Our Vision

To nourish and support the health and well-being of our patients, students, and colleagues

To contribute to the health and vitality of our communities

Our Approach

Meaningful healthcare starts with time. Our extended sessions create space for thoughtful conversations focused on you, your history, your goals, and the life you’re living, allowing for a more personalized and comprehensive approach to care. We meet you where you are.

We view health and wellness as arising from interrelated, dynamic processes encompassing not just the individual but the communities within which the individual resides

We bring an array of approaches for achieving wellness, balancing and harmonizing the multiple dimensions of each unique individual. Every treatment takes a mind-body approach, weaving acupuncture with complementary modalities in a single session to support physical health, emotional balance, stress reduction, and nervous system regulation.

We encourage you to be proactive and informed about your own health and wellness.

We offer transparent pricing

We collaborate with your broader healthcare team

Our Promise

We promise to replace the rush with presence, the silence with listening, and the uncertainty with a plan. You are not just another appointment; you are a person whose well-being and voice matter. We are honored to walk with you toward better health

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Teri at Calandra Acupuncture! I’ve been going to her for about 5 years on and off and every time it is soooo worth it. I absolutely can see my health improve through her care and she is kind, gentle, and just so special!

Teri has transformed my health over the last 8 months. Through NAET acupuncture treatments … my gluten allergy is gone, my GI issues are gone, mold, dust and pollen allergies are gone, I no longer get sinus/allergy headaches, my hormones are more balanced and generally I feel really, really good! I also now have the knowledge and skills to give myself NAET acupressure treatments at home to boost my immunity when I (now rarely) feel unwell… Teri is a true intuitive health partner and I cannot recommend her more!

I went to Teri for fertility (became pregnant within a month of starting working with her), and then saw her regularly throughout my pregnancy this year. My pregnancy was very smooth, and I was blessed to give birth to a very healthy baby. Teri also helped me manage my stress throughout the year as well. Teri is thoughtful, thorough and knowledgeable. She shared lots of great information with me at each session. I highly recommend her!

I had been to many doctors, specialists – none of whom could eliminate or reduce my allergies and sensitivities. I finally found Calandra Center for Health & Wellness and all of my symptoms and problems were eliminated. There aren’t enough words of gratitude to express how grateful I am to finally get relief.
