Services
At Balanced Thistle, we've curated a team of clinicians that are invested in YOU. Each of our team members has an insatiable thirst for knowledge, a nerdy love of learning, great appreciation for laughter, and a deep, innate desire to help. It's who we are, and it's what we do. Dr. Meghan is a Colorado native who loves wildflowers, blueberries, snow angels, and campfire cook-outs with her hubs.
Please note that an acupuncturist views your body from a completely different perspective than your medical doctor. Being whole body medicine, we look at individual aspects of your health with a wider, interconnected lens. As a result, an acupuncturist can treat a vast array of conditions, from pain and muscle spasms, to fertility, digestion, stress, and even things along the lines of "something feels a little off" and "blah."
Our wellness services have paved the way for beauty options like you're never known or experienced before. Results show improved well-being and vitality with genuinely stunning beauty results including clearer skin, unmatchable glow, and incredible confidence! The team at Balanced Thistle hopes to help you both look and feel your absolute best.
Yoni Steaming, also known as V-Steaming or vaginal steaming, is an ancient technique still used around the world to address gynecological issues and vaginal and uterine health. It's currently one of the top requested alternative health services in the U.S. and rapidly growing in popularity.
Yoni steaming at Balanced Thistle includes a personalized health history with a highly trained medical herbalist, a unique-to-you Chinese Medicine pattern diagnosis, and an herbal formula specific to your individual gynecological concerns.This service is offered as a stand-alone service or better yet- pair it with acupuncture to optimize your hormonal health!.

The lymphatic system consists of 500-600 lymph nodes as well as our tonsils, bone marrow, spleen, and thymus gland. This system is a crucial part of our immune function as it circulates fluids and nutrients and filters out toxins. Lymph nodes are areas where lymph fluid collects, and of them are located above the shoulders.

I cannot say enough about the powerful women that make up the Balanced Thistle team. The kindness, care and compassion each practitioner brings to each appointment is unmatched. I am so grateful to have found this incredible clinic just weeks before being diagnosed with breast cancer and I wholeheartedly believe I wouldn’t have found better supportive care anywhere else. Thank you Dr. Meghan for being amazing and creating such an incredible space. Thank you Kandie and Samantha for always being so amazing appointment after appointment and thank you Sara for being incredibly kind and helpful. Balanced

Balanced Thistle provides an awesome variety of alternative health services, from acupuncture to lymphatic massage, facials & more. I've visited twice for a full body lymphatic reset and then a jaw massage this year and have thoroughly enjoyed & benefitted from both visits!
Their website and social media pages are both very informative and provide a clear view of their services and goals as a business. The office itself is very clean and charming on the third floor of a newer building in Fort Collins. Kandi uses a variety of tools during her work - differently sized brushes, gua sha

Balanced Thistle is exactly what I was looking for as my go to for holistic health. Their knowledge goes beyond acupuncture and gua sha (which have both changed my life when nothing else could.) The ladies are always going above and beyond to provide me with advice to improve my health - herbs, diets, skincare, and more. Thank you Meghan, Samantha, and Kandi! ❤️

I found Dr. Meghan through a friend six months after a miscarriage, and was immediately impressed by her extensive knowledge and compassionate demeanor. I left that first appointment feeling more calm, hopeful, and cared for than I had with my previous practitioners. I started seeing her weekly for treatments, where we also addressed my lifestyle… and diet, which was important to me. After about a month and a half of treatments, I was so happy to tell her I was pregnant again! She helped me get through the anxiety and nausea of my first trimester, and I'm still seeing her in my third trimester

Few practitioners are as gifted as Dr. Meghan Gray. In addition to her extensive education (PhD, which is rare for acupuncture practioners), she has instinct and kindness. Her beautiful new office is warm and welcoming and she features everything in her practice from pain relief to cosmetic acupuncture (ask her to see images of "before" and "after" with some of her patients!) I saw Dr. Gray after an acute stress incident and her treatments were critical in my healing journey. She won't push products on you, but she does have a variety of aromatherapy, supplements and other products available if
