Welcome! I am Carolyn.
I specialize in guiding individuals who feel mentally and physically overwhelmed through a compassionate and deeply personalized healing journey.
Whether you're managing a medical diagnosis, specific symptoms, or simply feeling off balance, the path I offer is a roadmap to rediscovering your true self and achieving a sense of well-being.
Using acupuncture, flower essences, and other integrative modalities, I work with you to help your body and mind shift their responses to life’s challenges. Together, we’ll create a healing plan that supports your unique needs and empowers you to reach your health goals.
It Takes A Lot of Courage to Try Something New
Taking the step to try acupuncture is an act of courage, and I honor that.
Acupuncture is a comprehensive and powerful healing system that can address a broad range of symptoms and conditions. However, just like modern Western medicine, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. There are many different styles, approaches, and modalities within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), each of which may be more suitable for different individuals and concerns.
For much of the last 10 years, I have focused my studies and practice on acupuncture styles that are particularly effective in treating:
- Emotional and Mental Health
- Nervous System Disorders
- Chronic & Systemic Symptoms
Throughout my years of experience, I have had the privilege of working with individuals facing a wide variety of symptoms and diagnoses. Together, we focus on finding a new path forward—helping the body restore balance, ease discomfort, and promote overall well-being.
Some of the conditions I have worked with include, but are not limited to:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Perinatal Mood Disorders
- PTSD & cPTSD
- Bipolar Disorder
- Eating Disorders
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Essential Tremors
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Dementia
- Long COVID
- Multiple Auto-Immune Syndrome
- And many more
Your Care, Your Way
I believe acupuncture should fit into your life, not add more stress to your already busy schedule. Whether you'd prefer the convenience and comfort of receiving acupuncture in your own home or would rather come see me at my Gwinn office, I offer a couple of ways to make acupuncture work for you.
Home Visits
Enjoy acupuncture in the comfort of your own home, without having to worry about driving afterward. I bring everything needed for your treatment directly to you, allowing you to relax and ease back into your day at your own pace.
Gwinn Office
For those who prefer an office setting or aren't able to accommodate a home visit, I also offer appointments at my Gwinn office.
What does Ongoing Care look like?
Acupuncture is cumulative, meaning that the benefits often build with consistent treatments over time. While everyone's needs are different, more frequent sessions are often helpful when beginning care, particularly when addressing acute symptoms.
I typically start by recommending weekly treatments, then adjust the frequency as your symptoms improve and your goals evolve.
We'll work together to find a rhythm that supports your progress while also fitting into your everyday life. I understand that life gets busy, and I want your care to feel like a supportive part of your routine rather than another thing on your to-do list.
My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and cared for. Together, we'll navigate your health concerns, adjust as needed, and build an approach to care that feels sustainable and right for you.
Get Started!
Welcome! I'm so glad you're considering acupuncture, and I look forward to getting to know you! Your initial appointment is a 2-hour experience designed to lay the foundation for our work together.
The first hour is spent getting to know you through an in-depth conversation about your health history, current concerns, and goals. This gives me a chance to understand you as a whole person and begin developing an approach that feels right for your unique needs.
The second hour is your first acupuncture treatment. We'll take a gentle approach as we explore how your body responds to acupuncture and other treatment modalities.
New patients are asked to begin at my Gwinn office so we can get to know each other and establish a treatment plan. If getting to the office isn't an option, just reach out and we'll discuss alternatives!
