OUR SHOP + PRODUCTS
How do you choose your products?
All products carried at Boketto Wellness have been chosen with your wellbeing in mind and adhere to the highest standards of containing all-natural, organic and wildcrafted ingredients. We have direct relationships with the makers behind every single brand that we carry, and can attest to the intention, thoughtfulness, and quality of each product. We like to stock products that aren't typically available on Amazon, etc., and actively seek to support underrepresented makers (BIPOC, femme, and queer) in the wellness category.
If you have specific questions or concerns about ingredients, do reach out. We’re happy to provide detailed information to ensure you receive the answers you’re looking for.
Do you sell local brands?
We do! In fact it’s something that we’re very proud of, and is at the core of our business approach in supporting independent makers that craft right here in Richmond, Virginia.
Can you help me in figuring out which products best suit my needs?
The beauty of our brick + mortar is that all of our retail specialists are well versed in our products and excited to connect with you on an individual level to better understand your priorities and needs.

You can book 24/7 online, or feel free to call our shop during store hours to speak with someone directly about making an appointment.
What your gratuity policy?
If you are a current client of ours, you might recall our including gratuity in the cost of services— however since Fall 2024 we changed this policy to a more typical “gratuity at the client’s discretion” model. We believe this offers more flexibility to both our customers and practitioners.
Note: Jelena Nikolajevic does NOT accept gratuity for Acupuncture and Functional Medicine treatments.
Finally, we are often asked what is a standard amount to tip. While 20% is typical, any gratuity is appreciated and should reflect the care and skill you received from our practitioners.
