At West River Acupuncture and Wellness, we are a dedicated team committed to providing the highest level of care for each of our patients that come to us from the Black Hills, Western South Dakota areas and beyond.
Our Team
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, ensuring that we communicate effectively to meet the unique needs of each of our patients. We take pride in celebrating our patients’ victories and supporting them every step of the way on their wellness journey.
Our team is led by Dr. Ariann Wolff DACM, the founder of West River Acupuncture & Wellness
Ariann and her husband both grew up in Rapid City. After over 10 years of being away, they started their family and knew it was time to return back home so their kids could have close relationships with their Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, and Cousins.
“We can’t think of a better place to raise our children. Sometimes it takes moving away to appreciate where you came from. My family and I are incredibly grateful to return to our roots here in the Black Hills and serve our community.”

My name is Michelle and I am the Operations Manager at West River Acupuncture & Wellness. I've been working for Dr. Wolff since 2021, and what I love most about my job is the patients. It's always a treat to see them finally find relief from chronic pain, drive for the first time in years and get back to the hobbies they love. I get to laugh a lot with our patients, and that's what brings me to work everyday! When I'm not at the clinic you'll find me at the Dahl Arts Center sculpting ridiculous things out of ceramic, exploring the hills with my husband or hanging out with my cat reading a book.
Hello! My name is Kjersten and I'm a Patient Care Coordinator at West River Acupuncture & Wellness. What makes my job so rewarding is getting to know each individual patient and watching their personalities shine through as they find relief from their chronic conditions. I was homeschooled growing up, and I have lived here in Rapid City my entire life. I have a lot of hobbies, but in my free time I enjoy composing music, arts and crafts, and all things computer science.
