helping patients address health concerns that are preventing them from living life to its fullest.
I offer a variety of related services to treat and prevent a wide range of conditions, including pain, digestive issues, women’s health issues, autoimmune conditions, fertility and pregnancy, allergies, headaches, and more.
acupuncture
While acupuncture can be extremely helpful for many conditions, we have found that, in our experience, it will not work nearly as well as when it is combined with nutritional therapy. Thus, we will typically combine these therapies to treat the whole system and achieve best results for the patient.
nutrition
Don’t like to cook? Too busy to think about food? Have kids? Have specific health concerns? Don’t worry—we work with each person to create a plan that works for you and your goals. We can also coordinate your care with your other medical providers to develop a comprehensive plan that is most effective.
“I was very impressed with Lauren. In addition to being a first rate acupuncturist, her knowledge of nutrition and supplements is phenomenal. That additional expertise gives her the ability to treat even the most complicated conditions. Go see her. You’ll be happy you did!”

chinese medicine
herbal medicine
Herbal medicine is a great alternative to pharmaceuticals. Traditional Chinese herbal medicine is a powerful system that uses natural medicinals to treat many common complaints, illness, and diseases. Herbs come in many different forms but the most common and convenient methods are tablets or tinctures. Herbal recommendations are included with acupuncture appointments but 30 minute herbal consultations are available.
cupping therapy
Patients usually request this! Cupping is a great way to untangle the knots in your shoulders and de-stress. Glass cups are applied to the surface of your skin with a mild suction in order to draw fresh oxygen-rich circulation into the achy and tired muscles below. Afterwards, you feel like you’ve had a deep tissue massage! Some discoloration may appear on the skin’s surface following this treatment. Cupping is often included during an acupuncture session. For those that wish for cupping therapy alone, 20 minute appointments are available.
moxibustion
Moxibustion is a warming treatment that involves burning an herb called mugwort. It is used to warm regions of the body and acupuncture points in order to stimulate circulation. Moxa is also well known for the ability to help turn a breech fetus (around 34 weeks gestation and in coordination with the Ob/Gyn only).
functional testing
Have you been feeling sick and tired? Have you been running from doctor to doctor with few answers as to what ails you? Do you feel like something is off but can’t figure it out? Perhaps you’ve tried food elimination diets, basic hormone and lab testing, swallowing endless supplements, devouring any information you can get your hands on and you’re left confused and with an endless supply of supplement bottles filling up your shelves?
You are not alone!
If you’re ready to dig deep, test. Don’t guess.
dutch hormone testing
The most comprehensive and innovative testing out there to test adrenal glands, hormones, and their metabolites. This test digs deeper and gives you the full picture of your hormone levels and how they’re being broken down in the body.
gi map stool testing
A comprehensive stool test that screens the body for pathogenic bacteria, parasites, fungi, viruses, and other pathogens that can have a negative impact on your body and cause many illnesses or chronic conditions.
great plains food allergy testing
This test is highly beneficial in structuring elimination diets or determining whether delayed food reactions are causing physical or mental symptoms. Determining what foods you’re reacting to can mitigate your symptoms, reduce stress on your immune system, lower gut inflammation, resolve food cravings, and aid treatment in many chronic health conditions.
