Introducing Acupuncture Services for Campus Community

Beginning in December, the CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will offer acupuncture, aimed at enhancing holistic health and well-being for our campus community and beyond.

"Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that engages the body’s innate healing mechanisms, focusing not just on symptoms but on fostering overall well-being and vitality," says Dee.

We’re excited to welcome Dee Watts, a Licensed Acupuncturist and Craniosacral Therapy practitioner, to provide both acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, Gua Sha, and more homeopathic treatments to support physical and emotional well-being. “Acupuncture is a holistic therapy that engages the body’s innate healing mechanisms, focusing not just on symptoms but on fostering overall well-being and vitality," says Dee. "Whether you're seeking relief from stress, pain, or aiming to boost your general health, acupuncture can be a valuable addition to your wellness routine."

Acupuncture and complementary services are provided in serene, private spaces for comfort and relaxation. Services will be by appointment-only, to ensure adequate time for a throughout intake and discussion around the patient’s individual needs.

About Dee Watts, our new Acupuncturist and Craniosacral Therapy Practitioner
