Testimonials

  • Fertility

    “I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough - especially if you are wanting support with fertility and pregnancy. Jennifer has helped me with so many things over the past decade, but the most profound support I received from her was when I wanted to have a baby. I was 39 and we took half a year to gently prepare my body for this huge transformation—and it worked! Once I felt ready, I conceived right away. Being pregnant and giving birth are both hard even when it all goes smoothly — but to have them both go so smoothly was such an incredible experience. I’m forever grateful for Jennifer and her blend of sensitivity, skill, presence, and knowledge”

    -Jocelyn M, Asheville, NC

  • Stress & Anxiety

    Jennifer is amazing! She is knowledge, caring, and very gentle. I made my initial appointment to focus on stress and anxiety that I was starting to experience. I left my first session so relaxed, and amazed and how calm I felt afterwards. Regular sessions led us to focus on other issues like physical tension I was carrying in my upper body, as well as hormonal imbalances. I became a regular client, and my visits became my favorite time to relax and unwind.

    -Amanda M, Asheville, NC

  • Pain Relief

    I highly recommend Jennifer Welder. I came to her with pain from running injury over two years ago and continue to work with her for the deeper healing I've found. She is gifted in listening, meeting me where I am, and giving "good medicine" with care and respect. Her approach is gentle and holistic, and she shares insights from her practice in ways I can understand and take away with me. I've learned so much about myself and how healing comes from opening channels between the mind, body and spirit through acupuncture and the deep listening she models and encourages.

Empowering

I believe in the innate wisdom of your body and its capacity to heal. My role is to help you reconnect with that inner knowing—through thoughtful guidance, clear education, and personalized support. In our work together, I’ll help you understand what’s happening in your body, offer lifestyle and nutrition suggestions, and share herbal or self-care tools tailored to your needs. This way, you leave each session not only more balanced, but more informed, resourced, and confident in your path.

Integrative

At the heart of my work is a reverence for the full spectrum of healing—the quiet power of intuition, mind-body-spirit support, and the available models of western care.

Whether you’re working with reproductive endocrinologists or choosing another path, I’m here to help you tune in to your body’s signals and offer personalized support that honors all parts of you.

Inclusive

Holisitic care here includes a deep respect and care for LGBTQ+ families, and this practice is a welcoming space for people of all backgrounds, body sizes, spiritual paths, ethnicities, and races.

When I say “women’s health,” I’m honoring the experiences of all people—of all gender identities—who are moving through the world with wombs, hormonal cycles, and the unique challenges that come with them.

FAQ

  • This depends on your specific condition, how long it has been present, and your body’s unique response to treatment. In general, acute conditions (like a recent injury or short-term stress) may respond well to 4–6 weekly treatments. Chronic or more complex conditions—such as fertility challenges, hormonal imbalances, long-standing pain, or emotional concerns—often require a longer course of care, typically beginning with weekly sessions for 10-12 weeks.

    For fertility support, we usually work in weekly alignment with your cycle, and treatment length can depend on whether you’re trying naturally or working with IUI/IVF. Many people continue with biweekly or monthly maintenance sessions after their initial plan to support long-term balance and wellbeing.

    We'll discuss a clear treatment plan together during your first visit, and I’ll check in with you regularly to ensure your care stays aligned with your goals and progress.

  • All current rates and appointment options can be found on my online booking page. Pricing may vary slightly depending on the type of service and length of visit.

  • Most people find acupuncture very relaxing. The needles are extremely thin—about the width of a human hair—and most insertions cause little to no discomfort. Many patients even fall asleep during their treatment!

  • Your first appointment includes a detailed intake where we’ll discuss your health history, current concerns, and goals. You’ll receive an acupuncture treatment and we may also talk about herbal medicine, lifestyle shifts, or other supportive care. The space is calm, cozy, and designed to help you feel at ease.
