Family Wellness

Holistic, personalized care for the whole family.

Supporting families has become one of the greatest joys of my practice. After helping hundreds of women conceive and deliver healthy babies, it has been a natural and deeply meaningful extension of my work to care for the littlest members of those families as well.

I believe family health is never just about treating isolated symptoms. It is about understanding the unique interplay of each person’s biology, environment, lifestyle, and emotional wellbeing, while also recognizing how closely connected the health of one family member can be to the health of the whole household.

Through a functional and integrative approach, I help families look deeper, uncover root causes, and create personalized care plans that support lasting wellness.

The children are a girl with curly hair and a girl with straight hair. The woman has long dark hair, and one girl has long wavy hair, another has shorter curly hair, and the third girl has straight hair with bangs.

I work with patients of all ages, including:

  • Infants and newborns

  • Children and adolescents

  • Young girls navigating their first menstrual cycles

  • Partners and spouses of fertility patients

  • Same-sex couples and non-binary patients

  • Postpartum mothers and their growing families

  • Adults seeking a more integrative approach to health and wellness

This area of my practice is especially well suited for families looking for a more root-cause, integrative alternative to conventional pediatric and family care, or for those who want to complement their existing care with a more holistic perspective.

What to Expect

Your family wellness journey at Joyce Wellness begins with a comprehensive initial consultation. During this first step, I take an in-depth look at your health history, current concerns, environment, lifestyle, and goals. When I am working with children or multiple members of a household, I also consider the broader family context to better understand shared patterns and underlying factors that may be affecting overall wellbeing.

From there, I may recommend functional testing to help uncover root causes and better understand what is contributing to symptoms or health concerns. Depending on your needs, this may include:

  • Blood work and other functional lab testing

  • Organic acid testing

  • Stool testing

  • Nutritional and metabolic assessments

  • Hormonal or inflammatory markers, when relevant

Using these findings, I create a highly personalized care plan that may include nutritional guidance, targeted supplements, herbal medicine, lifestyle counseling, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to support long-term health and wellness.

For babies and children, I offer especially gentle, supportive care using non-needle techniques that stimulate acupressure points on the body. This can be helpful for concerns such as immune issues, sleep difficulties, and digestive imbalances. I also teach parents simple ways to support their children at home through touch-based techniques, massage, and essential oils.

Functional Medicine Care

Appointments are offered virtually, making this care accessible to families throughout California.

For those local to Orange County, in-person Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) appointments may also be incorporated when appropriate to provide a more integrative experience. These sessions may include acupuncture, herbal medicine, and supportive therapies such as acupressure, ear seeds, gua sha, and cupping.

    “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!!!”

    “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 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 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 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!”

    “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.”
