Acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and naturopathy practiced together — with the patience of a longer conversation and the rigor of two clinicians who have spent decades bridging Eastern and Western care.
Coastal Wellness Health is a small, considered practice — the kind where your clinician sits with you long enough to actually hear the story. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine sit alongside naturopathic care, and the two practitioners trade notes when it helps.
Dr. Schmidt brings a 3,000-year tradition into the room with the precision of a trained scientist; Dr. Stockwell pairs naturopathic diagnostics with botanicals, nutrition, and visceral work. The common thread is a slower, more attentive medicine that treats the whole person — not the symptom in isolation.
Acupuncture and naturopathic medicine each have their own logic. Patients often see one, sometimes both — and the decision is part of the first visit.
A 3,000-year tradition activated by the body's own healing response. Fine, sterile, single-use needles — most patients never feel the insertion — alongside herbal formulas, moxibustion, cupping, and manual therapies, chosen for the person on the table.
Whole-person primary care that draws on nutrition, botanicals, homeopathy, craniosacral therapy and visceral manipulation — and pharmacologic prescribing where it's the right tool. Used for digestive disorders, women's health, chronic inflammation, and metabolic care.
Both the World Health Organization and the National Institutes of Health recognize acupuncture for a wide range of conditions — from chronic pain and fertility to digestive and respiratory care. Search, or filter by category.

After nine months of trying to get pregnant, I turned to Chinese medicine. A month into Dr. Schmidt's program, I missed my period — and was pregnant. Thank you.— D.B., Patient Fertility
For the first time in nine years I was able to genuinely relax. I was the most comfortable I have ever been. I felt good for a long stretch afterward — I wish I could feel that way more often. Everybody should do acupuncture.— T.K., Patient Stress & sleep
A first visit is a longer conversation — usually 60 to 90 minutes — that ends with a treatment plan tailored to you. Here's what most new patients want to know.
