The Practice
Courageous Heart Acupuncture is a private practice offering individualized care that integrates Traditional East Asian Medicine with a steady, modern clinical approach.
Appointments are provided one patient at a time, allowing space for careful listening and intentional treatment. Each treatment plan is responsive, evolving alongside your symptoms, cycles, and goals.
From pelvic floor dysfunction, fertility, and hormonal transitions to pain, sleep, sinus, and skin concerns, care here meets you where you are.
I’m Eleanor Foley, L.Ac.
I’m a Licensed Acupuncturist in Chicago practicing on the edges of Humboldt Park and Logan Square.
My philosophy of care is grounded in Health at Every Size principles and inclusive practice. Weight, identity, gender expression, and life stage are never treated as barriers to high quality care. Care is trauma informed, consent forward, and collaborative.
My goal is simple: to help you feel more at ease in your body through care that is thoughtful, precise, and attuned.
Is this what you’re navigating?
“I’M IN PAIN AND IT’S NOT GETTING BETTER.”

“I WANT TO SUPPORT MY SKIN MORE INTENTIONALLY.”
Cosmetic acupuncture, microneedling, and nanoneedling support circulation, collagen renewal, and overall skin health through East Asian herbal skincare and regulated techniques provided by a Licensed Acupuncturist.

Testimonials
“I’ve been struggling with insomnia since January 2025 and in just 3 sessions with Eleanor I was sleeping like a baby. I come back to see her once a month for maintenance and to relax. I feel like I’ve hit the reset button after each session together.”
“I was having a hard time with some perimenopause symptoms and getting my groove back after a divorce. All around, she’s been my secret weapon for stepping into my 40s and feeling like the best version of myself - hot flashes are gone for good!”
