WOMEN’S HEALTH
Acupuncture has been treating women’s health for thousands of years. And in the 21st Century, we have the advantage of combining our modern knowledge of women’s wellness with the ancient wisdom of acupuncture and oriental medicine.
Women endure all kinds of pain, and still they “carry on” with their many responsibilities.
I believe that women deserve to feel better in life. With acupuncture, herbs, and a healthier lifestyle, it is possible to achieve a healthier happier you!

ACUPUNCTURE DURING PREGNANCY
Pregnancy for some women, can be a difficult time. It is often accompanied by back pain, fatigue, nausea, carpal tunnel, leg pain, swelling, and more.
In the hands of an qualified practitioner, acupuncture is a safe and effective way to support a pregnancy. It is beneficial for women in all stages of pregnancy, from first trimester right up until delivery.
Treating and helping women with infertility, and following them through a healthy pregnancy has been a prime area of interest, both in my undergraduate and post-graduate studies.
After giving birth, many women find themselves experiencing post-partum depression. The hormonal shift in the body is huge, and often taking care of your little one can be exhausting.
The post-partum period can last anywhere from a few months up to a year after birth. Acupuncture helps you recover from childbirth, supplement and build back your energy, while easing depression and calming your spirit.
It is a wonderful way to give you the boost that you need!
