We Know The Journey Through Womanhood Can Be Hard.

We are women, too. In one way or another, we’ve been in your same shoes. Whether dealing with our own menstrual difficulties, fertility struggles, pregnancy complications and even menopausal complaints, we understand. We’ve experienced for ourselves how acupuncture helps you feel at home in your body again… and we’re here to help you.

As Women:
we understand how hopeless you can feel when your hormones get out of whack, when difficult periods rule your life, or when infertility destroys your dreams of growing your family. It can seem like your body has betrayed you, and you don’t know where to turn.
As women’s health Acupuncturists

we believe that your body has the wisdom to heal from within and that you can have a healthy relationship with your hormones. We can help by tapping into your body’s innate healing and guiding you towards life choices that support optimum hormonal balance.

How We Can Help
  • Identify your own blocks to balanced hormones
  • Understand what tools are available to help you become re-aligned with your body.
  • Implement lifestyle changes, acupuncture & herbal medicine to create lasting change.
  • Eliminate despair and frustration with the help of a supportive team.
Why Choose Us?

We’ve been at this awhile. Since opening our doors in 2006, we’ve welcomed thousands of women just like you who struggle with issues ranging from hormonal & menstrual problems, infertility, pregnancy, menopause and beyond. With over 30 years of combined experience and the highest levels of advanced training and certification in our field, we offer uncompromised expertise in women’s health and infertility.

But underneath the know-how is genuine care, compassion, and integrity. We’re committed to giving you the nurturing you deserve. We know what it’s like to feel disillusioned with modern healthcare: the lack of connection with an overstretched office staff, feeling unheard as you’re rushed through appointments, treatments that serve as band-aids to symptoms while your underlying issue is ignored. It’s frustrating and can lead to an even bigger sense of hopelessness.

At Well Woman, we do things differently. Our care is thorough, our setting is calm, and our approach is gentle. We take time to listen, slowly, so that we get to the root of your problem and address it from within. We’ll work with you to identify what is keeping you stuck and create strategies that support hormonal health. And we do this with compassion and attentive care. Because on your path to wholeness, you deserve to be wholly cared for.

This means addressing related issues such as anxiety and depression, insomnia, fatigue, digestive issues, autoimmune disorders and musculoskeletal pain conditions.

Testimonials

Excellent
Cannot say enough great things about this place. I saw Rachel for acupuncture before an IVF embryo transfer. In what seemed like a hopeless/helpless situation where so much was out of my control, Rachel came up with an individualized plan for me that helped me take some of my power back. The embryo that I transferred is now 10 months old, and I’m forever grateful for Rachel and what she did for me. She is knowledgeable and such a calming presence. If you are struggling, give her a try!
Response from the owner:We are so happy that you had a successful transfer and are honored to have been part of helping your family grow, Clay! Thank you for the kind words and for sharing your positive experience. We are delighted to have walked on your fertility journey with you.
I saw Kandace to help with fertility, hormone balance and uterine lining while undergoing IVF treatment. The process is so clinical, that seeing Kandace in her inviting office was a such a welcome break. She took the time to really get to know me in depth as a whole person and every session was able to emotionally meet me where I was that day. Some days I arrived in tears after failed cycles, and sometimes elated with good news. She always seemed to know just what I needed that day to walk out of her office feeling better. Thanks to her help with acupuncture, supplementation and general advise on fertility and wellbeing, I had a successful IVF cycle and am now pregnant with twins. I cant thank her enough for her help and would highly recommend her to others!
I’ve been going to Kandace at Well Woman Acupuncture for almost 5 years and I have two children and one on the way because of Kandace’s expertise. She’s helped me get pregnant to helping me post partum and through all the hormone changes. She always knows what I need and has helped me through so much!
