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.

holds a Doctorate of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (DAOM) and a Masters of Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (MATCM) from Yo San University in Los Angeles, CA, with a specialization in Integrative Reproductive Healthcare.

Dr. Gentile enjoys treating both men’s and women’s fertility issues and believes in reproductive care that both meets her patients’ immediate challenges and sets them up for success for the next stages of their journey. She believes that a balanced menstrual cycle leads to optimum fertility and a strong, healthy pregnancy, and that a well-supported postpartum leads to happy, healthy parents and children. She particularly enjoys supporting patients in meeting their goals for health and wellbeing through times of transition with a focus on hormone balance. This means addressing related issues such as anxiety and depression, insomnia, fatigue, digestive issues, autoimmune disorders and musculoskeletal pain conditions.
Outside of her passion for medicine, Dr. Gentile most cherishes time with her husband and three children, exploring the outdoors with her rescue pup, and immersing herself in books.
