Your first visit includes a full health history review, an acupuncture treatment, and lifestyle/nutrition and herbal recommendations, if applicable.

Acupuncture is a holistic medical practice that originated in China over 3,000 years ago. It uses sterile, hair-thin needles to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and promote physical and emotional well-being. Acupuncture is based on the understanding that health is achieved through balance.
Chinese herbal medicine shares the thousand year old lineage with acupuncture. Herbs are a big part of our practice that can be used as a stand-alone therapy or as a powerful addition to your acupuncture treatment. Herbs are commonly combined to make formulas, which come in many forms including pills, powders, raw herbs and topicals.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be used safely and effectively for fertility, pregnancy, and beyond. We bring our continuing education, practical experience, commitment and passion to the treatment room. Our approach integrates both Western and Chinese Medicine, and we are happy to collaborate with whoever you already have on your wellness team.
Our signature dermatology program with Andrea can be done completely virtually. Let's get your skin back on track from the comfort of your home! Andrea will have an in-depth discussion about your skin and its history, prescribe a herbal formula that will be filled from an herbal dispensary taking all necessary precautions.

Lauren and Andrea are incredible acupuncturists. I started learning from Lauren about chinese medecine and herbs for children when my youngest was a little baby at her workshops... I was amazed at the wealth of knowledge she has and her passion for kids wellness.
I started seeing Andrea for acupuncture to treat anxiety during the pandemic. Every session felt like a personal counseling session in addition to amazing acupuncture and energy healing. I love how intuitive her approach is. I always feel amazing and look forward to the next appointment.

After hearing about the many benefits of acupuncture, I decided to visit Lauren at Balance Acupuncture to help me deal with a cyst on my wrist that caused me nagging pain for years off and on.
During my first treatment I discovered how relaxing and beneficial acupuncture is to my whole body and mind. I came out of the appointment feeling relaxed and energized and with no pain in my wrist at all.
After three treatments with Lauren my wrist cyst was no longer giving me any pain and it has not flared up since then. At one point it was painful for me to grab a beer out of the fridge because of my

I have been a client of Andreas for just over one year and her wealth of knowledge and instinctive approach to treatment is magical. She has helped me through a few mental and physical problems with gentleness, understanding and most of all leaving me feeling better! I would not hesitate to recommend Andrea to anyone looking for holistic and herbal treatment.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The studio itself is very calming, clean and well decorated. The treatment rooms are very peaceful. They have a great selection of products in the office too. Every treatment I’ve received has been super focused and effective. I’ve always been impressed with Laurens intuition and ability to ask me questions that get me thinking about my chief complaint more holistically. Hands down the best acupuncture treatments I’ve had in charleston.

This review is long overdue. I discovered Lauren Becker several years back during an Essential Oil candle making class. I was really interested in learning that EOs could be used to treat health concerns. Fast forward 5 months and I was struggling to get pregnant. My doctor wanted me to try for a year after which she would give me medicine to help. The idea of not addressing the root cause really bothered me, so I consulted Lauren on anything that could help as TCM was way beyond me. She diagnosed my issues in the first appointment after asking more detailed questions than any doctor ever had.

Serene, welcoming, and warmly professional—this space and the women who work in it are everything I'd want in an Acupuncture center. Lauren and Andrea are so kind and fun, and I know they're constantly doing continuing education to make sure they're on top of health and safety techniques. Very much recommended.
