My interest in gynecology and fertility developed from my own healing journeys I had to work through.  As a teen I struggled through extraordinary painful periods month after month for almost six years.  Once I was led onto the path of acupuncture, herbs and nutrition I was amazed at how they cleared up within four months and I finally had monthly cycles that were smooth, easy and predictable.  What a feeling of relief and joy!

​

​Fertility is another area I am passionate about.  For many couples this can be a smooth and easy process, while others struggle for months or years to get pregnant.  Then there are others who experience the joy of finding out they are pregnant only to be followed by grief of a miscarriage.  I can relate to both the struggle and the grief.  Each of these scenarios are physically, mentally and emotionally draining for both parents.  This is also another reason I love the many modalities of Traditional Chinese medicine.  When I work with couples on balancing hormones and reducing stress their fertility improves as well as their chances for an easier conception.  An acupuncture treatment is only one part of this whole healing process.  Making sure the body is properly nourished with whole foods and that self-care routines are in place is just as important. 

I enjoy working as a team with my patients to help them find that balance!
