Do any of the following statements sound like you?

• "I'm having problems with my period or with PMS and western medicine hasn't come up with solutions that work for me.."

• "I'm ready to become pregnant, and I'm looking for a safe, natural way to support this goal."

• "I've been trying to get pregnant and I'm frustrated. I've followed my doctor's recommendations, but nothing has worked."

• "I'm pregnant and I would like my baby and myself to be as healthy as possible."

• "I want to support my pregnancy and prepare my body for childbirth in a natural, healthy way."

• "I'm pregnant and I'm having discomfort (morning sickness, back pain, etc.), and nothing I've tried has helped."

• "I'm almost at my due date and my doctor is pressuring me to induce. I want to avoid chemical induction, if possible. Is there another way?"

• "I want to have a healthy labor where I can avoid an epidural, if possible. Also, I want emotional support during my labor."

• "I've had the baby, and now I'm having some difficulties."

If you can identify with one of the previous statements, I can help you.

You may want to know if I have experience working with your condition. The answer is yes, it's likely that I do. Over the last 10 years I've helped women with the following conditions:

Reproductive health

Pre-menstrual: irritability, breast tenderness, cramps, bloating, emotional fluctuations, and more

Menstrual: painful periods, no periods, delayed/irregular periods, excessive periods, periods that never stop, mid-cycle bleeding

Other: low libido, pain during intercourse, vaginal itching or pain, recurrent yeast or bacterial infections, vaginal discharge, PID, and more.

Infertility

Infertility can be caused by any number of factors, including lack of ovulation (or amenorrhea), polycystic ovary syndrome, poor egg quality, excessive LH production, anti-sperm antibodies, and more.

I've helped women in many different situations become pregnant. Some women had multiple IUIs that failed and with acupuncture they became pregnant. Some women had failed IVF cycles and became pregnant with acupuncture and herbal treatment. Some women wanted to try acupuncture and herbs before trying fertility medications, and became pregnant using these natural methods.

Regardless of your situation, if you're meant to have a child, acupuncture and herbs will help you get there.

Pregnancy

This includes: morning sickness, fatigue, heartburn, constipation, threatened miscarriage, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, urinary tract infections, vaginal itching or discharge, back pain, pubic pain, pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, breech position, swelling, and more.

I love treating pregnant women, because it is such a sacred, awe-inspiring time, full of wonder and magic. Unfortunately, it can also be quite uncomfortable physically. Acupuncture and herbs have been used in China for thousands of years to help pregnant women feel better, and I know they can help you, too.

Induction of Labor

Many women come to my office seeking induction because they feel pressure from their doctors or their families. Sometimes, they just are ready to have the baby! I completely trust your body - it knows how to go into labor and give birth, and it knows the right time to do this. If you're feeling that your body may need support doing so, it's likely that acupuncture can help.

During Labor

This includes: pain relief, emotional support, failure to progress, unfavorable cervical dilation and effacement, malposition, placenta retention

Attending a birth is an honor and a privilege. I hold your process in the highest esteem and do everything in my power to make you more comfortable, physically and emotionally. Acupressure and acupuncture are well known for their ability to ease the pain of contractions, invigorate a stalled labor, increase cervical dilation, help the baby change position if needed, and discharge the placenta. Acupressure and acupuncture can help you whether you are giving birth in a hospital, birthing center, or at home.

Post-Partum

This includes: post-partum recovery, difficult lactation, mastitis, sore or cracked nipples, post-cesarean scarring.

I am happy to come to your house to support your full recovery from labor and birth. Both acupuncture and herbs can speed up your recovery dramatically so that you're feeling like your old self and ready to take care of your family.
