregion’s three-anchor knowledge-care cluster across two states.
