Are you a licensed acupuncturist ready to enhance your pelvic health skills with hands-on training? Join Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, PT, LAc in Louisville, Colorado for an immersive and experiential two-day workshop.

At The Pelvic Acu, our mission is to empower acupuncturists to successfully and sustainably support clients with pelvic health conditions. Sustainable care means more than short-term relief—it means helping clients experience long-lasting improvements in their pelvic health across every season of life. One important piece of that work is understanding the vaginal microbiome—a complex and dynamic ecosystem that plays a key role in reproductive, urinary, and overall pelvic health.

In Episode 3 of The Pelvic Bowl: Deep Conversations with The Pelvic Acu, host Dr. Krystal Lynn Couture, DPT, LAcsits down with Dr. Andrea Orvieto, L.Ac., DACM, FABORM, founder of SoFla Acupuncture & Wellness in Hallandale Beach, Florida. What unfolds is an inspiring and deeply personal conversation about the path to pelvic care, the integration of acupuncture with pelvic floor therapy, and the profound ways these practices change patients’ lives.

Pelvic Care Case Study Care Planning is a grand rounds style live webinar. The concept is such that practitioners bring cases to the table (or I bring some from my own experience) including the biomedical and TCM diagnoses, case history and any other pertinent client information. We'll discuss the most important components of treatment including home programs, acupuncture points, and complementary treatments.

Since 2009, I’ve been on a transformative journey—a journey rooted in bringing Pelvic Care to Acupuncturists. What began as a seedling of an idea has blossomed into a mission to empower practitioners to address pelvic health challenges at their core. 🌱I teach pelvic health to acupuncturists because I believe we are uniquely positioned to treat not just the symptoms of dysfunction but its true source. This means addressing the physical, emotional, and energetic patterns that underlie pelvic health challenges.✨ My journey to this understanding has been deeply personal and profoundly transformative.

Since our launch in July 2024, some amazing things have happened! Let’s take a walk down memory lane. We are so grateful for these amazing opportunities!
