The Cottage
Acupuncture | Women’s Health | Herbal Medicine
The Cottage was built for those who feel like something has been missed. For those who have been told everything looks “normal,” but don’t feel that way.
It exists as a place for more thoughtful, individualized care—where your body is given the time and attention it needs to be understood.

When your body feels off, it affects everything
Stress, hormonal shifts, and chronic pain can show up in ways that are hard to explain but easy to dismiss.
At The Cottage, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are used to support your body’s ability to regulate and recover. Treatments are personalized and one-on-one, with a focus on nervous system support, women’s health, and pain relief.
“It’s something I’ve chosen to study deeply and practice with intention.”
I’m Dr. Ella.
Through my training in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, I focus on understanding patterns within the body—and how to treat them in a way that is both thoughtful and effective.
My approach is grounded in careful listening, individualized care, and a belief that the body responds best when it’s given time, attention, and the right support.
