Our Story
The Wellness Cove grew from a quiet calling toward deeper, more spacious healing. What began as just ReNu Acupuncture soon blossomed beyond its capacity, guided by faith, intuition, and divine timing. When the perfect building opened unexpectedly, the path forward became clear. Within months, that space transformed into a calm, intentional haven where ReNu Acupuncture and Healthy Kneads Massage came together under one roof. The Wellness Cove stands as a sanctuary shaped with purpose — a place where the body can rest, the mind can soften, and healing feels like coming home.
Why The Cove Exists
The Wellness Cove was created because there were more modalities that could be brought to the Milbank area to better serve the community and its patients. As a licensed acupuncturist, patients kept expressing curiosity and sharing their experiences with other holistic therapies. Gravitating toward natural medicine, those therapies were explored — starting with the Hocatt and the Hugo PEMF, which were added to the practice before The Wellness Cove was even an idea.
Retail products were added too — from herbs to Rowe Casa Organics, starting with an Elderberry supplement a patient asked about, to now shelves full of products shaped by listening and learning from patients. Seeing patients experience such dramatic results with these additional therapies continues to fuel the curiosity into more holistic offerings.
Our Mission
The Wellness Cove exists to create a serene, restorative space where individuals can reconnect with their bodies, find relief, and cultivate lasting wellness. Through compassionate care, evidence-informed acupuncture, and therapeutic bodywork, we empower each person to feel grounded, supported, and renewed. Our mission is to nurture whole-body balance and provide a peaceful haven for healing in the heart of our community.
