The Sustainable Medicine Clinic
Didi Pershouse, Nationally Certified Homeopath and Licensed Acupuncturist, provided alternative and sustainable heath care at the Clinic at The Center for Sustainable Medicine.
This was not your usual clinic: nestled in the heart of a small town in Vermont, with an organic vegetable garden on one side, and perennial flower gardens all around, this clinic was not the sterile environment that most people have come to associate with hospitals and clinics. Didi Pershouse shoveled her own walkway, greeted her own patients, and answered her own phone. She related to her patients on a personal level, never rushing them in and out of their appointments. Instead, she made sure to spend the necessary time to fully understand what was bothering them, and find long-term solutions that would lead to lasting health.
As Didi often used to say: "I have what you need, or can help you find it."
Didi practiced a variety of alternative therapies: private and sliding-scale community acupuncture, homeopathy, hands-on healing, nutritional counseling, and general health counseling. Her goal was always to make sure that patients got exactly what they needed out of their visits, assisting them with finding a wider support system if necessary. She was well connected to other providers in the Upper Connecticut River Valley, and was able to provide referrals to specialists if needed.
