~Hello, I’m Michelle ~
I’m delighted to welcome you to the healing art of Berkshire Acupuncture & Wellness. Nestled in the serene heart of Great Barrington, Massachusetts, our practice is dedicated to providing a place of healing and wellness. At Berkshire Acupuncture & Wellness, we blend the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern integrative approaches to address a variety of acute and chronic conditions.

Above all, our goal is to create a warm, welcoming environment where you can explore the benefits of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other complementary therapies. Together, we’ll develop a personalized wellness plan that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle, supporting your path to optimal health.

Berkshire Acupuncture Testimonials
Discover the transformative power of Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture
I have the pleasure of sharing many patients with Michelle. Since Michelle and I confer about our patient’s progress, the feel supported by both of us being able to communicate about their health. Patients report back saying they feel understood and respected and appreciate being recipients of a treatment team that looks out for them. We have also provided a case presentation to the Fairview Medical Staff on the benefits of having a collaborative model.
Michelle Manto adds priceless ingredients that create the space and opportunity for deep healing. Her compassion, heart and complete dedication to health and healing is invaluable. I refer patients to Michelle because I have the utmost confidence they will be taken care of with respect and a depth of knowledge and expertise that will gently propel them forward in their personal journey toward health and wellness.
