We consider our competition the BEST of NYC and LA, but we’re right here in Northern Colorado.

Who and What We Treat

Chinese Medicine is whole body medicine.  What does that mean?  Mind, body, spirit, soul.  At Balanced Thistle we blend ancient, tried and true medicinal methods with more modern techniques and evidence based research to approach your individual concerns with customized precision.

When is the Balanced Thistle team right for you? If you are struggling with women’s health concerns such as painful or irregular cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, infertility, menopause, pregnancy/postnatal, or digestive concerns, headaches, stress, insomnia, anxiety, etc- then come meet us!

We’re also ideal for women looking to age beautifully. We’re not “anti-aging,” but hope to nourish your body inside and out to support your healthy and beautiful evolution through all stages of life. If you want beauty care that boasts health benefits, our services are exactly what you’re looking for.

Our Wild Side- Beauty

When you’ve worked in women’s health as long as we have, one thing becomes pretty clear- the beauty industry is no friend to our hormone health, and sometimes not a friend to our confidence either! So we decided to offer beauty services that aren’t just “not bad” for you, but in fact offer health benefits, and to aim at making you feel so good in your own skin, you don’t even need the make-up (but maybe you still want it, that’s fine!).

Every cosmetic service offered at Balanced Thistle boasts an array of health benefits. It’s not a typical facial that’s all about the products- we also tackle lymphatic flow and muscle tension, both of which play a significant role in our skin health and aging process. Plus, add on health-centric acupressure or acupuncture and now it’s soooo much more than skin deep.

Interested in all natural skin care that doesn't include injectables or lasers? We have an array of aesthetic options to help you towards being beautifully healthy from the inside out.  We know, it's a pretty wild idea, isn't it?
