Welcome to Sojourns,
where we believe
health is a journey.

Just like a journey, it welcomes new beginnings.

It has twists and turns, uphills and downhills, and beautiful vantage points - places from which we can appreciate what’s behind us and look forward to what lies ahead.

We believe health is a journey best embarked upon in community, with trusted partners and friends.

It’s never too late to nourish new health from within. Let us know how we can partner with you!

Integrated Services

The diversity of our practitioner team ensures that every patient is approached individually from a wide array of perspectives and disciplines. Collaboration is at the core of our mission. Daily practitioner team meetings are a forum for case discussion and integration of care.

Please call 802-722-4023 (select option 1) to find out which services will meet your needs.

  • Acupuncture can help remove blockages and restore proper energy flow. It is one of the oldest, most widely used medical procedures in the world. Studies in humans and animals indicate that traditional Chinese acupuncture may stimulate the production of endorphins (our bodies' own painkillers) in the brain, spinal cord and pituitary gland. We offer both individual and community acupuncture.

  • A chiropractor is a primary care doctor who focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of spinal health and well-being related to the proper function of the neuromusculoskeletal system. Chiropractors help their patients reduce pain, increase movement, improve performance, and enhance their quality of life, without the use of drugs or surgery. They focus on diagnosis, prevention, and conservative care.

  • Naturopathic Medicine blends the best of western medicine with very long-standing traditional systems of healing. Naturopathic physicians can be primary care providers or specialists, and are trained to care for all members of the family, including pregnant women, infants, children and the elderly. Our Naturopaths often use natural medicine and traditional healing tools, but they can also prescribe pharmaceuticals and help manage the drugs used in chronic conditions.

  • Our naturopaths and nurse practitioners offer primary care services. We provide person-centered, relationship-based care that considers the needs and preferences of our patients.

  • Each physical therapist on our team offers a unique area of specialty, though we are united in that we offer services that complement other layers of care a patient might be receiving, whether that be primary care, acupuncture or chiropractic. Currently our physical therapists offer manual therapy, orthopedics, lymphatic drainage, neuromuscular retraining, pelvic floor training and exercised based rehabilitation services.

  • Massage offers a unique way to shift physical patterns that can be the result of, or lead to, other imbalances energetically, mentally, emotionally or even spiritually. It also improves circulation, reduces stress, and boosts immunity. Our massage therapist uses a combination of Swedish and deep tissue techniques to bring clients into release and relaxation.

  • Your skin is the largest organ in your body. An Infrared Sauna increases internal body heat and induces sweating. It offers the possibility of cleansing both toxins and microbes through the skin, and we recommend it as a detox tool for both chronic and acute conditions.

    The infrared heater in the sauna can penetrate the skin to a depth of three and a half inches. It is effective at temperatures between 100 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

Our History

sojourns linda

Dr. Linda Haltinner

Our late founder, Dr. Linda Haltinner, envisioned a sojourner as one who is at home wherever he or she is in the world. We believe this to be at the core of wellness – an understanding of oneself that is not dependent upon external factors, but that is sourced internally through physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance.

Sojourns Community Health Clinic was founded in 2000 as a nonprofit clinic offering a broader and deeper understanding of what it means to be well.

We see people as whole, and we inspire a model for change for the delivery of healthcare.

Linda inspired everyone around her to believe that internal balance was not only achievable, but that it could be accessible to all. For over 20 years, Sojourns has boasted a talented array of professionals who carry this vision forward by starting every encounter with a vision of each patient as whole and well.

Our commitment to health access, regardless of socioeconomic status, is why we take time to listen to patients and collaborate across disciplines (primary care, naturopathic care, physical therapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture); educate colleagues and patients in complementary approaches to wellness; and reach a broader array of patients by working with insurance companies.

These priorities, among others, form a model of healthcare that can lead to real transformation for the 4,000 patients we see annually.
