Acupuncture Services in Boulder & Longmont

A Calm, Individualized Approach to Healing

Acupuncture is a central therapy within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and has been used for thousands of years to support the body’s natural capacity for balance and regulation. Fine, sterile needles are placed at specific points on the body to influence circulation, nerve signaling, and physiological function.

Experienced Care Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine

At Well Woman Acupuncture, we offer acupuncture services that reflect a gentle, thoughtful approach to care. We practice a Traditional Chinese Medicine–style of acupuncture, using minimal needles and a light touch. Treatments are individualized and adjusted over time based on how your body responds.

What an acupuncture session is like

Each session takes place in a quiet, private treatment room, with one-on-one attention from your practitioner. Appointments are unhurried, allowing space for your body to settle and respond to treatment.

Acupuncture should not be painful. Most patients describe sensations as mild or subtle, and many rest deeply during sessions. It’s common for patients to share that treatment time becomes the most relaxing hour of their week.

The environment is intentionally calm and undisturbed, offering a setting where you can rest fully while your body receives treatment.

Our treatment style & Modalities

Our acupuncture services emphasize precision rather than intensity. We use fewer needles than many styles of acupuncture and focus on careful point selection rather than strong stimulation. In addition to acupuncture, we may incorporate complementary techniques when appropriate. These modalities are used selectively based on your symptoms, diagnosis, and response to treatment.

Electro-Stimulation (e-stim)

A gentle electrical current applied to acupuncture needles to provide consistent stimulation. E-stim is commonly used for pain and injury recovery, fertility support, and during specific phases of IVF treatment. When used, it is carefully calibrated and explained in advance.

Gua Sha and Tui Na

Hands-on techniques from Traditional Chinese Medicine. Gua sha encourages circulation through gentle skin scraping, while tui na is a therapeutic form of medical massage. These techniques may be used to support pain relief, mobility, or recovery.

Cupping Therapy

Gentle suction applied to the skin to support circulation, reduce muscle tension, and improve tissue mobility. Cupping is often used for musculoskeletal pain, tightness, or areas of restriction.

Moxibustion

A gentle warming technique using herbal heat applied to specific acupuncture points to support circulation and overall function. Moxibustion is commonly used for digestive support, immune health, and during pregnancy to support fetal positioning, including breech presentation. When used, it is applied carefully and explained in advance.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese herbal medicine is fully customized for each patient. Formulas are prescribed based on your symptoms, diagnostic patterns, and how your body is responding to treatment. Prescriptions may evolve over time as cycles shift, symptoms change, or life stages transition.

All supporting modalities are optional and are introduced only when they align with your treatment plan. Your practitioner will explain each technique and how it supports your care.
