🎬✨ A night for women’s health, community + conversations about endometriosis

Nurture Women’s Heath + Points for Wellness Acupuncture are so excited to come together to offer a FREE community screening of Below the Belt which is a powerful documentary that shines a long-overdue light on endometriosis, a disease that affects millions of women yet is still too often misunderstood, dismissed, misdiagnosed, or simply not talked about enough.

❀  Sunny California Surf Shop
❀ Wednesday, September 30th
❀ 6pm - 9pm
❀ FREE event, please RSVP (link in bio)

Come early and connect with some amazing local vendors (tagged in this post!) and practitioners. Stay afterward for a thoughtful panel conversation where we can keep the dialogue going.

Bring your girlfriends. Bring your questions. Bring the person who’s been told her pain is “normal.”

We can’t wait to share this beautiful evening with you, Santa Cruz. ✨

Popcorn & sips provided!

✨ The magic behind the magic: Malia + Abi ✨

If you’ve walked through the doors at Points for Wellness, chances are these are two of the first smiling faces you’ve seen. 🤍

But what you see at the front desk is only a tiny piece of what Malia + Abi do around here.

They’re greeting you, answering questions, keeping things flowing, turning over rooms, tidying spaces, helping our practitioners — and somehow still making our studio feel calm, warm + welcoming.

They are truly the behind-the-scenes magic that helps us do what we do every single day.

So this is simply a little love letter to our girls.

Malia + Abi, we see you. We appreciate you. And we are SO grateful for everything you bring to this space and this little Points for Wellness family.

We genuinely couldn’t pull off all that we do without you two. 🫶🏼

Drop them a little love below — because the girls who keep the wellness studio running deserve some wellness-love of their own. 🤍

PCOS has a new name.
Meet PMOS: Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome

For years, “polycystic o***y syndrome” put the focus on ovarian cysts , when this condition is so much more complex than that.

PMOS better reflects what’s really happening: a condition that can involve multiple hormone systems, metabolism + ovarian function and can show up very differently from one person to the next.

At Points for Wellness, we take a unique  approach and using acupuncture, Chinese  and functional medicine to uncover what’s driving your PMOS.  Our individualized care plans can support:

✨ menstrual + ovulatory regularity
✨ metabolic health + insulin sensitivity
✨ stress + nervous system regulation
✨ sleep + overall wellbeing
✨ fertility goals

PMOS isn’t one-size-fits-all , and your care shouldn’t be either.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We would love to support you!

Consider this your little pre-acu cheat sheet ✨

A few simple things before your appointment can help you settle in, get comfy + make the most of your time on the table.

And one little bonus tip from us? Maybeeee don’t schedule your most chaotic meeting immediately afterward. Give yourself a little breathing room to soak up that post-acupuncture calm before jumping straight back into the wild.

Save this one for your next acu sesh ✨

Welcome to your Second Spring. 🌸

In Chinese medicine, menopause isn’t simply the end of the reproductive years. It’s a transition into a new phase of life, often called a woman’s Second Spring.
Yes, hormones are changing, and that can bring very real symptoms like hot flashes, disrupted sleep, anxiety, brain fog, and changes in metabolism, digestion, libido, and energy.

But menopause is not the end of feeling vibrant, strong, sexy, clear headed, or at home in your body.
We love combining the wisdom of Chinese medicine with what we now know about hormones, nutrition, strength, sleep, stress, gut health, and healthy aging. Your body is changing. The goal isn’t to make it 30 again. It’s to help you feel really good in the body you have now.

✨ The Lookout List is back! ✨

Last year, Lookout Santa Cruz launched its very first Lookout List, celebrating the local businesses, organizations + places that make Santa Cruz County so special.

And thanks to YOU, Points for Wellness was incredibly honored to take home Best Acupuncture, Best Massage + Best Med Spa/ Health Center in 2025. 🤍

Now the 2026 Lookout List is officially underway, and nominations are OPEN!

While these “Best Of” lists are all in good fun, we love that they give our community a chance to shine a little extra light on the small, local + women-owned businesses that pour so much heart into what they do.

If Points for Wellness has been a meaningful part of your wellness journey, we’d be so grateful for your nomination again this year. ✨

Your appointments, referrals, kind words, shares + continued support are what allow our little practice to keep doing what we love — and that means far more to us than any award ever could.

Nominations are open now through September 6th. Link in bio to vote!

And while you’re there, don’t forget to show some love to all of your other favorite Santa Cruz County businesses + community gems, too. 🤍

Thank you for supporting local. Thank you for supporting women-owned. And most of all, thank you for supporting us. ✧
