Pregnancy and Postpartum

With over two decades of experience,
I’ve supported women through every stage of pregnancy— from morning sickness and fatigue to breech presentation, labor, and postpartum recovery. I’m here for you through the easy symptoms and am equipped to handle the more challenging ones as well.

I have extensive experience in managing both pre-existing and pregnancy-induced conditions, and navigating miscarriage. Additionally, I help women prepare their bodies for pregnancy and have comprehensive experience working with fertility issues.

Women’s Health

Chinese medicine offers a holistic approach to understanding and managing the female reproductive cycle, providing effective solutions for a wide range of gynecological conditions. I work with individuals at every stage of the cycle to restore balance and promote overall well-being and have extensive experience in addressing issues such as: 

• Amenorrhea (lack of cycle)
• Bleeding disorders 
• Cysts 
• Dysmenorrhea (painful periods) 
• Endometriosis 
• Fibroids
• Hormonal imbalances 
• Infertility 
• Irregular cycles 
• Leukorrhea  
• Poly cystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) 
• Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) 
• Perimenopause 
• Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) 
• Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
• UTIs 
• Vaginal dryness 
• Yeast infections 

Support for Tweens and Teens:

I also support young individuals—tweens and teens—helping them understand their cycles, recognize key signs and symptoms, and learn simple self-care techniques to manage common patterns, preventing more serious issues from developing.

Pediatric Cold and Flu

Chinese herbal tinctures are fantastic for treating common cold and flu symptoms from stuffy noses and coughs to sore throats and fevers even for our littlest ones. Stomach bugs, ear infections, even post illness fatigue or a low immune system can all be addressed through herbs.  Does your child frequently get the same illness?  Tap into the preventative potential of pediatric tincures.  

If you’re interested in supporting your family with the TCM medicine cabinet during cold and flu season please contact me to schedule a visit.

Perimenopause

Perimenopause is a time of great physical, mental and emotional change as our bodies transition from the patience of nurturing children to the wisdom of a more matriarchal role.   Symptoms can vary widely and carry a wealth of information about how our bodies are adjusting to this shift.  

I have found Chinese Medicine to be highly effective in alleviating perimenopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, insomnia, and anxiety. In addition to addressing these symptoms directly, Chinese Medicine is also recognized for its preventative benefits, supporting cardiovascular, neurological, and bone health. 

Please reach out if you are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms or have any questions, I’d love to help!
