Acupuncture & Holistic Medicine
A quieter kind of medicine.
Acupuncture and holistic care that listens before it treats and walks alongside you. You'll be met at the pace your body is actually ready for, and leave with practical tools to keep healing between visits.
Listening-first care for people who want to be heard before they're treated. Mentor-led. Tools you can take home.

❋ things patients say they feel when they leave.
I dropped in. I was seen. I came back to myself.
I'm calmer. I'm clearer. I have what I need.
Most clinics are loud.
This one isn't.
Most medical rooms are loud in the ways that matter. Fluorescent lights. A rushed intake. A practitioner doing most of the talking. A protocol handed down before anyone really listened.
This practice was built as the opposite of that. Dr. Shanna Ball has spent twenty years inside holistic health — yoga, nutrition, fitness, bodywork — and the last several deepening into acupuncture. She listens before she treats. She walks alongside her patients as a mentor, not above them. And every plan she builds includes practical tools you can use at home — between sessions, between visits, between everything else life is asking of you.
There's one pathway here. A discovery conversation if you want one. An intensive first visit. A treatment partnership shaped to what your body is actually asking for.
How I Help
Six areas the practice works in most often. Most patients move across several of them over time — the body rarely stays in one lane.
// Sleep // Falling asleep. Staying asleep. The 3 a.m. wake-up. Sleep medications that haven't worked or have come with side effects. When sleep returns, much else returns with it.
// Women's Health & Fertility // Cycle support. Fertility preparation and IUI/IVF support. Perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal balance. Postpartum recovery. Care that treats your whole system — not just the symptom you came in for.
// Nervous System & Stress // Chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, fatigue, the wired-and-tired loop. Acupuncture and lifestyle work to bring the nervous system out of constant alert and into the kind of rest where the body can actually heal.
// Pain Relief & Recovery // Acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, headaches, sciatica, sports and overuse patterns. Pain that conventional care has named but not resolved.
// Digestive Health & Nutrition // Bloating, IBS patterns, food sensitivities, the gut-mind connection. Master's-level nutrition guidance built into practical, sustainable changes — not another thirty-day cleanse.
// Integrative & Preventive Care // Maintenance, immune resilience, longevity, hormonal balance over decades. The kind of regular care that keeps you out of crisis rather than waiting for one.
Why patients choose this practice
She listens more than she talks.
The first treatment is the conversation. Patients are invited to speak, ask, adjust, push back. Your body knows things. The job is to hear them.
The toolkit is wide.
Acupuncture is the clinical anchor. Around it: holistic nutrition, integrated bodywork, cupping, gua sha, yoga and movement guidance, essential oils, and lifestyle counsel built from twenty years of practice.
You leave with tools.
Plans are honest, paced, and include practical self-care you can use at home. Healing happens between sessions too — not just on the treatment table.
