“I came in feeling exhausted, confused, and unheard. Three months later, I feel more grounded, hopeful, and in tune with my body than I have in years.”

5/5

“After struggling with sleep and hormone swings, I finally feel like myself again. Joy Wellness was a game-changer.”

"Joy's energy is vibrant and loving. She's been outstanding in her needle touches, and her knowledge of fertility acupuncture is very informative, heartwarming, and supportive!! I highly recommended her service and was sad to leave due to relocation."

"Joy and Chloe are amazing!! They have helped me through my IVF journey not only with acupuncture but support and diet tips. Joy has given me strength when I needed it and helped me focus on the positive when I was having anxiety and negativity. They truly are the best support system. Joy knows exactly what you need when you need it! I can't recommend them enough!"

"I started seeing Chloe for acupuncture in September 2022. She is kind and has a gentle touch, and she gets GREAT results! I cannot recommend her enough."

"Amazing personalized service. Joy truly cares about her patients and ensuring that all of the patients' concerns are addressed. I left with a clear treatment plan and feeling optimistic about my path to reduce pain."

"I saw Joy for Chinese Medicine treatment after experiencing more than three years of unexplained infertility and after being misdiagnosed and not listened to by western doctors. Hoping to avoid IVF, seeing Joy was my last attempt to get pregnant before moving on. I carefully followed her protocol between our weekly visits and also got personalized herbal treatments that she tweaked month to month based on my symptoms. It was a very hard time for me but she was always positive and supportive. After just three months we were finally able to conceive a healthy baby girl! I strongly credit Joy and her treatments for being able to conceive and carry a healthy babe. My pregnancy was uneventful and I went back to Joy to get assistance with inducing labor—which worked and helped me avoid a medical induction! I'm very thankful for her treatments and feel it was more than worth the money we spent. Infertility is a rough thing to go through to say the least but I was so glad to have Joy on my team. I plan on going back to her for health maintenance and any future women's health issues I may encounter. Joy helps couples make babies!"

"I've been receiving acupuncture from Chloe and Joy for about 6 weeks and I absolutely love them both! They are both very knowledgeable, comforting, approachable, warm, caring, and gentle. They have helped improve my sleep immensely! My anxiety and stress has also greatly improved. I've never tried acupuncture before and I'm so glad that I did! I highly recommend coming to Joy Wellness + Fertility for your health and wellness needs, I promise you won't regret it."

"It is a true honor to be Joy's patient. Joy is an amazing woman, with an incredible amount of knowledge in acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She was able to recommend some very helpful herbs and changes to my diet to improve my overall health. Having acupuncture done with Joy is such a blissful and zen-like experience. I always walk out of the office feeling as though I am floating in clouds."

"This is THE woman to come to for women's health issues. She's a gold mine of information not only about acupuncture and herbs, but she has such a deep understanding of diet and nutrition as well. She's so knowledgeable about Chinese medicine and has spent her career cultivating her specialized knowledge."

"I've been seeing Joy for several months now, on a weekly basis, to treat PMDD, as well as CPTSD. PMDD is a mood disorder that aligns with the menstrual cycle. I often come in totally in tears due to my fluctuating hormones and some stress factors in my life. Joy is always very receptive and holds the perfect kind of space for me. Even when I'm too depressed and don't feel like going or talking to anyone, I make myself and am always glad I did. Joy takes the time to truly listen to me about my concerns, and honors my intuitive gifts. She never tries to convince me that I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to MY body. She always encourages me and lets me know that I'm valued, not only as a client, but as a person overall. I feel like I get a whole therapy session in addition to the acupuncture. Joy's insight and compassion are integral to my healing process at the moment. I have a really hard time finding practitioners who can handle the complexity of what I deal with in terms of my health. I will genuinely miss my time with Joy when I move away from Tempe. I would recommend her to everyone and feel her work has kept my symptoms from sinking me to rock bottom, especially during the pandemic. Thank you for all you've done for me, Joy. I have learned SO much from you and am so grateful I was recommended to you. I hope anyone reading this chooses you as their practitioner. Everyone deserves to have space held for them like you've held for me."

"The very spirit and energy that Joy brings to her practice is healing in itself. She is warm, genuine and attentive to her patients and their needs! The atmosphere is incredibly relaxing and inviting. My overworked and under-stretched muscles felt relief after my very first treatment. Her knowledge and intuition helped to target the precise problem areas that caused me stiffness and discomfort. I highly recommend her!"

"Joy is an outstanding, caring, and knowledgeable person! She provides such a relaxing and calming environment. Joy truly goes above and beyond caring for patients! "

"Joy and her practice was exactly what my body and soul needed during a time of immense stress, imbalance, and infertility. She truly treats the whole person - physically and emotionally. I loved her combination of acupuncture, herbs, supplements, and diet recommendations. Before seeing her, I suffered severe hair loss from progesterone supplements, and her herbal recommendations and acupuncture helped me quickly improve. I also saw several cycle improvements which is so encouraging. I was consistently blown away by her deep knowledge of eastern medicine as well as how to include western medicine when appropriate. I recommend Joy to everyone, and I'm so thankful to have met her! "
