Whether you are seeking fertility support for same-sex couples or need assistance in navigating the trauma caused by discrimination, we are here to support you every step of the way.
Acupuncture for LGBTQIA2+
We believe that LGBTQIA2+ individuals deserve comprehensive and inclusive healthcare that acknowledges their specific needs. Our practitioners are experienced in working with individuals across the diverse spectrum of gender identities, sexual orientations, and expressions. We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable discussing your health concerns openly and without judgment.
Acupuncture, one of the many integrative medicine modalities we offer, has been shown to have numerous benefits for LGBTQIA2+ health. Here are some of the symptoms and conditions commonly experienced within the community that can be positively impacted through acupuncture:

Hormonal Imbalance
Acupuncture can help regulate hormone levels, supporting overall hormonal balance and addressing specific concerns related to hormone fluctuations experienced by LGBTQIA2+ individuals.

Stress
Acupuncture has been shown to reduce stress levels and promote relaxation, offering a valuable tool for managing the unique stressors faced by the LGBTQIA2+ community.

Anxiety and Depression
Studies have shown that acupuncture can effectively reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression by stimulating the release of endorphins and promoting a sense of relaxation and well-being.

Trauma
Acupuncture can be a supportive therapy for individuals who have experienced trauma, helping to address symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, and emotional distress. It can assist in promoting a sense of safety, grounding, and overall well-being.
