About Us
Dr. Jada Turco Khosla first met Dr. Maya Carlet over a decade ago in New York City. Both were a part of an Integrative Group Practice that combined clinicians of differing expertise; ie Massage Therapy, Psychology, Chiropractic Care, Acupuncture. From their early collaborations they saw the tremendous benefits to their shared patients in this truly Integrated Holistic Care model. The vision began to someday open a clinic with a similar concept, combining mind-body healing, in Vermont.

We advocate for social justice and equity in our communities. We are strong allies of the BIPOC and LGBTQAI+ community, recognizing that discrimination of any kind is not good for mental or physical health or well-being.

We acknowledge that we are on Abenacki land and acknowledge that the land is the traditional homeland of the Abenaki people, and that the Abenaki have not legally given up the land. The Abenaki people have lived in Vermont for thousands of years. Today, there are several Abenaki tribes in Vermont, including the Elnu Abenaki Tribe, the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation, the Koasek Abenaki Tribe, and the Mississquoi Abenaki Tribe.
