The Wellness Haven
Are you ready to try acupuncture and experience how your body can naturally heal itself with just a little reminder from hair-thin needles? Having evolved over thousands of years, acupuncture is one of the oldest continually practiced medical modalities in the world. Acupuncture is used to prevent and treat disease, relieve pain, balance mood, enhance athletic performance, increase fertility, and improve overall health and wellness.

Modern research has shown that acupuncture is a safe, effective, chemical-free way to promote the body's remarkable self-healing abilities. An acupuncture treatment involves the insertion and manipulation of flexible, hair-thin needles at specific points on the body. Most patients find the sensations produced by acupuncture treatment to be deeply relaxing both mentally and physically.
Services
Acupuncture works by activating your immune system through the mechanical stimulation of your fascia. When the needle breaks the skin, your body's first reaction is to attack the needle and to try to push it out. When your body attacks the needle, the immune system is engaged and your body begins to increase circulation of blood and heal body wide inflammation.
My daughter and I have been seeing Candice for about a month. She is very thorough in her review of medical history and analysis of our medical issues, and she has a friendly and reassuring style that takes all the anxiety out of getting acupuncture. Candice is also a great communicator - she explains what she's doing, how it will feel, and what kind of results we should get.
The initial treatment is our time to explore how your symptoms relate to Chinese Medicine and how you well you respond to acupuncture. We will begin with a face to face 20-30 minute conversation about your health history and current symptoms. I will read your tongue and pulse to even further understand the root cause of your symptoms.

Candice is amazing. I was going for fertility concerns; I have PCOS and my hormone levels were irregular. Candice was honest and open about what treatment she could provide. She educated me on some eastern medicine practices as well as listened to my struggles during this time. After the 12 recommended sessions, I found out I was pregnant. I completely credit this to Candice and her needles!! While everyone’s experience is different with fertility treatment, I can honestly say she helped bring my baby into this world.

Candice is a brilliant and highly competent acupuncturist. My orthopedist was amazed how fast my shoulder injury healed and it was thanks to Candice's treatments. Highly recommended!

Candice is by far the best acupuncturist I have ever had. I have had three other acupuncturists in the past few years, but none of them come close to providing the pain relief that I have found with Candice.
Not only does she excel at acupuncture, but she is always such a positive energy ready to talk about anything else that's been bothering you. I highly recommend her to everyone!!

I'm so happy with my acupuncture treatments with Candace. She is kind and compassionate. Most importantly, she knows what she's doing. I came to see her during a very emotional and stressful time and she was able to support me through this with acupuncture. I am a strong believer that you have to be an advocate for your own health and it's worth putting in the effort to look at holistic options. I'm proud to say Candace is part of my team of people I turn to for my self care.

Candice is great! She makes you feel extremely comfortable and is clearly very knowledgable. I tried another local acupuncturist and had a negative experience as they were not communicative and didn't make me feel supported. I had a completely different experience at The Wellness Haven. I am grateful that I kept looking and found Candice!

I've been going to Candice for a few months for infertility and she is a miracle worker! I am over forty and understand the odds are not with me but after reading The Infertility Cure, I called her. By drinking Chinese herbal teas and doing acupuncture, my body is responding better than it EVER has! To add context, Ive been to other acupuncturists and I now see her methods and the herbal teas are top notch.

So - I highly highly recommend. See Candice!

Candice is an excellent practitioner. I have been receiving acupuncture and cupping treatment for half a year. Her technique is better than most of the therapists I saw in NYC. We are very fortunate to have such amazing talent in New Haven.

Candice is amazing! I have been coming to her for acupuncture for about 7 months now. Before I started seeing Candice, I had terrible allergies and digestive issues. I am an opera singer, so both of these problems severely impacted my career. Candice's treatments have helped me significantly. I had completely lost my high notes for a while and they have finally returned and my voice is healthy again and in better shape than ever! She not only treats me with acupuncture, but also does cupping and prescribes herbs. She really goes out of her way to do everything possible to cure your ailments and

I've been coming here for Swedish massage with Jacqueline Galloway for the past half year. Jackie is hands down one of the best. She's focused, attentive and sincerely cares about the well-being of her clients. I've recommended her to several of my friends. Although I'm moving to Boston, I plan to come back from time to time.

I've been going to see Jen for a few years now, she is hands down the best massage therapist I've been to. She is always approachable and friendly. Every session she asks after my health, and tailors each session to focus on problem areas. I am always so relaxed after each session, and sometimes I even fall asleep! Definitely book an appointment with Jen at the Wellness Haven today!

Candice takes the time to get to know you, and to understand the issues that you're experiencing.
For me personally, having Lupus & a Back Injury, I've been dealing with a variety of symptoms & pain.
Candice explained to me how the Accupuncture works, how it can help to alleviate my symptoms & help me to have a better quality of life.
I recommend Wellness Haven for anyone that's in need of relief from an illness or injury.

I am always skeptical of alternative medicine but I was convinced to try acupuncture and was pleased to find it helped the symptoms I was looking to resolve. Candice at The Wellness Haven truly cares about her patients and their health. If you are interested in acupuncture or herbal prescriptions tailored to your needs, I would recommend The Wellness Haven highly.

I started seeing Candice for severe migraines, and a few other health issues about a year ago she is absolutely AWESOME!!!!! She is an extremely good acupuncturist. She takes the time to go over your in-depth medical history. Answer any questions and concerns you may have and explain what each point treats and how it will feel and what to expect. She truly cares about her clients and will tell you if she feels acupuncture would be good or not at treating issues unlike some. She also offers a sliding scale payment which has allowed me to receive the treatment I need. Since I started treatment my

Candice is extremely knowledgeable about nuances of the human body. She is professional and friendly, and always does a great job treating all kinds of ailments and issues. I've noticed marked improvements in my health since I started getting acupuncture and cupping with her, and I can certainly tell a difference in my health if I miss a week. I have a lot of fun seeing Candice and learning about acupuncture; she is always sure to explain what each point does to the body. Plus, the price is right! I can't say enough good things about Candice and her practice.

The Wellness Haven was my first good experience with acupuncture and it was extremely positive. Enough so that I would say it has completely changed my mind about acupuncture as a treatment method. Previously at other practitioners, I had experienced discomfort and felt that the treatments were of questionable benefit, but this was not the case in Candice's care. Her comforting and nurturing demeanor puts you at such ease that the brisk efficiency with which she places the needles can be startling, but her hand is so quick and precise that not a single needle missed its mark or caused pain
