Women's Health
I feel strongly about access to good health care for all women of any age. Our bodies are different and our care should be individualized to meet the needs to the seasons we are in. As our bodies move through the stages of life it should be with ease and fluidity. Acupuncture can help make these phases more comfortable. I offer private women's health acupuncture and coaching as well as affordable community acupuncture clinics. Treatments are focused on stress reduction, hormone balancing, fertility, pregnancy and labor preparation as well as postpartum support. Still nursing and want to bring baby with you? Contact me and we can arrange a peaceful and relaxing session while you care for your little one. Please refer to my community clinic page for information about the community setting. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.

Fertility and Pregnancy Support
Acupuncture is a great way to support any fertility treatment. Research shows that receiving acupuncture during pregnancy is extremely beneficial to both mother and baby. Early pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and vomiting can be relieved with regular acupuncture sessions. Acupuncture is safe for all stages of pregnancy.
Labor Preparation and Postpartum Support
At 36 weeks there are particular points used in an acupuncture session that can help ready the cervix and uterus for labor. Research shows that regular acupuncture during this time can help make for an easier and safer labor for mother. Postpartum acupuncture is supportive in helping mother regain her energy, balance her hormones and even help with breastmilk supply.
Hormone Balancing and Menopause Support
Acupuncture has been proven to help balance hormones at any stage of a women's life whether this be at first menstruation or during menopause. Common symptoms like migraines and hot flashes can be relieved with regular acupuncture.
