Meet Dr. Janssen
My journey in healthcare began at St. Agnes Hospital of Fond du Lac where, at the age of 16, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) through my high school’s Youth Apprenticeship Program. During college, I worked in the Medical Imaging department as a CNA while majoring in radiologic technology and nursing at Marian University. In my heart, I knew there was another, more natural path I wanted to pursue. I completely changed my educational journey and started studying acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine at Midwest College of Oriental Medicine. After graduating in 2018 with my Bachelor’s of Science in Nutrition and a Master’s of Science in Oriental Medicine, I continued my insatiable passion for learning and graduated from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 2019 with my Doctorate of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
Through my education and experiences, I've learned the value of living a harmonious life as the backbone of health, and the techniques of traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, exercise, and massage) help us achieve this balanced lifestyle of wellness. I truly love sharing and educating my patients and community in any way possible. There are a few complaints I especially enjoy helping people overcome including digestive issues (bloating, IBS, indigestion, etc.), menstrual & fertility issues (endometriosis, dysmenorrhea, PMS, infertility), migraines, and mental health issues (anxiety, depression, fatigue).
Outside of work, I’m usually keeping myself busy outside as much as possible. In the summer, you’ll find me hiking nature trails across the US with my dogs, spending time outside with my chickens, and gardening. When the temperatures drop in winter, I love a good book with a warm cup of tea and cooking deliciously healthy foods.
Acupuncture
​Acupuncture is the therapeutic insertion of very fine needles into specific acupuncture points on the body. Many societies have practiced acupuncture for thousands of years to alleviate illnesses and reestablish balance within the body. In addition, thousands of modern research studies have shown the great benefits of acupuncture for countless ailments. Acupuncture regulates vital substances to create balance and harmony.
Traditional Chinese Medicine & Herbal Supplements
Traditional Chinese herbal supplements provide another healing tool to instill health and balance. Herb medicinals can help specific ailments, maintain health and prevent illnesses. Adding supplements can make up for the parts of our diet we can be missing. Only an educated, trained herbalist should recommend specific herbs or formulas because of the strong effects herbs can cause.
Cupping
Cupping is a therapeutic technique using cups and suction on the skin to relieve pain and numerous other complaints. Numerous studies have shown the efficacy of cupping in muscle and sports recovery as well as pain relief. This technique was recently made popular by the Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps and other talented athletes who use cupping for quicker muscle recovery and pain relief.

Testimonials
Trista M.
"Carley is so knowledgeable about what she practices, I love learning the reasoning behind certain needle locations. I used to have neck and shoulder pain so bad that I could barely move my head some days. After acupuncture, the knots I used to have are virtually gone. My neck and shoulders feel so light. I've been getting massages for years, and honestly this has been far more effective in managing the stiffness and pain, and for much longer periods of time in between."
