What Patients Are Saying About Their Success:
Areas of Expertise:
Fertility
Preparing for Pregnancy or Difficulty Conceiving
Whether you're preparing your body for pregnancy, or are dealing with issues conceiving, a regime of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and other lifestyle modifications can enhance your fertility, and increase your chances of getting pregnant. Every parent wants the best for their child. This process also works seamlessly to enhance IUI & IVF procedures. As a matter of fact, many fertility clinics have an on-site acupuncturist!
Fertility treatments are available for ANY partner participating in conception and pregnancy - whether contributing sperm, egg, or womb.
Acupuncture is completely safe before, during, and after pregnancy. It can even assist with morning sickness, the aches and pains of pregnancy, or to prepare for labor and delivery. Don't go through the fertility roller-coster alone!
Menstrual Issues, Hormonal Imbalance, Pelvic, Urinary, & Reproductive Health
450 periods occur in the average lifetime. Does yours leave you feeling empowered, or more like Cruella Deville?
Irregular cycles, periods that last forever, breast/chest tenderness, cramps, PMS, migraines, back pain, bloating making you miserable?
Starting and stopping hormonal birth control and IUD -- can cause some of the gnarliest periods ever! They may also cause periods to stop all together, or create undesired symptoms like weight-gain and simply feeling, “off”.
PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome) is becoming a much more common diagnosis today, as well as interstitial cystitis, chronic UTIs, and yeast infections. Hormonal issues commonly show up in conjunction with auto-immune diseases, IBS, migraines, and chronic illness.
There are more holistic solutions available that work cohesively with your body's natural innate wisdom and modern medicine.
Menopause Challenges
Feeling Hot, Frustrated, and Lost
Menopause is a normal life phase; the same as puberty and pregnancy. It's just not as well understood, discussed or accepted. That said, sometimes bodily changes can be severe or overwhelming before, during, and after menopause.
Fluctuating hormones, hot flashes, mood swings, libido dips, fatigue, skin changes, and good luck getting a decent night's sleep! Difficulty maintaining optimal weight and food cravings often accompany this time of life.
Instead of feeling fulfilled and needed, many may also experience normal feelings of loss, sadness, anger, and frustration. Empty nest, divorce, death, and retirement are enormous factors that may also play a role in mental and emotional health as we age.
Anxiety, Depression & Emotional Balance
