Mission Statement

To passionately use acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, or other tools such as Tai Chi, Qi Gong or meditation to help guide people in need so that they can reach their highest potential in life. My goal is to help people live stronger, healthier lives. Lives free of pain. Lives free of anxiety. Lives full of purpose. Lives bursting with enthusiasm. Lives where transformation is possible. Lives where compassion and love are central.
We’re all flowing along in this giant river of a universe and sometimes we get caught on a rock and we need a push. Chinese Medicine, Tai Chi and meditation are all tools that nudge people down stream and create freedom by helping the body heal itself.

“I feel so privileged to be in the position, for the rest of my life, to help others. The best part of my job is being able to help people truly heal. Most people, to some degree, are in some level of pain, whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. My goal as a provider is not only to treat symptoms, but more importantly to treat the root causes of those symptoms to help people truly be well and live vibrantly. That’s what wellness is, and that’s what I love to help others achieve.”

When Melinda is not treating patients, you will most likely find her in the ocean with her family on the Seacoast of NH. Melinda is an avid surfer (yes, even during the New England winters!), certified yoga teacher, and lifelong athlete. She possesses an innate appreciation of the importance of developing and maintaining a strong and healthy body and mind.

As a licensed Acupuncturist, Melinda blends the best of both eastern and western medicine. In addition to her education and clinical experience, Melinda spent over a decade training doctors in medical devices and robotic surgical technology. As a result, she has an excellent foundation and appreciation for western medicine, while recognizing the importance of comprehensive, integrative care for patients. Compelled by helping others, she made the decision to leave her career and become a healthcare provider herself. Melinda chose the field of Acupuncture because it gives her the unique opportunity to provide personalized, holistic, patient-centered care.

Melinda Ferreira is a nationally board-certified Diplomate of Acupuncture, and is licensed to practice in the state of NH.

She is currently completing her Doctorate in Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine.

In addition, I am a Spiritual Director and am comfortable exploring the spiritual and emotional aspects of my patients lives with them.
