At Foundations of Wellness, we believe true health is more than the absence of disease—it’s the full expression of vitality in body, mind, and spirit. Our practice is built on the understanding that healing is a journey, and each person’s path is unique.
Through the time-tested practices of Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Integrative Health Coaching, and mind-body therapies, we offer a deeply personalized and holistic approach to your care. Whether you’re seeking relief from physical discomfort, emotional strain, or simply want to feel more grounded and energized, our goal is to help you reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence and resilience.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient healing system that works with the body’s own qi (pronounced chee)—the vital life force that flows through energetic channels called meridians. These meridians are linked to specific organs and functions in the body. When qi becomes blocked or imbalanced due to stress, trauma, poor diet, emotional strain, or illness, symptoms arise—physically, emotionally, or spiritually.
Acupuncturists use very fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points along these meridians, helping to clear blockages, restore balance, and awaken the body’s self-healing potential. Modern research supports acupuncture’s effectiveness, showing that it improves circulation, calms the nervous system, and regulates key physiological processes.
At Foundations of Wellness, your practitioner conducts a thorough initial assessment—including tongue and pulse diagnosis and an in-depth intake—to create a custom treatment plan that addresses the root cause of imbalance, not just symptoms.
The Worsley Five Element Approach
In addition to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, we offer treatments rooted in Worsley Five Element Acupuncture—a deeply transformative style of acupuncture that focuses on balancing the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water.
This approach recognizes that physical health is intimately connected to our emotional and spiritual well-being. By identifying which Element is most out of balance—your causative factor—we can address long-standing patterns of disharmony at their core. Treatments are gentle, intuitive, and designed to restore clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of self.
Five Element Acupuncture is especially effective for those experiencing:
Chronic stress or burnout
Emotional trauma or instability
Cycles of depression and anxiety
Feeling stuck or disconnected from purpose
A desire to grow spiritually or re-align with inner truth
What Acupuncture Can Help With
The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as an effective treatment for more than 40 common conditions, including:
Chronic and acute pain (back, neck, joints, migraines)
Digestive issues such as IBS, bloating, and nausea
Anxiety, depression, and emotional imbalances
Fatigue, insomnia, and low energy
Hormonal and reproductive health concerns (PMS, fertility, menopause)
Allergies, asthma, and respiratory concerns
Immune dysfunction and inflammatory conditions
Many patients also turn to acupuncture for preventive care, stress management, and enhanced well-being in daily life.
Gentle, Safe, and Highly Personalized Care
Acupuncture is a safe, non-invasive, and relaxing therapy. The needles are incredibly thin—about the width of a human hair—and are typically painless upon insertion. Most people experience a deep sense of calm during treatment and often feel lighter, more centered, and more energized afterward.
All needles used are sterile, single-use, and disposable, meeting the highest standards of safety.
The number of sessions you’ll need depends on the nature of your concern. Acute issues may improve in just a few treatments, while chronic or long-standing conditions often require a longer course of care. You’ll receive a clear and collaborative plan tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and goals.
