A Different
Kind
of Care

The Catch A Fish Renewal Approach is the philosophy that guides everything we do at Catch A Fish Wellness.


It is patient-first, pattern-based, and grounded in classical principles that have helped people heal for over a thousand years.

Instead of treating isolated symptoms, we look at how your entire system is functioning — physically, emotionally, hormonally, and energetically — and identify the internal pattern driving your discomfort. This is how deep, lasting change happens.

Catch A Fish In Numbers

Real patterns we see in our clinic every week.

95%

Arrive confused about what to eat

Most new patients have tried “healthy” plans — low-carb, keto, gluten-free — and still don’t feel well. We help you match food to your body, not to a trend.

50%

Have “normal” labs but don’t feel normal

Their blood work looks fine on paper, yet they’re exhausted, in pain, or not sleeping. Chinese medicine lets us see patterns that don’t show up on standard tests.

3-18 Months

Typical length of care with us

Most people work with us for a season or two. That gives us time to unwind long-standing patterns, stabilize symptoms, and teach you how to keep progress going.

3+

Number of specialists seen before finding us

On average, patients have already tried multiple doctors, therapies, or other acupuncturists. We’re often the place people come when they’re ready for a deeper, whole-system approach.

Why We
Don't Chase Symptoms

Western medicine can diagnose problems by location — back pain, reflux, irregular cycles, migraines.


Chinese Medicine sees these symptoms as signals of a deeper imbalance.

The Catch A Fish Renewal Approach asks a different set of questions:

  • Why is the body stuck?

  • What climate is creating these symptoms?

  • What pattern needs to shift for balance to return?

When we treat the pattern, the symptoms begin to resolve on their own.

The Five Elements Of
The Catch A Fish
Renewal Approach

Traditional Massage

Very few Acupuncture practices in this area have deep training in Asian medical massage. At Catch A Fish, our massage is rooted in Acupressure and other traditional techniques, learned from master teachers. It’s used as medicine — to move blood and qi, release tension, and support your organs — not as a generic spa add-on.

Targeted Acupuncture

We use gentle, precise acupuncture to calm the nervous system, open circulation, and regulate organ systems. Each session is adjusted based on how you’re sleeping, digesting, and feeling that week — not a one-size-fits-all chart.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Between visits, herbs keep the momentum going. Our in-house pharmacy includes mostly organic raw herbs and over 300 high-quality granular formulas. We custom-build blends for your pattern on-site — nothing pre-packaged, nothing generic.

Food-As-Medicine Guidance

Food can warm, cool, moisten, dry, move, or build. We help you choose what to eat for your body so progress continues at home, not just on the treatment table.

Lifestyle & Rhythm Coaching

Some changes are small; others are non-negotiable when your body is in crisis. We’re clear about what really needs to shift — sleep, stress, stimulants, workouts — and we help you build a life that actually supports your health.

CAF Fertility

What we see in real patients every day.

3+

Pregnancies lost before patients find us

By the time people arrive here, they’ve often lived through multiple miscarriages. We focus on rebuilding strength, calming the nervous system, and creating a more stable foundation for a future pregnancy.

1-4+ 

Average number of failed IUI/IVF cycles

Many patients come to us after several unsuccessful transfers. Our work is to support egg and sperm quality, uterine lining, and emotional resilience alongside your fertility team.

1 Week

How quickly some hope acupuncture will work

Fertility is guided by 90–120 day cycles of hormones, follicles, and lining. Acupuncture can be powerful, but it isn’t a one-and-done treatment. Our goal is full body change. 

3-9 Months

Typical window to see meaningful change

With consistent care and lifestyle shifts, many patients notice clearer cycles, better sleep and digestion, and a stronger response to fertility treatment over this time frame.

Understanding Your Body's Internal Climate

Chinese Medicine views the body like a landscape.

Just like nature, your internal environment can become too hot, too cold, too damp, too dry, stagnant, or depleted. Once your body’s climate is clear, the path forward becomes clear.

Heat

Irritability, inflammation, dryness, PMS flares, sleep disruption.

Cracked Dry Soil
