Support healing, regulation, and whole-body balance with Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine

In-person care for patients in Orange County, California

Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine have been practiced for thousands of years, built on the understanding that the body functions as an interconnected whole.

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this approach reads them together, because what looks like several unrelated complaints is often one pattern showing up in several places. During treatment, very fine, sterile, single-use needles are placed at specific points to support circulation, regulate the nervous system, and encourage your body's natural healing response.

Sessions go beyond acupuncture alone. Depending on what your body needs that day, treatment may also include acupressure, ear seeds, gua sha, moxibustion, and cupping, all included at no additional charge, with herbal medicine recommended when appropriate.

What Acupuncture and TCM Can Support

Acupuncture and TCM can be used on their own or alongside a virtual Functional Medicine or fertility program, depending on what your care calls for.

  • Fertility and reproductive health

  • Hormonal imbalance and irregular cycles

  • Prenatal and postpartum support

  • Perimenopause and menopause

  • Stress, anxiety, and emotional wellbeing

  • Sleep disruption and insomnia

  • Pain management

  • Digestive health

  • Immune support and general wellness

  • Pediatric and whole-family care

Embryo Transfer Acupuncture

For select patients undergoing IVF, I also offer embryo transfer acupuncture before and after transfer. This treatment is designed to support relaxation, regulate the nervous system, and help patients feel more grounded and supported on a day that can often feel both exciting and nerve-wracking.

When possible, I join patients at the fertility clinic to provide this care in person, offering an added layer of support during an important step in the fertility journey.

    “I really enjoyed my whole first experience with Megan Joyce. My first of many future appointments with her was for my infant whom she cared for so well. She is very good with small children, I am so grateful for this. This woman is extremely sweet, patient, and pays attention to detail. I was more than impressed by the cleanliness and therapeutic feel her office gave off. I appreciate doctors like Joyce. Keep curing xo.”

    “… I started working with Megan and immediately felt a sense of understanding and support from her. We started with acupuncture and herbal medicine and later in my time working with her she explored functional medicine therapies to assist me. She is extremely knowledgeable about the hormonal physiology necessary for fertility and pregnancy. She adapted her approach to my comfort level with different treatments, always listened to how I was feeling and took that into account into my treatment plan. Her treatments also helped to reduce the stress associated with this challenging journey. She is a beautiful soul and it's been such a blessing for me to be able to work with someone who truly cares about her patients and their families. My husband and I will forever be grateful to her.”

    “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 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!”

    “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!!!”

    “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!”

    “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!”

    “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.”
