About Anupa Wellness
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!
