Women’s wellness is more than the absence of illness—it’s a state of vibrant health, balanced hormones, emotional clarity and the ability to thrive through every life stage. From the first signs of menstruation to the shifting tides of menopause, a woman’s body tells a story that deserves to be understood and supported with care. Increasingly, women are seeking holistic approaches to health that honor their cycles, soothe their symptoms and empower them to reclaim their vitality.

At Phoenix Rises Acupuncture, in St. Augustine, this vision of integrative care is brought to life. Under the guidance of Dr. Gordana Smith, DAOM, the clinic offers deeply personalized and compassionate care, combining the best of natural therapies with advanced functional wellness tools. With a rich medical lineage and extensive training in oriental medicine, herbal medicine and ozone therapy, Dr. Smith is dedicated to supporting women through every chapter of their wellness journey.

For women facing fertility issues, acupuncture remains a cornerstone of her approach, working to improve blood flow to reproductive organs, support hormonal regulation and lower stress levels. To further enhance fertility outcomes, Dr. Smith utilizes ozone sauna therapy—an advanced treatment that boosts oxygenation at the cellular level, reduces inflammation and supports reproductive health. This treatment is often incorporated into personalized fertility protocols to create an environment that supports natural conception.

Menstrual irregularities and painful periods are addressed through a combination of targeted acupuncture and natural therapies that help regulate hormonal activity, ease muscle tension and improve circulation. Many patients experience a significant reduction in cramps, mood swings and bloating, often noticing improvements in just a few sessions. Dr. Smith also offers compounded and customized vitamin cocktail injections and detox injections, which can replenish nutrients and assist in resetting the body’s systems for improved monthly cycles.

As women transition through menopause, Phoenix Rises Acupuncture provides relief from hot flashes, night sweats, irritability and sleep disruptions. Treatments are designed to naturally support the body’s ability to regulate temperature, mood and sleep cycles without the need for pharmaceuticals. Dr. Smith also supports women with services that address postpartum depression, offering treatments that restore emotional balance and overall well-being following childbirth.

Labor induction is another specialized service offered at the clinic. Through gentle, non-invasive techniques, Dr. Smith helps stimulate the body to prepare for labor, making it a preferred option for expectant mothers seeking natural alternatives. Her approach is grounded in safety and patient-centered care, helping women feel empowered and supported during late-stage pregnancy.

In addition to reproductive and hormonal care, Phoenix Rises Acupuncture offers cosmetic acupuncture, a natural alternative to injectables that supports skin tone, reduces fine lines and enhances overall radiance by stimulating collagen production and improving facial circulation. This rejuvenating service is ideal for those seeking aesthetic benefits without chemicals or invasive procedures.

The clinic also features the AO Scan, a digital body scan that provides detailed insight into health status and identifies areas of concern. This non-invasive tool allows Dr. Smith to fine-tune treatment plans and address issues early, supporting proactive wellness.

At the heart of Phoenix Rises Acupuncture is a belief in treating the whole person—physically, emotionally and energetically—with a care plan designed to reflect each woman’s unique needs.
