Our Focus

We are looking at all aspects of your health and its impact on your whole being. We have what you've been looking for, whether you're feeling stuck or looking to maintain a state of good health. In a noisy world, we've created a team and modalities to address the specific needs of our entire community.

Whole Body Care

Optimizing your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual body involves a cohesive set of integrative services. Addressing your health 'wholistically' is empowering as you begin to move beyond chronic health concerns and to a feeling of wellbeing.

Fertility & Family Building For All

A complete approach to fertility for men & women, during pre-conception, pregnancy, and beyond. Patients who take an active role in their healing process find that there are ways to help themselves improve their fertility; both when trying naturally and IVF.

Healthy Hormone Balance

As our bodies change, our hormones fluctuate and can create symptoms that can affect our quality of life. We help teens, men, and women learn how to find balance in these times of change.

Lauren W. - 46 years old

“I really committed to the process and to self-care. I did acupuncture every week, took herbs, and recommended supplements; I incorporated The Seed Program… and worked with Danica and multiple practitioners in her office -- everyone was so great and supportive. In the end, we’ll never know what made the difference; I think it was the combination of everything that helped me have this healthy pregnancy.”
