Autumn Bear Wellness Collective brings integrative health to Park City

PARK CITY, Utah — A new wellness clinic offering integrative health services is set to open March first in Kimball Junction. Autumn Bear Wellness Collective, founded by licensed acupuncturists Nichole Dreyer and Autumn Bear, will provide acupuncture, herbal therapy, integrative nutrition, and complementary healing modalities.

The clinic, located at 5532 Lillehammer Lane, Suite 102, was created to meet the growing demand for comprehensive wellness services. Bear, who has been practicing acupuncture for nearly 20 years, specializes in treating long COVID, autoimmune disorders, and post-traumatic head trauma. Dreyer, who has more than 14 years of experience, focuses on pain management, anxiety relief, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), a technique designed to address subconscious emotional blockages.

“This community looks for healthy ways to fix problems and promote longevity,” Bear said. “We wanted to create a space where people could access integrative medicine without searching all over the state for expert practitioners.”

The expansion follows the success of Bear’s existing clinic, Autumn Bear Acupuncture, which has outgrown its space. The new collective will bring together specialists from multiple fields. In addition to Bear and Dreyer, the clinic will welcome integrative nutritionist Shelley Swapp, who focuses on using food as medicine and analyzing lab work to improve digestive health.

“We want people to feel at ease when they come in for treatment, not intimidated by a clinical setting,” Dreyer said. “Healing happens best in a warm, inviting environment where people feel safe and supported.”

The clinic will offer cupping therapy, acupuncture, and frequency-based healing with tuning forks, which Dreyer uses to promote relaxation and balance. “It’s just a little vibration,” she said. “It doesn’t hurt at all. It feels really good and soothing.”

Bear, who studied with an 88th-generation Taoist priest in New York City for six years, said integrative care is essential. “People don’t have to settle for just one form of treatment,” she said. “We want to bring together great practitioners to provide comprehensive care.”

Autumn Bear Wellness Collective aims to foster a sense of community. The founders envision the clinic as a hub where practitioners collaborate and refer patients to trusted specialists. “We want to be a resource,” Bear said. “If someone needs a service we don’t provide, we want to help them find the right practitioner within our community.”

Dreyer emphasized accessibility and comfort. “We don’t want people to fear seeking healthcare,” she said. “We want them to feel welcome, calm, and at peace—because that’s where healing takes place.”

The collective is also seeking a physician or nurse practitioner to enhance its integrative care model.
