Whitney Dwyer, L.Ac.

I struggled with my own health concerns of digestive disorders like IBS and hormonal imbalances for years before finding Chinese medicine and acupuncture. I was tired of constantly being prescribed antibiotics and being told there was nothing I could do.   After moving from Texas to Colorado, an acupuncturist friend of mine gave me a free treatment to see what the medicine was all about.  During this treatment I felt a pain lift off of my stomach I didn't even know I was holding - I was hooked. I spent the next 15 years incorporating acupuncture, Chinese medicine, yoga, and dietary changes into my life, and I've never felt better! From this experience, I felt a calling to let other people know that there are other options when it comes to healing our bodies. I still use this medicine every day for optimal wellbeing. ​ ​​In 2017 I moved to Fayetteville and started my journey with Steel Creek Acupuncture. This was where I started contracting with the Veteran's Association, and finding my specialty in treating allergies with the SAAT Protocol. I've since fallen in love with this beautiful area of Arkansas, and hope to continue providing care to my current and future patients here.  ​Sprouting Wellness was named for my beloved therapy dog Sprout, who came along with me on my journey to Fayetteville. Some of my patients still remember how she would lean next to their legs during intake, or calmly sit under their hands while they laid on the table. Sprout brought a heart-centered light to the treatment space that I hope to continue to honor in her namesake at Sprouting Wellness Clinic.
