Hi! Welcome to Wellman Acupuncture where I, Amanda Wellman offer services including Acupuncture and Gua Sha.

There are 3 main ways to work with me:

1. Life has been really stressful and you just want a relaxing, nourishing reset OR you love the idea of a natural approach to beautiful graceful aging.  If this is you, you will want to sign up for a Sculpting Facial Gua Sha Ritual. In my Sculpting Facial Gua Sha Rituals I work with nourishing botanical skin care products from Gressa Skin and Laurel Skincare. Gua Sha on the face is done with jade, amethyst, or rose quartz tools, depending on your cosmetic goals. The slow gentle strokes help to even out collagen, promote local circulation, and relax tense muscles. Read more about Gua Sha here.
2. You have a health concern and you are seeking alternatives to pharmaceuticals and surgery. If you are in this category I would suggest signing up for Acupuncture or Bodywork + Acupuncture. I have been practicing acupuncture since 2008 when I started my clinicals at AOMA & Integrative Medicine in Austin, TX. My treatment style is influenced by Claudia Citkovitz and Debra Betts, both experts on working with acupuncture in fertility & pregnancy. Rani Ayal, Kiiko Matsumoto, and Jeffrey Yuen have influenced my approach to working with autoimmunity, chronic conditions, and long Covid. A more detailed list of my trainings can be found in the About The Practitioner section.
   Classical Chinese Medicine views chronic illness as a combination of intense emotional or stressful experiences, and pathogens getting stuck in the body in latency. Both of these deplete the body’s resources, impacting health. The path to healing is in recognizing which resources need to be built back up (yang, thick yin, thin yin, blood, qi) and supporting them while releasing chronic patterns of tension. This is a process that can take time with many ups and downs as the body gradually builds back up and detoxes in the process of healing. An important note is that I do not *treat* pain. Pain is a symptom of an underlying problem that I will work with you on healing.
3. You want support in your work on subconscious beliefs, conditioning, genetic conditions, PTSD, and life transitions. Yes, there are acupuncture meridians that influence these processes! Working with them can help resolve both physical concerns as well as emotional and psychological patterns. If you are dealing with something serious it is important to do this alongside work with a counselor.
