Herba Acupuncture is a woman-led, woman-operated business in the heart of West Hartford Center, offering Acupuncture and Naturopathic services. This position is open to all Licensed Acupuncturists, including recent graduates!

What We Treat

While our acupuncture providers have experience treating all types of conditions, our practice specializes in Women’s Health, Fertility, and Pain Management. We work in tandem with our Naturopathic Doctor quite a bit, as we believe the holistic approach is the best approach. Our acupuncture providers use modalities such as cupping and infrared therapy. We ask that applicants be familiar with these techniques. We are happy to support additional modalities you find helpful in your treatments.
