Jeanne supports patients across a wide range of digestive presentations, including:

• Bloating and gas, especially after meals

• Sluggish or irregular bowel function

• Constipation and loose stools — including alternating patterns

• Indigestion, fullness, and post-meal discomfort

• Acid reflux and heartburn (see also Acupuncture for GERD & Reflux)

• IBS and IBD — including flares and chronic inflammation (see also Acupuncture for IBS & IBD)

• Food sensitivities and reactivity that have crept in over time

• Stress-driven digestion and gut-brain dysregulation

• Nausea and appetite changes

• Digestive symptoms tied to hormonal cycles, sleep, or chronic stress

Bodies are wise — they want to be efficient. We can identify exactly where the imbalances lie and systematically work to address them. Bloated and uncomfortable after almost every meal? Acupuncture can support motility and ease the patterns that slow digestion down. Stress hitting your gut before it hits anywhere else? We work on the nervous system and the vagal pathways that connect the brain to the gut. Bowel habits that swing between extremes? Acupuncture can help regulate the rhythm and bring the system back to a steadier middle.

What distinguishes this practice from most is the degree to which treatment is individualized. There is no standard digestive protocol here. Jeanne draws on her extensive training in different acupuncture styles and bodywork techniques, and selects her approach based on what each person's body presents. She'll also look beyond the gut. Sleep, stress, hormonal patterns, posture, and emotional load all shape digestion, and digestion in turn shapes nearly everything else. Where it's useful, Jeanne will discuss food and lifestyle context — not as a prescribed diet, but as part of the larger picture of what's helping or hindering your gut. This work is meant to sit alongside your medical care, not replace it; if you're working with a gastroenterologist or have an active workup underway, acupuncture supports that process. We'll work on healing your body at the deepest levels, to show it the way back into balance. Your body wants to be healthy, balanced, and thriving. We remind it how to get there, and give you simple steps to keep it there.

1. Reach out

Share your general availability and, if you'd like, a brief note about what you're experiencing. You'll hear back to schedule your first session.

2. First session

The intake appointment is longer than a regular visit. It begins with a conversation about your digestive history — symptoms, patterns, triggers, any current medical workup or treatment — along with how your body is feeling more broadly: sleep, stress, energy, cycles. Pulse diagnosis and palpation help shape an initial treatment plan, followed by your first acupuncture treatment. You'll leave with a clear sense of the approach and what to expect going forward.

3. Course of treatment

Most patients come weekly to start. Each session includes acupuncture and may include bodywork or manual therapy, depending on what your body needs that day. Digestive symptoms often shift early; deeper changes — to motility, sensitivity, and the gut-brain pattern — accumulate over a series of visits.

4. As improvements take hold

As digestion stabilizes, visits can gradually space out — from weekly to every other week, then monthly or as needed. Many patients return periodically when symptoms flare with stress, travel, or seasonal change.
