Hello and Welcome! I'm Grainne McKeown.

I am thrilled to finally launch this page!

As a licensed Acupuncturist and Board Certified Chinese Herbal Medicine practitioner in Chicago, I've dedicated over two decades to studying and practicing various healing modalities. My approach combines Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, as well as offering guidance on yoga, meditation, and breathing- all designed to support your personal journey to wellness.

I specialize in the areas of women's health and emotional well-being. My primary areas of focus are:

* Fertility and Preconception: I create tailored Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine plans to optimize conception, whether you are trying naturally or undergoing IVF/IUI.

* Perimenopause and Menopause: I balance hormonal changes using Acupuncture and herbs, providing lifestyle support so you navigate these transitions with ease.

* Anxiety and Depression: I use East Asian Medicine to strengthen your internal resources and restore balance, helping you to reclaim your energy, motivation, and zest for life.

My goal is to share knowledge and insights into the power of Chinese Medicine with you, and I look forward to connecting here!

I hope you had a fantastic Halloween filled with creative surprises!

Did you know that Acupuncture is so helpful for the relief of shingles pain? I had a patient this week who had been suffering with post-shingles neuropathy (she's in her late 40s) for SEVEN weeks. After just one acupuncture session and 5 days of herbs, she told me this morning she is finally feeling human again! I love Chinese medicine and the quality of life it returns to patients who use it.
