We Won 3 Awards for The Best of Dripping Springs 2021
Thank you for choosing us as the Best of Dripping Springs 2021!
- Best Acupuncturist (Dr. Michelle Wendt, L.Ac, DACM)
- Best Alternative Medicine
- Best Pain Management
At Indigo Healing Acupuncture, we help people find long-term relief from chronic pain/illness, headaches, insomnia, anxiety, and infertility with treatment strategies that are clinically-proven and backed by over 2,000 years of knowledge. We provide an effective alternative to physical therapy, chiropractic care, pharmaceuticals, injections, and surgery.
Chronic migraine headaches called Dr. Michelle Wendt, L.Ac., DACM into holistic medicine and she deeply emphasizes with anyone who is struggling with a condition that is missing an effective solution in modern medicine. With this first-hand knowledge, she meets one-on-one with prospective patients to listen to their story and understand them as a whole person, not just a constellation of symptoms. Customized treatment strategies naturally encourage homeostasis in the endocrine system and nervous system to promote healing from the inside out. With convenient appointment times available in the morning, afternoon, and evening, patients benefit from a comprehensive care strategy that focuses on the healing synergy of treating the body, mind, and spirit.
The Indigo Healing Acupuncture Team wakes up every day feeling excited about the opportunity to help people feel better. We love seeing how feeling better manifests in the daily lives of each of our patients. For some, it’s being able to get down on hands and knees to play with a grandchild. It can be a musician playing a two-hour concert without pain or fatigue. It can be a mom who has enough energy to train for a marathon. It can be an orthopedic surgeon who needs a full night of sleep to prepare for a life-changing surgery. We’re driven with a passion to have a positive impact on individuals, which ultimately contributes to the well-being of their family, friends, and community.
Indigo Healing Acupuncture is continually evolving with a blend of traditional medicine, science, and personal connection designed to nurture and guide our patients through their most difficult health challenges. We eagerly await improving the life of every human who walks through our door, right here in our hometown of Dripping Springs!

“I need to talk to my husband…”
Dear Mama Sitting In Front of Me,
I see you.
I know you’re exhausted.
I know it took every ounce of willpower for you to get out of bed this morning.
I know how much your jaw hurt when you tried to smile at your kids because you spent another restless night grinding away your worry.
I know about the resentment you feel when your husband announces he’s going to disappear for 6 hours on a Saturday to hang out with the guys and relieve stress.
I know about the never-ending to do list that you mentally track. How every time you check a box you feel a twinge of hope you’re getting closer to a chance to rest.
I see the toll carrying such a heavy load is taking on your body and spirit.
I see the pain pounding away at your happiness and a cloud covering your heart.
I understand that it seems impossible to take time for yourself.
It breaks my heart to hear you don’t have the time to do what you need to do.
It maddens me to hear it’s up to your husband to decide if you’re worthy of feeling better.
It saddens me that your kids will not get a chance to know who you are without pain.
I want to to tell you all these things, but I see you.
I see you holding back the tears because you already know.
You already know you need help.
You already know you deserve a better life.
You already know your kids deserve the best you.
You already know you should be making your own decision.
You already know you shouldn’t need to expend precious energy to convince him.
You already know you don’t need to ask permission to do what’s best for you.
If only you could see what I see.
You are worth it.
With love,
Dr. Michelle
