Meet Dr. Lauren Fleming DTCM, L.Ac.
Dr. Lauren Fleming, DTCM, L.Ac. is a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, licensed acupuncturist, and certified herbalist with a specialized focus in Chinese herbal dermatology and emotional wellness.
With a background in Psychology and Environmental Studies from the University of Vermont, Lauren’s path to healing began with an exploration of how the food system impacts both physical and emotional health. Her studies — combined with transformative travels across Southeast Asia — eventually led her to earn her Master's and Doctorate degrees in Traditional Chinese Medicine from Five Branches University.
Today, Lauren offers a uniquely integrative and luxurious approach to acupuncture — blending aesthetic treatments, internal herbal therapy, and nervous system-focused care. Her work supports those navigating concerns like acne, aging, hormonal shifts, and prenatal skincare, as well as those seeking to process stored emotions and reconnect with themselves on a deeper level.
At the heart of her work is a belief that your skin is a mirror, and your symptoms are invitations — not problems. She is passionate about helping her patients feel curious, empowered, and deeply connected to the subtle wisdom of their bodies.
