Still flaring - even after meds, diets, and doing everything right?
We help people with Crohn's Disease reduce urgency, pain, and flare cycles by treating the systems driving inflammation with evidence based, integrative medicine treatments.
If you have Crohn's Disease, you've probably been told "this is chronic. You're just going to have to manage it."
​
That's what most providers say.
​
We say - "You don't have to live with it. You're not broken - your systems are just dysregulated. And we can change that."
​
We combine ancient healing techniques from East Asia with modern immunological insight to provide people living with Crohn's Disease lasting relief, and even remission.

Start Your Crohn's Disease Gut Recovery:
60 Minute Initial Consultation (In Person or Online)
End Crohn's Disease Flare Ups
Pain. Fatigue. Urgency. Then it all starts again.
​
You know all too well what it means to flare:
​
-
Cramping and bleeding
-
Urgency that controls your day
-
Fatigue that never lifts
-
Weight loss, food fear, worry
-
Joint pain, rashes, and other inflammatory symptoms
​
You've tried it all:
​
-
Meds, steroids, immunosuppressants
-
Elimination diets and cleanses
-
Supplements and probiotics
​
But none of it works. After all that, you're still miserable and flaring.
​​​​
​Our mission is to empower you to break free from Crohn's Disease. so you can rediscover a life full of energy, vitality, and possibility.
​
We do that by treating the root pattern of gut-brain-immune dysregulation that is causing you to flare.
​​
What Makes Us Different
Why hasn't anyone else explained this to me, or been able to help?
​
Because most doctors just try to suppress inflammation. We treat the underlying pattern.
​​
Crohn's Disease isn't just a gut problem. It's a collapse in communication between your gut microbiota, your immune system, and your nervous system.
​
The medications they give you for Crohn's Disease are suppressive: they are designed to shut down the immune system.
​
These can absolutely help in a crisis.
But they don’t treat the underlying causes: they don’t rebuild communication between your gut, immune system, and nervous system.
​
And so, they don't really solve your problem.
​
What we do is different.
​
​We track:
​​
-
Gut-Brain-Immune Connection
-
Microbiome Composition
-
Immune Flare Up Feedback Loops
​​​​
Based on that, we come up with a Crohn's Disease treatment plan that's personalized to your body's condition, and tailored to fit your life.
​
We rebalance these systems in the proper order using natural methods:
​
-
Neuromodulation and anti-inflammation with acupuncture
-
Microbiota regulation and gut tissue regeneration with botanicals
-
Whole system harmony with breathwork and movement
​
This breaks the cycle of Crohn's Disease flare ups, stabilizes the immune system, heals the gut lining, and gets you back to smooth bowel regularity.
​
​​​​​Unlike most alternative medicine and wellness providers, we do this with precision and without guesswork - relying on methods that are thousands of years old and also have decades of research backing their use.
​
Most acupuncture focuses on muscle tension and stress. But at Empowered You Acupuncture, we specialize in advanced techniques for inflammatory bowel disease, which requires deeper, more systemic regulation.
We use the full set of Eastern Medicine practices - botanical medicine, breathwork, seasonal attunement - beyond acupuncture to bring you relief and into lasting remission.
​​
If you've been to acupuncturists who helped you relax, but didn't resolve anything, this is different.
​
This is real medicine for the root patterns behind Crohn's Disease.
​
​
