Empowering Women’s Health and Fertility

At Balance, we believe that every woman deserves access to compassionate, healthcare tailored to her unique needs. Our commitment to women’s health goes beyond acupuncture; it’s a holistic approach that nurtures body, mind, and spirit while supporting each woman on her journey to wellness, fertility, and self-empowerment.

Supporting Women’s Health at Every Stage

Women’s health is a journey that evolves through the stages of life, and we are here to support you through all of them. Whether you’re seeking relief from menstrual pain, managing hormonal shifts, or finding balance through perimenopause and menopause, our acupuncture treatments and herbal remedies are crafted to harmonize your body’s natural rhythms. We are dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming space where women can heal, grow, and thrive.

Fertility Support Tailored to You

The path to fertility can be deeply personal and sometimes challenging. As specialists in women’s health and fertility, we use acupuncture, herbal medicine, and moxibustion to support and optimize your fertility journey. Whether you're preparing to conceive naturally, undergoing IVF, or exploring other fertility options, our treatments are designed to nurture your reproductive health and increase your body’s natural resilience. We aim help you feel empowered, supported, listened to, and confident every step of the way.

Advocating for Women’s Rights and Health Autonomy

Our clinic is not only committed to supporting women’s health and fertility but also to standing up for women’s rights. We believe every woman has the right to make informed decisions about her body and health. In our practice, we advocate for your autonomy and work alongside you, providing options and expertise so you can make choices that align with your values and goals. We take pride in being part of a community that respects and celebrates women’s strength and resilience.

Your Health is Our Mission

Our vision for women’s health is built on the foundation of empowerment, healing, and advocacy. We strive to create a nurturing environment where you feel heard, supported, and uplifted in every aspect of your wellness. With our integrative approach to women’s health, we’re here to support not only your physical well-being but your overall quality of life.

While we are a general practice and treat everything from pediatrics to men’s health and pain conditions and more, the majority of our clientele comes in for women’s health and fertility help. Every day we are supporting women through an IVF cycle, or a miscarriage, or a successful pregnancy, or postpartum issues, or unexplained infertility, and the list goes on.

We are fully committed to supporting you wherever you are in your journey and to provide care on every level: mind, body, and spirit. If you, or someone you know, could benefit from our support, don’t hesitate to reach out. (843) 790-4295.

Meet Dr. Christina,

DACM, L.AC., Dipl. OM

“Hi. I’m Dr. Christina Velderman.

I am a classically trained doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, an internist and herbalist. My specialty is guiding people through reconceptualizing their pain or illness as a key that opens a doorway into transformational change.

I have been profoundly unwell and I have healed.

In this lifetime, I have undertaken a spiritual curriculum that led me to the depths of debility and back to vibrant wellness. My “healer’s journey” took me through being diagnosed with multiple “incurable” illnesses, losing myself in every possible way, and then reconnecting to my spirit’s innate wholeness and ability to create a life worth living.

Now I help sick and spiritual disconnected people reclaim their wellness and discover how to fall in love with life again.

My professional background includes decades of creative and strategic work in business, leadership, personal development, and health. I began studying spiritual traditions of the world as an adolescent hobby, eventually growing into advanced esoteric studies in the traditions of Reiki, Core Shamanism, and Five Elements Energy Clearing. I then earned Master and Doctorate degrees from Daoist Traditions College of Chinese Medical Arts (Asheville, NC), in a program overseen by 88th generation Daoist Priest, Jeffrey Yuen.

I can think of no greater honor than to help you find solid footing on your unique path to alignment between your body, spirit, and life curriculum.”
