Rena Howell Five Element Acupuncture

Savannah, Georgia · (912) 713-2297 · RenaHowellAcupuncture.com

Acupuncture that treats the whole season of a life, not just the symptom.

Rena Howell offers Five Element acupuncture — a practice built on listening first, needling second, and treating body, mind, and spirit as one system.

Everyday stresses, as well as trauma and injuries, can, over time, build up and create blocks of energy. When there is a lack of smooth flow or balance, symptoms such as pain and disease result. Acupuncture works by harmonizing and balancing ‘qi’,( the life force within us) and allows the body to heal itself.

Using the laws of nature, Five Element Acupuncture works with you toward your greatest physical and emotional health and the fullest expression of who you are.

Facial rejuvenation is added to this acupuncture practice! For further information, select menu choice, Specialities.

"Hi, I'm Rena Howell, and welcome to my practice!

I have a Master's degree in Five Element Acupuncture and have been in practice for 26 years. I was drawn to the ancient five-element tradition because of its belief that emotions and the spirit are just as important to healing as the physical body.

The five-element tradition in acupuncture is an ancient style rooted in the laws of nature. As in the outside world, we have each season within us, and they need to be in balance for us to thrive. I look for blocks that are impeding the natural flow and work to restore them to be equal and balanced so each aspect of us can be fully expressed. Five element acupuncture pays particular attention to the spirit and to emotions, knowing that upsets on a deep level profoundly affect the physical body.

I work in partnership with my clients, supporting them in living the full expression of who they are. I love to see my clients experiencing new joy and ease — including relief from pain and stress — bringing them home to themselves. Each treatment is unique to each client each time, tailored to address the core of what is going on with them in general and on that day. I treat one person at a time so I can fully support the client that I'm seeing.

Call or preferably text today to make an appointment or with any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you!"

Working together

Services

Every plan of care starts with a full intake — health history, constitutional assessment, and a conversation about what brought you in — before any needles are placed. Common uses for Acupuncture are the following.

01

Chronic & Acute Pain Management

Treatment for lower back pain, arthritis, migraines, and sports injuries — needle insertion prompts the brain to release endorphins, the body's own natural painkillers.

02

Nervous System Regulation & Stress Reduction

Sessions aimed at shifting the body out of a stressed "fight-or-flight" state, lowering cortisol, easing anxiety, improving sleep, and supporting mood.

03

Chronic Condition & Internal Symptom Relief

Support for systemic issues such as IBS, infertility, and asthma, working to boost circulation, regulate hormones, and reduce widespread inflammation.

04

Immune Support & Wellness Preservation

Ongoing care designed to strengthen the body's defenses before illness sets in, supporting healthy immune function and resilience to physical and emotional stress. Maintenance sessions for patients as ongoing care rather than a last resort.
