Well Women Acupuncture

Valentines - a time for SELF LOVE & being gentle with ourselves (AND our partners!).

At Well Women Acupuncture we encourage mind, body & spirit health. We love when our clients leave our space feeling balanced and empowered.

Andrea = Holistic Women's Health and healthy aging! As a member of the Well Women Acupuncture team for nearly two years, Andrea Tijmes has studied with Danica, both as a student and apprentice, learning how to incorporate a counseling component into each acupuncture session. Andrea's enthusiasm for healthy aging began with her study of 'facial acupuncture', a cosmetic trend that involves increasing collagen levels to smoothe fine lines and wrinkles on the ...face. Andrea incorporates her training in nutrition, health coaching and Chinese medicine to create treatment plans for her patients that address their health concerns from a holistic angle. "Sometimes it's not enough to receive acupuncture. Women need tools and guidance to propel them on their journey. They need an experienced teacher to show them how to take control of their own health to see the results they're looking for. Knowing what to eat and how to view life with more understanding is what sets the stage for healthy aging, and I help women remember those truths." Andrea sees her patients on Tuesday and Thursday mornings until 2pm, and on Saturday afternoons. Her hobbies outside the office include beach volleyball, hiking, skiing and growing her garden of microgreens! @pointsbydre See more

Christina = Women's Empowerment! Using yoga and tools learned on the path of personal discovery, Christina approaches women's issues from the perspective of first finding what's out of balance, then learning what steps need to be taken to restore harmony or personal power. Christina knows that fertility issues are rarely straightforward or resolved easily with IVF. She assists her patients on their journeys by helping them keep the faith, and reminding them... to look beyond the disappointment to see the hidden lessons waiting to be found along the way. When she's not teaching yoga or working with her acupuncture patients, she enjoys baking gluten-free, doing anything outdoors and working on her side business @balancedbride. You can schedule with @christinaleiwellness for acupuncture on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the morning hours until 2pm. See more

Audrey = thyroid health! Among her many talents, Audrey Guss sees women at the office who are struggling with chronic health disorders, including: -thyroid imbalance -autoimmune conditions -candida... -SIBO -adrenal fatigue It takes time and patience to recover health in these types of longstanding issues. Audrey's background includes a personal healing journey, which gives her the perspective and tools to share with her patients to achieve success when other methods have failed. If you've been fruatrated and feel like you're getting nowhere dealing with one of the chronic health issues above, schedule a session with Audrey at www.wellwomenacupuncture.com - she's seeing patients on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in the afternoon.

"As the founder of @wellwomenacupuncture, I've dedicated 20 years to the vision of a unique women's health community. Addressing what's missing in the traditional gyne clinic setting, I've created a more personal approach that involves the patient in her care, empowering her in the process..." This patient empowerment perspective gives women a more active role in recovering their health. Whether they need to process emotions around a failed fertility attemp...t, or they are looking to resolve a chronic health issue, we allow space in the session for counseling and provide tools such as patient education, to create lasting results. When women feel safe and cared for, healing can begin. When women have tools that work and a map for the journey, goals can be reached more easily. That's the model for women's integrative health - and that's what women enjoy when they come to our office. photo credit @wakingstatedesign See more
