Arden Yingling acupuncturist in grass

Hi, I’m Arden.

I help women navigate fertility issues, pregnancy and postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. At Songbird Acupuncture, you’ll find an emphasis on collaboration, curiosity, and acceptance.

I do this work because I’ve been there myself! I understand the stress and anxiety (and sometimes trauma) that reproductive challenges can bring. My goal is to offer personalized, effective care that helps you find health and resilience in body and mind.

If you’re looking for physical and emotional support with these big life transitions, I’d love to meet you.

My clinic is conveniently located in Shelburne, right off Route 7. I work with people in Chittenden County, Vermont, including Burlington, South Burlington, Charlotte, Colchester, Essex, Hinesburg, Shelburne, and Winooski.

I know it’s important to feel comfortable with your health care providers, so I offer a free, no pressure discovery call to see if we’re a good fit. Click below to schedule your call, or call/text the office at 802-448-2283.

"Arden is an insightful, compassionate healer who listens at an incredibly deep level - with both her brain and her heart. Highly recommend!"

My Approach

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, support, and validation.

Evidence-Based Care

I was raised in a family of scientists, and strive to offer health care grounded in evidence.

I believe that many forms of medicine offer valuable tools. If you’re working with a doctor or taking medications, I will never suggest that you discontinue that care, although I’m happy to help if that’s your goal.

(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.

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.
