About Us

Our team approach to healthcare transfers to our chocolate making. Each member of our craft made, chocolate production team, brings their expertise and passions to our 5 Element bars. When we’re not making chocolate, find the team working together at our Integrative Acupuncture offices in Montpelier and Williston, Vermont.

At Chi Chi Wellness we believe it is imperative to pause with reflection and give thanks for the cultures and lands with which our herbs and cacao come from. We have gratitude for these ancient medicines and for our teachers, who gave us the gift of love for plant medicine.

Jonathan fell in love with the art and science of herbalism through his studies at Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder, CO. He is passionate about organic and sustainable farming practices and ensures the herbs in Chi Chi Wellness chocolates are grown to USDA organic standards. When not formulating herbal blends for our chocolate products, you can find Jonathan at home in Vermont, hiking in the Green Mountains and foraging for herbs and mushrooms. Look for Jonathan’s photos on our social media channels, he loves popping a Chi Chi Wellness chocolate bar into the beautiful scenery of our beloved Vermont.

Acupuncturist
Wood Element

Kerry is a licensed acupuncturist on a mission. Her drive to make acupuncture and herbs accessible to all people is clear with her history of launching the acupuncture and herb department on board cruise ships worldwide in 2005, as well as founding a non-profit “People For Acupuncture” and her volunteerism working to change insurance laws in Vermont to make acupuncture a covered service. As a chocolate lover, Kerry felt it was a perfect medium to introduce many people to the wonders of healing herbs, with a sweet tooth. Her vision includes more advocacy and education about acupuncture and herbal medicine.
