Conditions Treated
Nearly every imbalance in the body can be treated by Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Listed below are some areas of interest that I enjoy treating. If you do not see a condition listed below that you need treated, feel free to still reach and see how I can help.
Hormonal Imbalance
Hormonal imbalances can affect mood, energy, sleep, menstrual cycles, and overall wellbeing. Acupuncture helps support the body’s natural hormonal regulation by promoting balance in the endocrine and nervous systems, improving circulation, and reducing stress..
Stress
Stress impacts both the mind and body, contributing to fatigue, tension, sleep disturbances, and other health concerns. Acupuncture works to calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and restore balance, helping your body release tension and regain a sense of calm. Combined with lifestyle guidance and, when appropriate, herbal medicine, it offers a holistic approach to managing stress and supporting overall wellbeing.
Fertility & Preconception Care
In ancient societies preconception care through nutrition and diet was considered customary and extremely important to build the woman’s nutrient stores to prepare for pregnancy. Many factors of modern society can affect your bodies preparedness to conceive, even when you think you are doing everything possible. Acupuncture, nutritional advice and herbal medicine can be beneficial to boost your bodies fertility and nutrient stores and prepare you for a healthy pregnancy and birth.

Digestive Disorders
From IBS to constipation, digestive disorders have become all to common in our fast paced lifestyles. A normal digestive system should flow easily without sluggishness or pain. If you experience digestive discomfort, Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can help to restore balance and flow to your digestive tract.
Anxiety
When we live in a highly unpredictable world, it can feel normal to be anxious at times. However, when that anxiety begins to take over your life and stop you from living, it is time consider alternative means to managing your mental state. Acupuncture can help ease your mind, regulate your nervous system and bring back homeostasis to a body and mind that is attempting to protect itself.
Menstrual Irregularities
If you have been taught that menstrual pain or a long or irregular cycle is normal, unfortunately it is not. Our period is a report card of health that we get every month. Symptoms like cramps, irritability, absent periods, clots, heavy flow, low back pain, PMS and night sweats are all your bodies way of trying to tell you something is wrong.
Acne & skin conditions
Acne has many causes, but all point to a level of imbalance in the body. Whether it be hormonal or gut related, acne can be successfully addressed through Acupuncture and herbs. Other skin conditions like Eczema, Psoriasis, and Shingles all also well treated under TCM therapies.
Menopause
While menopause is a normal phase of life, you may experience it sooner or later than some, and find that you have some unwelcome symptoms. Menopausal symptoms can be managed well with Acupuncture and herbal medicine, and functional labs can be done to confirm which phase of menopause you are in.
