Amy Vlacich Is a Licensed Acupuncturist and Chinese Herbalist specializing in holistic pain management, digestive health, and hormonal support for all ages and stages of life. She believes in the body’s innate ability to heal itself and strives to support this natural process with acupuncture and herbal medicine. Despite her passion for women’s health, Amy also loves to treat HEENT conditions such as headaches, allergies, sinusitis, vertigo, and TMJ. Amy believes in a holistic approach to care, one that embraces all aspects of health: the emotional, physical, and spiritual. Her acupuncture treatments are integrative and multifaceted, often utilizing multiple hands-on therapies, such as moxibustion (heat therapy), cupping (suction), gua sha (stone massage), and e-stim (electrical stimulation). She also offers at-home testing for food sensitivities and gut microbiome analysis upon request. Amy earned her Master’s of Science in Oriental Medicine (MSOM) at the Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine College in Berkeley, California. During her graduate studies, she interned at the San Francisco Homeless Prenatal Program, LifeLong Medical Care, and UCSF Mission Bay. She also studied at the First Teaching Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Tianjin, China where she learned acupuncture protocols for stroke rehabilitation and other neurological disorders. Since then, Amy has given over 14,000 acupuncture treatments in private and community practice in New Hampshire and Florida. Amy is a certified Acupuncture Detoxification Specialist (ADS) and Fellow of the Acupuncture Board of Reproductive Medicine (FABORM), one of three fertility specialists in the entire state of Maine. She has spent the past five years working at an integrative family wellness center in Florida, but is happy to return home to New England where she grew up. In her free time, Amy enjoys hiking, paddling, dancing, yoga, poetry, and adventures with her velcro dog, Rosie.
The first appointment is 90 minutes and begins with a thorough review of your health history, followed by a full acupuncture treatment. When appropriate, red light or laser therapy may also be included. This visit marks the start of your care. For the best results, most patients continue with weekly treatments for at least 3–4 weeks. Because our schedule fills quickly, we recommend scheduling these follow-up visits at the same time as your initial appointment. This helps ensure consistent care without delays. If you need any assistance, our team will be glad to help.
