Caring for the whole person: body, mind, and inner balance

We support a wide range of health concerns using an integrative approach that blends Chinese Medicine, Functional Medicine, and genetics—caring for the whole person: body, mind, and inner balance, never the diagnosis alone.

We work with both adults and children, and we are especially helpful when symptoms are persistent, confusing, or affecting multiple systems at once. Below are some of the areas we most commonly support:

health conditions we support

At Dr. Patten’s Center for Holistic Wellness, we care for a variety of health conditions:

  • Reflux, IBS, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, Candida, parasites, Crohn’s disease, colitis, and food sensitivities.

    We blend functional lab insights with targeted diet plans, acupuncture, and personalized herbal medicine to calm inflammation, strengthen the gut lining, support digestion, and restore whole-body balance from the inside out.

  • Headaches, migraines, neck and back pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, nerve pain, cramps, and sports injuries.

    Acupuncture is a safe and effective approach for pain relief, particularly for neck, back, and musculoskeletal conditions. It improves circulation, relaxes muscles, and calms the nervous system, while Functional Medicine helps uncover deeper drivers that may be contributing to chronic or recurring pain.

  • Allergies, asthma, sinus infections, chronic congestion, frequent colds, lingering cough, recurrent infections, post-viral symptoms, and immune weakness.

    Acupuncture gently supports immune balance and helps calm inflammation that drives many respiratory symptoms. Herbal medicine, nutrition, and targeted supplementation further support immunity and help build long-term immune resilience.

  • UTIs, frequent urination, interstitial cystitis, prostate concerns and vaginal dryness or atrophy.

    I offer gentle, effective care that addresses both immediate symptoms and the underlying imbalances contributing to recurrent or chronic issues.

  • Cold hands and feet, poor circulation, elevated cholesterol, and inflammation-related vascular concerns.

    By integrating Eastern and Western approaches, we support healthy circulation, oxygen delivery, and vascular function while addressing inflammation and other underlying contributions that impact long-term cardiovascular health.

  • Anxiety, stress, depression, insomnia, racing thoughts, mood swings, fatigue, and brain fog.

    Acupuncture powerfully calms the nervous system and improves sleep and emotional regulation. Functional testing and genetics can uncover hidden contributors to nervous system dysregulation, including gut imbalances, hormonal shifts, nutrient deficiencies, and chronic inflammation.

  • Hormones are one of my greatest passions—because when hormones are off, everything feels off.

    Women’s Hormones
    Painful or irregular periods, PMS/PMDD, hormonal acne, endometriosis, fibroids, heavy bleeding, and perimenopause symptoms.

    Thyroid & Adrenal Support
    Fatigue, brain fog, stubborn weight changes, cold intolerance, sleep disturbances, stress burnout, and even heart palpitations. We look deeper than “normal labs” to understand what’s truly happening and support you gently with lifestyle, nutrition, and targeted supplementation.

    Men’s Hormones
    Low energy, low libido, poor sleep, mood changes, and stress-related symptoms—addressed with a whole-body, root-cause approach.

  • Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, mood changes, brain fog, weight changes, and vaginal dryness.

    Support includes acupuncture, targeted testing when appropriate, and a long-term plan that protects what matters most during this transition: bone health, cardiovascular health, metabolism, cognitive vitality, and emotional wellbeing.

  • Fertility and pregnancy care is a special clinical focus of mine. I support cycle health, hormonal balance, fertility optimization, and pregnancy wellness with gentle, strategic care tailored to each stage of the journey.

  • Chronic stealth or latent infections

  • Ongoing inflammation and immune dysregulation

  • Gut dysfunction and nutrient depletion

  • Genetic vulnerabilities

  • Psycho-emotional factors—an essential and often overlooked piece of the healing process. In fact, this is often where we begin; otherwise, improvement won’t be lasting.

Do you feel like a medical mystery? You’re not alone!

When symptoms don’t add up or keep returning despite treatment, we take a deeper look and peel back the layers, one by one. I look for hidden drivers such as:

  • Mast cell activation, histamine intolerance, and oxalate issues

  • Environmental toxicity, including mold exposure, heavy metals, and chemical burden

This type of work requires patience, consistency, and partnership — but when the right drivers are addressed, the body can begin to regulate, recover, and the results can be truly life-changing.
