Melody Osgood, LAc, Dipl. NCCAOM, Doula, CHPCA, CBE
I am a licensed acupuncturist and NCCAOM diplomate dedicated to guiding individuals through life’s most profound physical and spiritual transitions. My practice integrates the precision of Biomedical science with the holistic wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, creating a unique sanctuary for healing that spans fertility, birth, chronic illness, life’s final passage, and the vibrant, confident expression of one's vitality.
My Path: A Multidisciplinary Foundation for Holistic Care
My journey began with a deep curiosity about the human experience—both physical and sensory. This led me to earn a B.S. in Applied Arts & Sciences (2012) from Rochester Institute of Technology, with professional concentrations in Biomedical Studies and Food & Wine Studies. This dual foundation gave me a robust understanding of the body's systems and a profound appreciation for the nuanced, personal ways we interact with our world. Seeking a medical paradigm that treated the whole person, I discovered acupuncture and earned my Master of Science in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (2019) from the Finger Lakes School of Acupuncture at New York Chiropractic College.
My Focus: The Courage to Navigate Thresholds
My true calling lies in supporting people through the spaces between states of being. After graduation, I pursued advanced certifications to serve at life’s most sacred junctures: as a Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Acupuncturist (2021) and a DONA-trained Doula (2021), Placenta Specialist (2024), and Childbirth Educator (2024). I am also a trauma-informed practitioner (2023), and it is my own navigation of profound personal thresholds—including lived experience with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome—that allows me to offer a unique blend of clinical expertise and embodied insight, especially for those with complex conditions like EDS and MCAS.
A Toolkit for Transformation: Depth and Collaboration
My practice is a curated collection of modalities designed to facilitate wholeness:
- Facial Revitalization & Restorative Care: To support the threshold of aging and renewal, I have pursued specialized training in cosmetic acupuncture and microneedling, holding certifications in foundational, anti-aging, acne, and hair loss protocols (2023-2025), and integrate red light therapy.
- Allergy & Sensitivity Reduction: I am a Certified SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) Practitioner (2025), utilizing this precise technique to help reduce allergic and sensitivity reactions.
- The AcuSound Session: In deep collaboration with my husband, Zach Osgood (The Chakra Tuner), we offer AcuSound sessions. This synergistic treatment combines the targeted energy balancing of acupuncture with the vibrational healing of precision tuning forks and crystal singing bowls, allowing for profound, multi-dimensional relaxation and integration.
- Nervous System Regulation: As a Breathwork Facilitator and Somatic Movement/Qigong Instructor, I provide tools for somatic awareness and regulation, essential for navigating any life change.
My Philosophy: Integrated, Courageous Care
I believe in the power of integrated care—where clinical rigor meets compassionate support. My approach is one of courageous presence: I am here to skillfully and creatively support you through initiation, whether it’s welcoming new life, navigating illness, transforming trauma, revitalizing your vitality, or crossing a final threshold. It is an honor to serve my rural community, offering a unique bridge between medical authority and heart-centered, collaborative healing.
When not in the treatment room, I am nourishing my own roots: hiking the lands of Upstate NY, foraging for wild herbs and mushrooms, gardening, and building a home full of love with my husband, son, and animal companions.
Let’s navigate your next chapter, together.

The Chakra Tuner:
Zach Osgood, Reiki Master Practitioner & Expert Sound Healer
I am a certified expert sound healer, Reiki master, and trauma-informed practitioner dedicated to facilitating deep relaxation, energetic balance, and self-healing. My work is founded on the principle that the body possesses an innate wisdom to restore itself when provided with the right resonant conditions and a compassionate, held space.
My Path: From Intuitive Perception to Energetic Practice
My journey began with an intuitive sense of the energy fields that surround us. Since childhood, I have perceived the colors and shapes of auras, which later led me to a deeper study of chakra systems and their correspondences to emotional and physical states. This intuitive foundation found its formal expression through my Reiki training and attunement (2021), culminating in my Reiki Master designation (2024). A pivotal college course in Therapeutic Touch illuminated the profound effects of energy work, inspiring me to develop and share this gift.
My Focus: Resonance, Release, and Restoration
My true calling is to create sonic and energetic sanctuaries for release and integration. I specialize in using vibration—through precision tuning forks, crystal singing bowls, and guided resonance—to help the nervous system settle, stagnant energy move, and a natural state of harmony re-emerge. My practice is deeply informed by trauma-informed principles, ensuring a safe and empowering container for all forms of healing.
A Collaborative Toolkit for Wholeness
My practice is both a solo art and a collaborative symphony:
- The AcuSound Session: In profound partnership with my wife, Melody Osgood, LAc, we co-facilitate AcuSound sessions. This unique modality blends the targeted, clinical precision of acupuncture with the expansive, vibrational field of sound healing, creating a deeply immersive experience for multi-dimensional wellness.
- Ceremonial Space Holding: As a Certified Cacao Ceremony Facilitator (2024), I integrate the heart-opening medicine of ceremonial cacao with sound baths and guided meditation to foster community connection and personal insight in group settings.
- Energy & Resonance Work: My one-on-one sessions utilize my expert certifications in Sound Healing (2023) and Reiki to provide personalized chakra tuning and energetic alignment.

My Philosophy: The Body as a Resonant Instrument
I view the human body and spirit as a resonant instrument, naturally designed to return to a state of balance. My role is that of a tuner: using sound, intention, and energy to help clear interference and restore your inherent, harmonious frequency. It is an honor to work alongside my wife, serving our community by bridging the tangible and the subtle, the clinical and the spiritual, to support holistic wellbeing.
When not holding space for healing, I am nourishing my own roots: spending time with my family, tending our garden, foraging in the forests of Upstate NY, studying the world of fungi, and strumming my guitar.
I meet you where you are.
I'm a mobile acupuncturist practicing in Newark, NY, Rochester, NY and surrounding Eastern Suburbs.
