AcuWellness: Whole-Body Care for Women
When your body has been asking for help, I listen to all of it.
If you’re living with chronic illness, an autoimmune condition, painful or irregular cycles, endometriosis, anxiety, or depression, you’ve probably been handed a lot of separate answers for what feels like one tangled problem. A specialist for this, a prescription for that, and nobody looking at the whole picture.
Traditional Chinese medicine works differently. Modern medicine tends to treat the body like a vehicle: break it into parts and fix the one that’s broken. Chinese medicine treats the body like a garden. I look at the soil, the weather, the light, the water, everything in context, because that’s how your body actually works.
AcuWellness is my 60-minute session built for exactly that kind of care.
Who AcuWellness Is For
AcuWellness is designed for women who want to feel better in their own bodies and are looking for natural, whole-person support alongside their existing care, including women navigating:
Chronic illness and fatigue. When low energy, pain, or inflammation has become your “normal,” acupuncture can help support your body’s own regulating systems so you have more to work with day to day.
Autoimmune conditions. I focus on calming the system, supporting balance, and helping you feel more resilient between flare-ups.
Menstrual concerns. Painful periods, irregular cycles, heavy flow, PMS, mood shifts, and Perimenopause are some of the most common reasons women come to Chinese medicine, and some of the most rewarding to work with.
Endometriosis. Many women use acupuncture as part of their plan to help manage pelvic pain, cramping, and the stress that comes with a long-term diagnosis.
Anxiety and depression. Treatment is deeply calming for the nervous system. Many of my patients tell me the hour on my table is the most relaxed they’ve felt all week, and that calm tends to carry forward with consistent care.
What Happens in Your Session
You get the full hour with me. No “needles in and leave the room.” Every AcuWellness session includes:
Tongue evaluation and diagnosis. Your tongue tells me a lot about what’s happening inside your body. This is where I find the patterns behind your symptoms.
Point prescription. Based on your diagnosis, I choose the acupuncture points that address your specific pattern, not a one-size-fits-all formula.
Needle application. Fine, sterile, single-use needles. You’ll feel the needle go in, but if you can handle a mosquito bite, you can handle acupuncture.
E-stim (electro-acupuncture). Gentle electrical stimulation through the needles adds energy to your treatment and deepens its effect.
A third modality, chosen for you. Using applied kinesiology (muscle testing), I identify which additional therapy your body will respond to best that day. It may include:
- CranioSacral Therapy
- Taoist Stone Medicine
- Vibrational Tuning Forks
- Fire Cupping
- Moxibustion
No two sessions are exactly alike, because no two days in your body are exactly alike.
Health Is Beauty
When your body is in balance, it shows in your energy, your mood, your sleep, and yes, your face. I’ve been helping women in Northern Colorado feel better through the time-tested techniques of traditional Chinese medicine since 2006, and I’d love to help you too.
