What does Anupa mean?

Anupa is a Sanskrit word for ‘by the water’. I found this name fitting for our new home on Sackett Avenue in Salida, Colorado just 50 feet away from the beautiful Arkansas River. 

Our intention at Anupa Wellness is to offer you compassionate care in a relaxing environment in which you look forward to spending time. The clinic is a sanctuary for showing up exactly as you are. This is a judgment-free zone and a place where you are fully accepted and loved for your deepest, most beautiful self.

We look forward to meeting you!

Inclusivity

We respect and value the diversity of our community.

We welcome people of all genders, sexes, races, colors, incomes, national origins, ages, abilities or disabilities, marital statuses, familial situations, religions, sizes and shapes, sexual orientations, and political beliefs. Your level of care will never be based on any of these factors.
