Personalized Women’s Health Care in Shelburne, VT
Hi, I’m Arden. I help women navigate perimenopause and menopause using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine.
I also work with a wide variety of women’s health concerns, including fertility issues, pregnancy, postpartum, and chronic stress or anxiety.
At Songbird Acupuncture, you’ll find an emphasis on collaboration, curiosity, and acceptance.
I do this work because I’ve been there! I understand the stress that huge body and mind changes can bring.
Sometimes (especially in midlife) you just don’t feel like yourself anymore. Sometimes you feel like your body is working against you at the time you need it most. And sometimes you get lost in the weeds of too many options and too much confusing advice.
My goal is to offer personalized, effective women's health care that helps you find health and resilience in body and mind. I’d love to meet you if you’re hoping to:
Get through perimenopause and menopause with more ease and less GRRRRR
Find holistic solutions and support for fertility issues
Navigate pregnancy and postpartum with comfort and good health for you and your baby
Feel more calm and resilient, rather than always stressed, frustrated, and anxious
My clinic is conveniently located in Shelburne, Vermont, right off Route 7. I work with people in Chittenden County, Vermont, including Burlington, South Burlington, Charlotte, Colchester, Essex, Hinesburg, Shelburne, and Winooski.

My Approach to Women’s Health
Collaboration & Community
I believe that compassion and teamwork have the power to unblock stuck patterns. At my clinic you’ll find a listening ear and a willingness to meet you where you are. Together, we’ll get curious about what’s causing your symptoms and the best way to resolve them.
I suggest changes that I believe will help you feel better faster, but it’s important those changes feel realistic for you.
And in times like these, we need even more community. Coming soon, I’ll be launching support groups for women in midlife: a place to find connection and validation.
Evidence-Based Care
I was raised in a family of scientists, and strive to offer health care grounded in evidence. Chinese medicine is an ancient practice rooted in the natural world that has surprising parallels to western medicine.
I believe that many tools are valuable. I will never insist that you discontinue medications or go against your doctor’s advice.
(Do I also believe there are things we don’t yet know, or have a way to explain? Yes! But the unknown is part of science too.)

Acupuncture is powerful and can help with many things, but these are my main clinical focuses.
Perimenopause and menopause
Menopause can be make you feel like you’re not yourself, and that’s often scary and upsetting. I’ve been there! But even when midlife brings big physical and emotional changes, it doesn’t have to mean suffering.
If you’re experiencing hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, fatigue, brain fog, or other symptoms, I can help.
Fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum
Struggling to get pregnant? Already pregnant and looking for experienced, safe treatment for common pregnancy issues? Or maybe you recently had a baby and are feeling depleted and unbalanced?
Growing and caring for a new human being is hard work. Sometimes you need care too.
Stress, anxiety, and trauma
These days, the majority of people I meet are experiencing some form of chronic stress, anxiety, or emotional difficulty. It’s a hard world, and many of us don’t get the resources we need to nourish our mental health. Acupuncture and herbal medicine work to gently regulate your nervous system so you can cope more easily with whatever life brings.
