Eleanor Foley
I am a queer, BIPOC Licensed Acupuncturist and NCCAOM Diplomate based in Chicago, Illinois, with Puerto Rican, Irish, and German heritage. My practice centers on providing trauma-informed, inclusive, and affirming care for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. I believe that healing begins in a space where every person feels seen, respected, and supported. I specialize in fertility and reproductive health across all life stages, including family-building support for queer and trans patients. My clinical experience includes working with non-binary and gender-diverse individuals navigating fertility care, hormonal balance, and overall wellness. In addition, I treat psycho-emotional conditions such as anxiety, depression, and stress, as well as headaches/migraines, allergies, and chronic pain. I also offer cosmetic acupuncture services, including microneedling and nanoneedling. As a weight-neutral provider, I practice through the lens of Health at Every Size (HAES), rejecting harmful weight stigma and centering care around your individual needs and goals—not numbers on a scale. My approach combines East Asian Medicine principles with evidence-based strategies, creating care plans that honor your autonomy and complexity. To ensure an affirming environment, I use gender-inclusive forms, pronoun fields, and policies designed to uphold dignity for all. My mission is simple: accessible, affirming care for every body.
