A Holistic Approach to Healthcare

We promise to be a true partner throughout your unique health journey—and support you every step of the way. Welcome in!

Your Health First

Choosing to make your health a priority is one of the best choices you can make in your life. With a healthy mind and body, you can accomplish just about anything. Even knowing that, women too often put their health and needs lower down on the priority list than they should, choosing to put others before themselves. However, we believe putting yourself first, making you a priority, is the ultimate act of love. We are here to assist you in placing your health at the top of our priority list.

Our Holistic Approach to Women’s Health Care

We’re here to improve the health and wellbeing of every woman that walks through our doors. We do this by treating each patient with respect, listening to each person’s journey, and working with them to create a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to them. Our holistic approach appreciates that each woman is unique and therefore deserves a treatment plan that addresses the whole person.

To treat issues that are negatively impacting a woman’s health, we’ll recommend using one type of treatment or a combination of several including acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, nutrition, vitamins, supplements, and cupping therapy.
