Meet The Connected Healing Team

True healing happens when every part of you is supported physically, emotionally, and energetically.

That’s why our team is intentionally made up of practitioners from a variety of disciplines, each bringing a unique perspective and skill set to your care. From functional nutrition and Chinese medicine to nervous system support and root-cause lab analysis, our practitioners collaborate to create personalized, holistic care plans that meet you exactly where you are. While our specialties may differ, we’re united by a shared mission: to help you feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported throughout your healing journey.

Caitria Thiele, L.Ac.

Founder, Licensed Acupuncturist & Holistic Nutritionist

I feel very blessed to be able to have followed my soul's purpose from an early age. I grew up understanding the benefit of eating high quality food, valuing the importance of preventative medicine, and exploring my passion for healing. This all led me to stumble upon an acupuncture school near my hometown, where I immediately felt a strong connection to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). I have had my own experiences of personal healing by way of acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, and have integrated the foundational theories of this powerful model of medicine into my daily life. I don't just preach these principles, I live them. I have found such joy, empowerment, and gratitude for life through this path, and spend my days sharing those gifts with my clients.

Alyssa Cologna, L.Ac.

Licensed Acupuncturist 

I have always been naturally drawn to holistic healing since I was young so pretty quickly, I found myself pursuing this profession right out of high school. Through my own physical and mental health struggles I have first-hand experience with how life-changing this medicine is and am eager to share my knowledge and expertise with all my future patients!

My passion is women’s health & wellness and fertility. In my free time, I love spending time outdoors, hanging out with friends and family, watching documentaries, cooking, thrifting, and picking up new hobbies/DIY projects.
