There are plenty of places you can go for acupuncture.

I wanted to create something different—a space where women feel comfortable slowing down, tuning in with themselves, and feeling genuinely cared for.

At Ritual House, my approach blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with modern women’s health and holistic beauty. Whether you’re seeking support for your hormones, fertility, painful periods, stress, or facial rejuvenation, every treatment is personalized to the person in front of me.

My hope is that when you walk through these doors, you feel a little lighter than when you arrived.

If you’ve been looking for a wellness space that treats the whole person, I’d love to welcome you. 💛

Endometriosis isn't just a hormone problem.

And it isn't just a gynecological condition.

It's increasingly understood as a complex disease involving the immune system, inflammation, and the body's ability to regulate its own tissues.

In women with endometriosis, the immune system doesn't simply clear endometrial-like tissue that's growing outside the uterus. Instead, it often creates a persistent inflammatory environment that allows lesions to survive, recruit blood vessels and nerves, and contribute to ongoing pain. Even when lesions are small, this inflammatory environment can influence fertility by affecting the pelvis, the uterine lining, and implantation.

This is one of the reasons I take a whole-body approach to treatment.

It's not just about easing cramps.

It's about understanding everything that may be contributing to inflammation and how your body is functioning as a whole:

• Digestive health
• Sleep
• Stress and nervous system regulation
• Menstrual patterns
• Energy levels
• Pelvic pain
• Fertility goals

In my fertility mentorship, we spent a great deal of time exploring the immune-reproductive interface— the idea that successful reproduction depends on a healthy balance between immune surveillance and immune tolerance. When the body is disrupted, inflammation can affect not only symptoms, but also implantation and endometrial receptivity.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we don't view endometriosis as an isolated problem confined to the uterus. We look for patterns throughout the body and create a treatment plan that supports the individual—not just the diagnosis.

While acupuncture and Chinese medicine aren't a cure for endometriosis, many women use them alongside their medical care to help manage pain, support quality of life, regulate cycles, and optimize fertility.

💛 You deserve more than being told painful periods are "just part of being a woman."

In Chinese medicine, we don’t wait until the body is screaming for help. We pay attention to the whispers—fatigue, poor sleep, tension, digestive changes, headaches, skin flare-ups, or feeling “off.”

Those subtle shifts are often the body’s way of asking for support before they become bigger problems.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause, listen, and give your body the care it’s been asking for. 💛

Ever notice how your whole face softens after you finally relax?

When we’re stressed, we tend to hold tension in our jaw, forehead, scalp, and neck. Over time, that tension can affect how we feel—and even how we look.

One of my favorite parts of treatment is giving the nervous system permission to slow down. As the body shifts into a more relaxed state, muscles can release, circulation improves, and many people leave feeling lighter than when they arrived.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is give your body space to recharge. 🔋✨

There’s nothing better than hearing that a patient feels like herself again. 🤍

This patient came in after struggling with migraines for most of her adult life. Over time, her migraines resolved, and we’ve continued working together to support pain, tensions, and symptoms related to her menstrual cycle, helping her feel more balanced month after month.

Acupuncture isn’t only about chasing symptoms. It’s about understanding the patterns beneath them and supporting your body’s ability to heal.

Thank you to every patient who trusts me with their care—it truly means the world.

“Why does my acupuncturist ask so many questions?” 🤔

Before I place a single needle, I’m trying to understand you—not just the symptom that brought you in.

That’s why I ask about things that might seem completely unrelated:

• Your sleep
• Your digestion
• Your bowel movements
• Your energy
• Your stress
• Your menstrual cycle
• Your skin
• Your body temperature
• Your headaches
• Even your dreams

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, your body isn’t viewed as a collection of separate systems. Everything is connected.

The migraine, acne, painful periods, bloating, fatigue, or jaw tension that brings you into my office is only one piece of the puzzle. By looking at the whole picture, I can identify patterns that help guide a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

✨ Healing begins by understanding the root—not just managing the symptom.

Most people are surprised when I ask about bloating, bowel movements, reflux, or food sensitivities during a fertility consultation.

But in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Spleen and Stomach are where fertility is built. The Spleen is considered the postnatal root—it transforms the food you eat into the qi and blood that nourish the menstrual cycle, support the endometrium, and provide the foundation for pregnancy.

If digestion isn’t functioning well, your body may struggle to efficiently transform nutrients into the “raw materials” needed to build healthy blood and a receptive uterine lining.

The mentorship materials describe this as a production problem before a blood-flow problem.

This is why I ask about symptoms like:
• Bloating after meals
• Constipation or loose stools
• Reflux or indigestion
• Food sensitivities
• Feeling exhausted after eating

These aren’t just digestive complaints—they can be important clues about how well your body is nourishing itself. The Spleen-Stomach system is viewed as one functional unit, and digestive symptoms often provide insight into the health of the “middle jiao,” the foundation of nourishment.

Emerging research is also exploring how the gut microbiome, gut barrier, inflammation, and immune signaling may influence hormone metabolism, ovulation, implantation, and reproductive health.

✨ Fertility isn’t just about the ovaries. It’s about creating a body that’s well nourished from the inside out.

Have you ever had a fertility practitioner ask you about your digestion? 👇

We spend so much time searching for the perfect skincare routine that we sometimes forget to nourish the body beneath it.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, healthy skin isn’t viewed in isolation. It’s a reflection of the body’s internal balance—especially the quality of our Yin, Blood, and body fluids.

This summer’s heat wave left my skin feeling dry and reactive, so I found myself returning to one of my favorite beauty rituals: a chilled cup of Tremella.

Often called nature’s beauty mushroom, Tremella has been treasured in Traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries to nourish Yin and replenish body fluids. Today, researchers are also exploring its unique polysaccharides for their potential role in supporting skin hydration.

That inspiration became my Glow Tonic—a blend I gently simmer with sliced apple for a touch of natural sweetness and enjoy as a daily ritual.

Because sometimes the most beautiful skincare routine begins long before you open a moisturizer.

Have you ever tried Tremella? 🌿

Come with me while I treat a patient with neck and jaw tension. ✨

At first glance, it might seem like a simple case of muscle tightness—but in Chinese medicine, we’re always asking why the tension is there.

This patient had been spending more time looking down at her phone, moving less than usual, and was in the premenstrual phase of her cycle. Those details pointed me toward a pattern of Liver Qi stagnation.

In TCM, the Liver is responsible for keeping Qi moving smoothly throughout the body. When Qi becomes constrained—whether from stress, prolonged posture, lack of movement, or hormonal shifts—it often shows up as tension, especially through the neck, jaw, and shoulders along the Liver and Gallbladder channel pathways.

Rather than only treating the areas that felt tight, I chose points to encourage the free flow of Liver Qi while also releasing the local muscles and calming the nervous system.

That’s one of my favorite things about Chinese medicine: two people can come in with the same symptom, but the treatment can look completely different depending on what’s happening beneath the surface.

Have you noticed your neck or jaw feeling tighter before your period or after spending too much time on your phone?
