Megan Joyce, LAc FABORM

I'm a licensed acupuncturist and functional medicine practitioner specializing in women's health, fertility, and integrative family care. For over sixteen years, I've dedicated my life's work to understanding the root causes of what keeps people from feeling well: from hormonal imbalance and fertility struggles to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the health of a whole family. I'm based in San Juan Capistrano, where I offer in-person Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine at Mind Body Wellness Center. I also offer fully virtual Functional Medicine programs for patients throughout California.

My path into this work began studying bio-psychology, and the fascination in the mind-body connection has never left me. I believe the most powerful healing addresses not just a person’s symptoms, but also the emotions and experiences surrounding their health. Every plan I create is fully customized, including functional medicine testing, herbal medicine, neutraceuticals, and dietary and lifestyle counseling. For patients who come in person, acupuncture sessions can also include acupressure, ear seeds, gua sha, cupping, and moxibustion… all time-honored practices that help restore balance and support the body's natural ability to heal.

It would be my honor to walk part of this path with you.

Why this work is personal

I naturally reversed my own infertility due to PCOS/PMOS, an experience that shaped everything about how I practice and led to the greatest joy of my life, my two children.

I believe fertility is something we support rather than force, and that my work is not only to help people get pregnant, but to help them thrive through pregnancy and into parenthood. Knowing firsthand how isolating and overwhelming fertility challenges can be, I bring both clinical expertise and deep empathy to every person I work with.

The Joyce Wellness Approach

Every care plan is built entirely around the individual, always holistic, always personalized, and always rooted in a deep respect for the whole person.

01

Listen deeply

Every patient begins with a thorough, unhurried conversation about their full health history, their goals, and what has and hasn’t worked before.

02

Treat the whole person

A care plan drawing from the full spectrum of Traditional Chinese Medicine and functional medicine, addressing root causes rather than isolated symptoms.

03

Walk alongside you

Care that evolves as your body, your needs, and your life change, with support at every stage of the journey. You are never left to navigate the path on your own.

Kind Words

  • "She is a miracle worker – and not just for fertility."

    Megan has been one of the biggest blessings of my life. I now have two beautiful little ones because of her support – – really. She is a miracle worker – and not just for fertility. I have counted on her, even recently, to help me get through a cold season because I had gotten sick four times within three months. Once I started seeing her again, I am proud to say, I haven’t been since! I could go on and on about her, but I will leave you with this: Too few in this world are lucky enough to encounter people like Megan. I could not recommend her more highly.

  • "her care and in-depth knowledge has definitely helped me get pregnant"

    I saw Megan for about 2 years as I was trying to get pregnant with my second child. I miscarried once, but she helped me get pregnant again. I believe that her care and in-depth knowledge has definitely helped me get pregnant. In every appointment, she always gave me her full attention and was always very calm and nurturing. She inspired me to be calm as well. I just gave birth to a healthy girl last month and I am so grateful and thankful to Megan for all that she's done. I would recommend her to anyone who's looking to get pregnant. She's awesome!!!

  • "You are really what I was looking for"

    Most importantly, I am forever grateful to you, Megan. We have been literally trying for 4 years now with no clarity on what was happening in my body. You are really what I was looking for "The Answers". We love you. God bless you and your family!

  • "I cannot say enough great things about her practice and her ability to heal"

    I can honestly say that without Megan I would not be living a full life. After only a few treatments along with Megan's knowledge of herbs and nutrition, my health improved drastically. Her treatments cover a myriad of issues at once so you will always leave her office with every concern addressed and treated. Megan is extremely professional, reliable and punctual. She is thorough and pays great attention to detail and makes each patient feel important and never lost in the shuffle. If you are suffering from any condition that has taken over the quality of your life and seems unmanageable, I urge you to make an appointment with Megan. You will be so glad that you did. I cannot say enough great things about her practice and her ability to heal. Thank you Megan for making such a difference in my health and my life!

  • "compassionate care and approach to wellness"

    I have been seeing Megan for 3+ years and I can't recommend her highly enough! She has helped me tremendously with several health issues and I always find such comfort in her compassionate care and approach to wellness. I have come to find that I now prefer to see Megan before going to my primary care physician as her treatments and recommendations are often more helpful and in line with my personal preferences. She is also just a lovely person and wonderful to talk to -- not a common find in traditional health care settings these days!

  • "extremely attentive and makes you feel so comfortable"

    I can't say enough good things about Megan Joyce. I saw her when I was trying to get pregnant and all throughout my pregnancy. She is extremely attentive and makes you feel so comfortable in her care. She listens to your needs, addresses them and always follows up. I have referred several people to her and all of them have been very happy with her services.

  • "I just trust you so wholeheartedly!"

    I have severe white coat syndrome after all my years of fighting for diagnoses (both with my heart and Endometriosis) that I just have no trust and a lot of fear about being led down the wrong path. I truly second guess everything a doctor tells me or advice they give me and I follow it up with a ton of research and reaching out to the groups I’m in. But I noticed I don’t have that with you. There is something about the relationship we’ve built where I just trust you so wholeheartedly! I have so much faith and trust in all the advice you have for me and my health journey and just wanted to share how unique that is for my trauma and my journey. So I cannot put into words how special that is to me to have someone I trust so much in my corner ♥️

  • "She closely walked with me for 2 of my pregnancies and I delivered 2 healthy babies!"

    Megan is amazing! My husband and I struggled with infertility. I started seeing her November of 2014 after finding out both of my fallopian tubes were blocked. She took all of my medical history down, came up with a plan and said give her 3 months as I was preparing for IVF. By February of 2015 I found out I was pregnant naturally. She closely walked with me for 2 of my pregnancies and I delivered 2 healthy babies!
