Whole-Hearted Medicine.

Karla Archambeault, L.Ac

You’re here because something in you wants to feel more whole, more alive, and more at home in your body.

My work is rooted in Five-Element Acupuncture and hands-on healing, shaped by many years of studying how the body holds stress, emotion, and life experience. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we work with the deeper patterns that influence how you respond to stress, change, and healing itself.

For over twenty years, bodywork has been the foundation of my practice. Along the way, I trained extensively in somatic therapy, and body-centered psychotherapy, and I am also a certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor through the Kripalu School of Ayurveda. Today, my work integrates acupuncture, supported by hands-on bodywork, craniosacral therapy, and energy healing, with an emphasis on somatic awareness and whole-person healing.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, where I’ve supported thousands of people through massage, craniosacral therapy, Ayurveda, and integrative healing work. These years have taught me that healing unfolds through presence, relationship and care.

I completed my Master’s degree in Acupuncture at the Academy for Five Element Acupuncture in Gainesville, Florida, and continue to deepen my clinical work through advanced study with my mentor, Lonny Jarrett. His teachings have shaped my understanding of medicine as something that has the potential to bring forward what is true, good , and beautiful- for the healing of both the individual and the collective.

All of this shapes how I work with you- supporting your system in restoring balance, resilience, and vitality, so that what is true and alive in you can come forward again.

When I’m not in the clinic, I enjoy walking in the woods, sitting by the water, photography, getting lost in used bookstores, cooking, dancing, singing, and spending time with my sweet black cat, Brahmi, and exploring this beautiful and WILDLY PRECIOUS life.
