Our Philosophy

We offer individualized treatment for people who ask a lot of their bodies.


We view the body as an integrated system - where pain, dysfunction, and visible signs of aging reflect deeper patterns shaped by movement, stress, compensation, and overall health.


Our approach blends orthopedic acupuncture, dry needling, cosmetic acupuncture, manual therapies, and holistic health strategies into sessions that are personalized, unhurried, and results-driven.

Today I had an accupunture session with Josette and it was amazing. Her gentle touch, care ,and concern for my well being did not go unnoticed. Josette's proficiency, professionalism, and kindness are 5 stars across the board. I highly recommend Megan Richardson Wellness for any and all health concerns.

Once again, I had an excellent acupuncture session with Megan. She sensitively listens to me describe my ailments, and expertly responds with a combination of acupuncture, massage, and other techniques to soothe my discomfort. I left her office feeling fantastic. I will be back.
