Your gut called. It wants to have a word.
We all know that feeling. The bloating that makes you look six months pregnant after a salad. The mysterious rumbling that starts during every important meeting. The "is it something I ate or is it just... me?" spiral.
Here's the thing: your digestive system is the foundation of your entire health. In Chinese medicine, we've known this for millennia. Western science is just now catching up with all that "gut microbiome" research. Welcome to the party, science. We saved you a seat.
No judgment. Guts are weird for everybody.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome: the diagnosis that basically means "your gut is angry and we're not sure why." Good news: acupuncture IS sure why, and knows what to do about it.
You ate a normal meal and now you look like you swallowed a basketball. Let's figure out why your digestion is throwing a tantrum.
That burning feeling isn't passion for life—it's your stomach acid going the wrong direction. We can redirect traffic.
Things should be moving. If they're not, your body is sending a signal. Acupuncture helps get the trains running on schedule again.
Whether it's morning sickness, medication side effects, or your stomach just being dramatic, acupuncture is phenomenal at calming nausea.
When your body treats a piece of bread like a hostile invader, something deeper is going on. Let's strengthen your digestive system from the ground up.
(It's not all in your head. But also, kind of, it is.)
Seriously. It has more neurons than your spinal cord. It produces 90% of your serotonin. When your gut is unhappy, your whole body gets the memo. Acupuncture helps regulate this gut-brain axis, calming inflammation, improving motility, and restoring balance.
During treatment, I'll use specific acupuncture points that directly influence your digestive organs. Many patients hear their stomachs start gurgling on the table—that's a good sign! It means things are waking up and starting to move. Most people also leave feeling deeply relaxed, because fixing your gut also fixes your stress response. Two birds, tiny needles.
Maybe some tweaks, but I'm not going to hand you a list of 47 foods you can never eat again. Life's too short. We'll figure out what your specific body needs and make changes that are actually sustainable.
Many patients notice improvements within 2-3 sessions. Chronic conditions may take longer, but you should feel some positive changes pretty quickly. Your gut didn't get angry overnight, and it won't calm down overnight—but it WILL calm down.
Yes! Research shows acupuncture can significantly reduce IBS symptoms by regulating gut motility, reducing inflammation, and calming the nervous system. It's one of the conditions I see the most dramatic improvements with.
I'm an acupuncturist. I've heard it all. Literally all of it. There is nothing you can tell me about your digestive system that will shock me. Zero judgment, maximum help.

Three approaches, one mission: get your digestive system to stop staging a rebellion.
The gut whisperer
Specific points that directly influence your digestive organs, calm inflammation, regulate motility, and tell your gut-brain axis to chill out. Your stomach will probably start gurgling on the table. That's the good kind of gurgling.
