Opening Spring 2026

Welcome! We are looking for a physical location for our clinic.

Our booking calendar is open starting April, 2026 with the hope that we will have found a location by then. We did this because we want you to be able to see what booking will look like. However, we can’t guarantee we’ll be open by then. Email us with any questions, thoughts, or resources you have.


How to Book

NEW PATIENTS - Select “Community Acupuncture FIRST VISIT” - This will trigger an email with the First Visit ‘paperwork’ that you’ll need to fill out.

For return visits select the amount you want to pay (eg “$30 Community Acupuncture RETURN VISIT”, “$35 Community Acupuncture RETURN VISIT” etc.) and the date/time.

Get ready for your community acupuncture experience…

APPOINTMENT LENGTH: Plan on one hour. “Check-in” & needling take about 10 minutes. You will rest with the needles for longer, up to ~50 minutes. *If you are more comfortable with or require a shorter amount of time that is fine! A minimum of ~30 minutes in recommended.

PREPARE FOR TREATMENT: Plan what you want tell our practitioners. Have a snack, wear loose fitting clothing, and arrive a few minutes early so you can settle in BY your appointment time.

Pay It Forward Program…

If you are able to pay more than $30, consider booking your return visits at $30 and then contributing to our Pay It Forward program by purchasing a ‘gift card’ for any amount from your online patient portal. This surplus will then be used for other community members facing financial hardship. To receive assistance from our Pay It Forward program, email us at info@casobu.org or speak with your practitioner at your next appointment. NOTE: Gift cards are not currently available for purchase outside the Pay It Forward program. We hope to update this and make them available for general purchase soon.

Community Acupuncture

Community acupuncture is done in a group setting in order to improve accessibility and affordability. Recipients sit in reclining chairs in loose clothing (rolled up to the knees and elbows) and receive acupuncture only on the legs, arms, and head.

Community acupuncture is done in a group setting in order to improve accessibility and affordability. Recipients sit in reclining chairs in loose clothing (rolled up to the knees and elbows) and receive acupuncture only on the legs, arms, and head. For centuries these so-called ‘distal’ points (acu-points on the head, arms and legs) have been used to treat all the same ailments as points located on the torso. For instance, we can treat back pain with acupoints on the hands, or neck pain with acupoints on the feet.

Like any other medicine, acupuncture only works if you can afford to get it on a regular basis and treating in a group allows practitioners to keep our rates lower. We believe there is a group healing effect that happens when we receive treatment in this kind of group setting.

###**How to choose payment amount**
On our booking page, appointments are listed by price (from $30 - $65) in $5 increments. Select the appointment with the dollar amount you want to pay.

NEW PATIENTS Please select "Community Acupuncture FIRST VISIT".
VETERANS Please choose “$20 VETERAN Community Acupuncture” for first and returning appointments.

Bio

Growing up in Marlboro, VT, the natural world has always been a source of strength and place of healing and refuge. Eating veggies and fruit from mom’s garden, fish and venison from dad’s hunting, and feeling the warmth and care from my Babcia’s (grandmother’s) hands on my upset tummy, all led me to becoming a healer.

Outside of the office I enjoy books, film and television, gardening, having fun playing and cuddling with my kitties, and exploring our gorgeous Green Mountain state with my mom.

Philosophy

There is no ‘right’ way to live a healthy life. Achieving our health goals and living our best life requires a multifaceted approach and an open mind. Both Western and Eastern medicine, as well as spiritual and psycho-emotional practices, all support us in our path to wellness.

Experience

I have spent the last 25 years in direct patient care as an herbalist, massage practitioner, acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner.

After living in California for 14 years, during which I recieved my master’s in acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and spent 11 years providing care in the SF Bay area, I returned to my roots, here in VT to care for and enjoy my mom’s twilight years and frolic in these rolling Green Mountains with my mom.

Education & Credentials: Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College Berkeley, CA (2008-2012).

Vermont acupuncture license - 091.0134060 NCCAOM certification - 152653
