Welcome to Firewood Acupuncture - Central Denver’s Top-Rated Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine Clinic.

You will be heard here, in this peaceful, healing sanctuary. Serving the Denver area for close to five years, this clinic treats everything and anything. We consider ourselves generalists, not really specializing in any one area of health. Instead, we choose to treat folks who just don’t feel their best.

Whatever it is. Whatever you might be feeling physically, emotionally, or psychologically, we can help. To learn more about common imbalances we treat, head to our What We Treat page!

Owner, Acupuncturist, and Herbalist Rachel Muich, L.Ac, M.S.TCM and her associate, Hanna Gissler, L.Ac, M.S. treat in-person at the clinic six days a week.

How were you taught about your body?

Acupuncture helps you understand your body and your unique cues when something is off.

Through a detailed, 90 minute initial session, we go through every system of your body; sleep, digestion, menstrual cycle, heart and lung health, how your sensory organs are functioning, inspecting pain that is chronic or acute, how you deal with emotions and stress, etc.

We help to educate you on your unique pattern so you feel safe and relaxed to receive needles.

We encourage questions if something feels unclear or scary. Creating a safe cocoon for healing is where our intention starts and ends.

Come slow down and take a little nap in our sanctuary. You WILL feel a little better after every session until your mind and body learn how to do it for you on its own.

Our approach.

Your wellness requires care, attention, and time. At Firewood Acupuncture, your health is in your hands just as much as it is in ours. Our mission together will be to restore your natural balance so you can get back to your life.

Taking control of your health and wellness allows you to feel comfortable in your body, rested in your mind, and resourced in your daily life. You don’t have to push through pain and yes, burnout is real. You should never tolerate what your body is trying to tell you when something feels really off. Remember, you are in your body all day - YOU know it best. We want to hear about it and get you feeling better now.

You’re so worth it.

How does it work?

Our beliefs about health and healing:

We want you to feel empowered to make the best decisions for yourself - no one knows your body better than you.

  • We believe everything is connected and you cannot separate your mind from your body. You are not a collection of symptoms but rather, a whole person experiencing dis-ease.

  • We find that Western medicine sometimes needs a little nudge from Eastern medicine - oftentimes failing if one is not there to support the other. We believe in Western medicine at Firewood Acupuncture, but we also believe the modern medical system is severely broken. Eastern healing aims to cradle us where Western med falls short.

  • We know that you have the immense ability to self-heal and sometimes your body just needs reminding - that’s why you’re here.

  • We do not believe in elimination diets and that yes, you should be eating more protein and lifting heavy weights - often.

  • We believe in you and also, we believe you. No gaslighting here. You will be met with empathy and evidence-based healing. We will use all we have learned to help you get back to your best self.
