Three Golden Opportunities

Are you feeling overwhelmed by hormonal imbalances? Are irregular periods, PMS, or birth control challenges disrupting your life?

At our clinic, we believe that women's health needs personalized care. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer a holistic approach to supporting you through these challenges. Let's explore how these ancient practices can help restore balance, alleviate symptoms, and empower you to take control of your health.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are potent ways to support you through any hormonal transition. While we live in a Western, productivity focused culture there is a need for all of us to slow down to allow for Yin. When you come in to rest for acupuncture, this is Yin. When you receive care, this is Yin. When you are feeling frazzled or burnt out, you are in need of some Yin.

These are moments in time sometimes the body goes haywire. Connection is lost and disease sets in. These are also moments that you can slow down, to input as much nourishment as possible to help you reset or recharge for your next chapter.

Three Golden Opportunities to care deeply for yourself are -

  • Menstruation

  • Postpartum

  • Perimenopause

The memo is always DON’T BURN OUT. Just as you would not spend your life savings all in one place. Do not “spend” all of your energy in one go. Know to be extra tender with yourself if you are in one of the phases listed above.

If you are tired, your body is talking to you.

If you are not feeling well, your body is talking to you.

If you need help, we are here for you.

Many of our beloved clients go through multiple life chapters with us. Sometimes they pop in and out. One of our favorite ways to support people is at home ritual.

Recommendations -

  • Castor Oil Packs - to deepen your Yin. To support your body’s ability to move and cleanse. Talk to your acupuncturist about Liver or Pelvic packs and which is best for you.

  • Herbal remedies - custom formulas available for you by your acupuncturist

  • Learning - this course on Perimenopause and all the work by The Way Of Yin

If you need support on period health, pregnancy, postpartum, or perimenopause, we are here for you!
