What a privilege and an honor to sit with women and reclaim our essence together. I feel another layer shed and I’m so grateful to the women who came to do their deep work.

Thank you for guiding me back to myself over this decade of life.

Thank you for following your passions so we can participate in nature’s beauty. 🐬

Thank you for your wisdom, passion, and intelligence about the ocean.

Thank you for helping me go deeper in my breath to find my wounded parts and release them.

Have you noticed that when your Qi, your life force, is depleted, you use all your energy for work? But when you get home you are exhausted and can’t show up for your family or yourself the way you would like? You’re tired, irritable, every bid for attention feels like a slight? Because you have no reserves.

You give up the things you love, the things that bring you joy, not your productivity or capacity for work. The Qi you do have is funneled toward work and survival.

Let’s talk about how you show up for your kids, your partner, your hobbies and the things that bring you joy.

I know you can go to work and push through. I’d rather build your capacity for the things you love, because they are the first things to go when you are depleted.

Hi, I’m Gigi and I’d love to introduce you to my values as a practitioner:

I’m a staunch advocate for Informed consent
and bodily autonomy

I believe we should be the ultimate authority on our body and I strive to help you understand yours better

I promise I will always look one level deeper, even if it feels annoying

I’m solution-oriented and sometimes that requires a bit of a journey, but it’s called “practicing” medicine for this reason

I will always meet you at your capacity

I operate from empathy and compassion, but might challenge you to step into the next phase

I am growth-oriented and love learning

I believe in providing resources for self-efficacy,
so you can engage with your health journey

I acknowledge my weaknesses and will refer out as needed

I’m passionate about health and healing and I cannot wait for you to experience Chinese Medicine!

When I heard this it stopped me in my tracks. Of course it does! I’ve been trying to understand how Chinese medicine helps so beautifully in menopause. It doesn’t force us into the old paradigm, the what was, our former selves. It grabs the torch as marches us toward our new destiny. The way nature designed.

Insights for fall from the Eastern perspective: Fall is a dry season according to Chinese Medicine. It's the season of Lungs and Large Intestine, the organs responsible for letting go.

A lot of healing tools have been obfuscated, and therefore people don’t know they have other options to treat their body. Acupuncture and herbs have been maligned as “woo-woo” and “quackery”, when in fact, it’s one of the best tools I’ve found to keep the body in balance. Not only can it treat pain in pregnancy, it can treat your nausea, headaches, appetite, insomnia, etc. And help you have an easier birth and heal afterwards. Hoping more and more women start to use Chinese medicine as part of their fertility, perinatal, and post-natal journey. 🫶🏻

There are so many conversations happening around menopause, which is just incredible for women. However, some of the options still leave much to be desired.

While I am so happy there are options available for women to reduce the discomfort, they can come with side effects. For instance, Veozah, a medication to block the receptors that cause heat and night sweats, also comes with a black box warning ‼️ about LIVER damage.

What if there was a method that actually supported the liver, while also reducing hot flashes and other symptoms (insomnia, weight gain, irritability, night sweats) ?!?!

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), menopause is not seen as a disorder, but a natural transition into the next phase of women’s lives. We don’t necessarily aim to bring back estrogen or progesterone, but balance these hormones and ease the transition out of these hormones while supporting multiple organ systems and functions within the body.

We treat patterns such as “blood-heat”, “Yin deficiency”, “fire rising”, in addition to constitutional patterns and other imbalances in the body. The patient may come in with multiple patterns, not just the ones associated with menopause. Beyond that, not every menopause patient is the same! We have the unique ability to treat the individual patterns with acupuncture and herbs that nourish and support.

Spread the word, in TCM treating patterns and diseases never comes with a black box warning.
