Samhitta lived and traveled in Asia for eight years continuing her studies in nutrition, as well as training in meditation, massage and CranioSacral therapy.
After graduating from Colorado School of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 1998, Samhitta went to India to open a walk in clinic similar to the Community Acupuncture Clinic. She found that working in this type of clinical environment was effective, fun, low cost for patients and very popular. Coming back to the United States, Samhitta had a vision to provide this kind of affordable care.
In September 2004 Samhitta co-founded Community Acupuncture Clinic with Mary Saunders. Her practice of Chinese medicine at Community Acupuncture Clinic includes cupping, gua-sha, needling, tuina, moxibustion, auricular therapy, and massage. She prescribes Chinese herbs, and provides lifestyle, nutritional, and dietary counseling.
