Holly has been my acupuncturist for 7 years or more. Where has the time gone!? She has treated me for a persistent skin rash, pms, perimenopause, colds - you name it. She specializes in women’s health and herbs. I have learned a lot about acupuncture and Chinese medicine from her because of my interest in how it works and my own health. She is very caring. I’d say she is like an old grandmother with her a warmth and ability to just know what to give you accept she is young like me. ???? Holly has dedicated herself to helping me even when my ailments have been really rough. I am eternally grateful for her support. Thank you, Holly!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Swyers! From the very beginning, I have felt genuinely cared for, listened to, and supported. My fertility journey has been anything but easy, and finding someone who approaches treatment with such compassion, patience, and knowledge has meant more to me than I can express.

Dr. Swyers takes the time to understand what you’re going through, answer questions, and make you feel comfortable every step of the way. Every appointment feels like an opportunity to relax, reset, and focus on my well being. It’s rare to find a provider who makes you feel like more than just another patient.

I’m incredibly grateful to have Dr. Swyers as part of my journey and would wholeheartedly recommend this practice to anyone considering acupuncture, especially those navigating fertility challenges. Truly a five-star experience!

I was looking for alternative treatments for perimenopause/hormonal issues and wanted to try acupuncture. I found Dr. Swyers and she made me feel comfortable and took ample time to listen to and connect with me during my consultation. It's clear she really cares about achieving results for her patients. I have already noticed a difference and would recommend her to anyone looking for help with similar issues.

I have a new onset of Bell’s Palsy, and contacted Dr. Swyers to begin acupuncture treatment. This was my first time ever, Dr. Swyers was very gentle and super professional, and I felt immediate improvement. Will continue to seek treatment with Dr. Swyers and I 100% fully recommend her practice.

Astra Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine improved my sleep quality, sleep quantity, lowered any physical and mental stress… AND… helped me recover from two sports-related injuries. For these use cases, Astra is my first stop.

Holly has treated me for neck and shoulder pain following a car accident. She listens carefully, checks in on how I’m doing, and tailors each treatment to what I need that day. Her acupuncture and cupping have helped ease my muscle tension and improve my shoulder mobility. I appreciate how attentive and thoughtful she is, and I highly recommend her.

Dr. Holly Swyers helped me manage my perimenopause and diabetic symptoms before I was even diagnosed. I didn't realize my weird symptoms were connected to these changes, but she helped me understand and manage them. After 3 months of acupuncture and health support, I was also able to lower my A1c back to normal .I'm incredibly grateful for her knowledge, attentiveness, and support throughout the process. Thank you Dr Swyers .

Holly has been treating me for about ten years now, and has made such a huge difference not just in my health and my cycle, but in my understanding and empowerment to care for myself.​ Most recently she helped prep me for surgery for endometriosis. According to my surgeon, it would not have been nearly as successful without her treatment. I always feel listened to and supported after a session with Holly.​

I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Holly Swyers. My fertility journey has been emotional and challenging - rounds of IVF and a nearly zero chance of natural conception. That all changed after seeing Dr. Swyers who, from the very beginning, supported me and showed me compassion and genuine care at every appointment. She takes the time to ask questions, provide thoughtful treatments, and really listens. She was one of the first people I called when I got pregnant! She is one of a kind and I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Swyers to anyone who is navigating a difficult health journey.

I began working with Dr. Holly Swyers in late 2025 during my fertility journey and ultimately pursued IVF. From the beginning, she took the time to answer all of my questions, review my labs, and create a personalized treatment plan based on how my body responded. She supported me throughout my egg retrieval and FET, while also being a constant source of emotional support during our weekly appointments. I truly believe her guidance made a difference in my successful first IVF attempt, and I’m now happily pregnant and due in early 2027. I’m incredibly grateful for her support and couldn’t recommend her enough.
