from symptom relief to lasting Change
We combine acupuncture and targeted nutritional therapy to address the deeper imbalances behind your symptoms so you can feel better and stay better.
start here: Your First Visit
Every new patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation designed to uncover what’s really driving your symptoms.
During your first visit, we take time to understand your full health history and assess patterns in your body using tools like AcuGraph meridian assessment and, when appropriate, Nutritional Deficiency Screening (NDS). These insights allow us to identify underlying imbalances that may be contributing to fatigue, hormone disruption, digestive issues, inflammation, or pain.
Shortly after your initial visit, we schedule a dedicated Review of Findings appointment where we walk you through your results and outline a personalized plan for moving forward.
For most patients, that plan includes a combination of acupuncture and targeted nutritional therapy to help the body restore balance and function more optimally over time.
The Three Levels of Care
Healing can happen at different depths.
At Nola Family Acupuncture, we think about care in three distinct phases:
Relief Care
Focused on reducing immediate symptoms.
You may feel better temporarily, but without addressing underlying imbalances, symptoms often return.
Corrective Care
Designed to restore function and stability.
This is where acupuncture and targeted nutritional therapy work together over time to strengthen the body and create more lasting change.
For many patients, Corrective Care becomes the foundation of their healing journey. It typically unfolds over four to five months, allowing the body time to stabilize, rebuild, and respond to consistent support.
Emperor’s Medicine
The highest level of care in classical Chinese medicine.
Historically developed in the emperor’s court, this approach focused on longevity, vitality, and resilience, not just symptom relief.
It includes acupuncture, herbs, nutritional therapy, lifestyle refinement, and deeper functional insight for those who want to optimize long-term health.
During your Review of Findings visit, we will help you determine which level of care best supports your goals and long-term vision for your health.

Using acupuncture (or acupressure), applied kinesiology, and energy balancing, Erin Kenning’s NAET treatments provide lasting relief from food, seasonal, environmental, and chemical allergies.
IVF Support Acupuncture
IVF can be a stressful and challenging journey, but acupuncture provides a natural way to enhance your chances of success. Erin Kenning’s IVF Support Acupuncture focuses on improving blood flow to the reproductive organs, balancing hormones, and alleviating stress, all of which work together to increase the effectiveness of your IVF.

Unresolved emotions can create energetic imbalances that contribute to stress, anxiety, and even physical discomfort. Emotion Code Therapy works to release these trapped emotions, restoring balance and promoting a greater sense of well-being. For in-person clients, sessions include acupuncture to enhance emotional and physical healing.
