Acupuncture isn't just for pain. It's the stuff nobody puts on the treatment menu:
- the sleep that finally sticks
- the cycle that shows up on time
- the immune system that stops crashing every time someone sneezes near you

That's the real ROI. Put ROI in the comments, and I'll send you a link to book a free consult.
Are you ready for your next season?

Thinking about baby number two? Let's talk about something most people skip right past: are you actually healed from the first?

Most midwives and OBs will tell you a year between pregnancies is ideal - but healing is about more than time on a calendar.

Still feeling depleted? Cycle irregular or painful? Still haven't had a normal period, even accounting for nursing? These aren't just "normal postpartum things" to push through - they're signs your body hasn't fully filled its cup back up yet.

So much of what we've been told is "just part of postpartum" actually points to a body that needs more support before it's ready for what's next.

This is exactly why I love treating people wherever they are in their postpartum journey - not just to help you heal and recover, but to actually set you up for what's ahead. Whether that's a second healthy pregnancy, or a smoother transition into the next chapter, perimenopause and beyond.

Your body deserves to be fully replenished before we ask it to do this again. Let's get you there. 🤍

When I show up to support someone in labor, my needles don't always come out - because staying mobile matters more.

So what's actually in the bag?

Wooden combs to press acupressure points in the hand. A scarf for rebozo work, helping the body unwind between contractions. Affirmation cards for the moments that need a reminder of your strength.

Sometimes there's even room for a quick acupuncture treatment during labor - and if you've ever had one, you know the "acu-nap" that follows is unmatched rest exactly when your body needs it most.

This is what it looks like to bring Chinese medicine into the birth room.

So many people walk into my office already juggling a handful of specialists, each one focused on a single symptom.

What I love is being able to hold the whole story - whether we're doing preconception work or supporting you through perimenopause - and treat you as a complete person, not "symptom A" or "symptom D."

Usually the first 12 weeks are about building that foundation. After that, we shift into wellness and maintenance, finding a rhythm that fits your life, your budget, and your body.

You are not your symptoms - you are a whole person, and your care should reflect that.

"Your bloodwork is normal" is one of the most frustrating things to hear when you're still not pregnant and you're doing everything right.

But normal bloodwork is only one piece of a much bigger picture. I look at your sleep, your cycle, your digestion. I read your tongue and take your pulse, because they tell me things bloodwork simply can't.

From there, we build a plan specific to what your body needs - weekly acupuncture, herbs if appropriate - and we adjust it as your body changes.

If IVF is on the horizon in the next three months, now is the time to get your body ready.

Message me and let's get started.

The moment the internet finds out you're doing IVF, you're flooded with fertility teas, supplement stacks, and "must-try" tips - and almost none of it tells you whether it will actually help or quietly work against your protocol.

That's exactly where I come in.

Depending on where you are in your cycle, the right approach changes completely - for example, before egg retrieval, we pause anything that invigorates blood flow, since that can increase bleeding risk.

Bring me your protocol calendar, your clinic's plan, and your current supplement list, and we'll build a timeline that supports what your clinic is already doing - so you can move through IVF with as much flow and ease as possible.

Here's something most people don't know: you were born with every egg you will ever have.

But the 90 days before conception - or before your IVF cycle - is when your body actively recruits and prepares that next cohort of eggs and s***m. That window is when we can genuinely impact quality.

It's one of my favorite times to meet families, because there's real, meaningful work we can do together before the process even begins.

If you're planning to conceive or start IVF in the next few months, this is your sign to start now, not later.
